coffeeintheface... The man in the motorcycle in your signature isn't, perhaps, Olaf Thorsen (that is an excellent person...  At least from what I understood speaking with Olaf after a concert of the Vision Divine)? 

Oh my God... Genesis Vs Rush? For Me Rush!!!

Impossible to answer.

Both are among my all time fav bands.

Is nice to see the poll is really tight by the way. Both bands are beyond good and evil, they can't lose.

Rush definitely. Genesis WERE a GREAT progressive rock band, but the band died when Gabriel left. Or at least when Steve Hackett left. I can't stand the pop-Genesis with Collins on lead vocals. I love Nursery Cryme, Trespass, Foxtrot and SEbtP, but how could I vote for the band that has done nothing great since the 70s?
Rush may not be prog anymore, but I like Snakes & arrows very much. And they are still a great liveband.

Because Rush are loyal to their "religion" (yes, band like Rush are religions) i vote with them. But I admit  the fact, that Rush doesen't have an "Selling England By The Pound"

I cannot symphatise with the entire collection of both bands: Collins era Genesis is hardly prog and most of the Rush albums after Moving Pictures fail to  keep my attention. My choice: 70-77 Genesis and second best 76-86 Rush Wink

Yes, yes, Genesis WITH Gabriel. But that was over 30 years ago. I thought this poll was about "RUSH vs. GENESIS", not "RUSH vs. "GENESIS with GABRIEL"..?! Many people seem to vote for Genesis just because they did albums like Selling England By The Pound many years ago, and many of those people don't like the Phil Collins-era at all.  Nowadays I'm a big fan of the old Genesis with Peter Gabriel, but I think that most of the albums with Phil Collins on lead vocals are very bad and not prog at all, whereas Rush has done great albums after the 70s.

Yes they do! Actually, they have ~4 of them. A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and of course Moving Pictures. Tongue

Oh boy.  I couldn't survive without either!

I've been a fan of Rush for two years more, so Rush it is.

find Rush infintely more interesting....  thus fun to pick at....

listening to that Rush cover album right now as a matter of fact..  much better than that horror of album of DT covers (ACoS)   I listened to yesterday.  Rush  sure did nail The Seeker. Clap

Three months ago, I would've said Rush, without any hesitation. Back then, I probably even would have went as far as calling them the best band in the world.

Now, however, Genesis are one of my absolute favorite bands, and with the awesomeness of pretty much all of their 70's records, they beat Rush by far.

Honestly I'm not a fan of these two bands... but Genesis made Selling England By The Pound and this says all.

I find it almost if not impossibel to take side. But I like the harder rockdriven and style of Rush. But also the little softer but very dynamic sound of Genesis. So I chose not to vote.
