I'd take Pet Sounds over any single Beatles or Rush  (or Who or Stones or Dylan) album. But just barely.

If you voted for Rush then you are simply a BAD person.

If we are voting for greatest albums of all time, then I agree.

That list wasn't definitive!....... but yeah, Pet Sounds, Sunflower, Surf's Up..... As good as some Beatles IMO (but not better)

Not really a fair contest; The Adam and Eve of Rock versus one of their children's children.

Wow - over 350 people have voted in this poll.  Since the last post was over 18 months ago, I thought it's worth reviving for the benfit of new members.
 
I can't imagine Peart doing "Thomas The Tank Engine"
I can't imagine Lee doing "We All Stand Together"
I can't imagine Lifeson doing "Two Virgins"

This is unbelievable ... 155 votes for Rush? Rush?! RUSH?!! ... against The Beatles?! Rush never achieved the heights of The Fab Four.

^Well, somewhy I always thought Beatles were overrated. I'm a huge fan of Sgt. Pepper though, but it's the only Beatles record I loved.

They're both horrifically overrated bands whose songs are very hit or miss. I'll go with The Beatles I guess though.

Rush is one of the most consistent bands out there.
