For me, yes. I'll list some:

 

The Pass

YYZ (and just about every other track on Moving Pictures. actually)

Red Barchetta

La Villa Strangiato

Bastille Day

Something for Nothing

Jacob's Ladder.....

 

I could go on for some time.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll add
Cygnus X-1
Xanadu
By Tor and the Snow Dog
on the other hand how do we know they will win in a poll.Ermm



Of course I meant in a poll. Surely there are many people who will like many songs more than Starless... but if you make a poll, which song could actually beat it? Of course, it's rather easy to find out, one only needs to make the poll. Perhaps later on I'll do it... but there are many songs suggested, and people may grow tired of seeing so many polls of "X Rush Song vs Starless".

I know what you meant. No need to explain I ain't thick. What is the problem?


I meant no offense, sorry. And by the way, I actually overlooked your final sentence (about "how do we know they will win in a poll"), otherwise I might not even had replied at all, or I would have replied in a different manner perhaps. However, still, which one song would you put against Starless? We may just make the poll and find out.

R.U.S.HHeadbangermore music to headbang to and not much ambience. I respect Crimson don't get me wrong but how many great albums does Rush have:Caress of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres,practically everything up to Hold Your Fire is gold to me. What does Crimson have that is perfect: Nothing Yeah I said it nothing they're just average

In The Court Of The Crimson King, which trumps all of Rush's work.

Because I said I like to headbang doesn't mean that I'm 12( older than you think). I love Hard Rock, Metal, Prog and Rush is the best mix of it not the ambience that Crimson has in their music, which is interesting in it's own right. I just prefer ballsy rock with the Prog Rock and no delivers it better than the "Holy Trinity". Fact

Don't be jealous of their longevity, please

If the criteria is the same as for Rush, then we have:
In the Court of the Crimson King
Lizard
Islands
Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Starless and Bible Black
Red
Discipline
The ConstruKction of Light (yes I said it)
The Power to Believe
practically everything from in the court to the power to believe is gold to me (but these ones listed are gold gold gold).

Eh?

My vote would go for King Crimson. Although Rush is an excellent band, they aren't that eclectic, diverse, experimental as King Crimson.
