After thinking long and hard about this one I had to vote for Rush in the end, everything else is just not quite as good in my opinion. This includes; warm weather, cute puppies, time with family, good films, chocolate cake, loving relationships and winning money.

There's no way Rush could go up against Ditka.

Everything else wins on this one.

Though I like Rush, doesn't everything else have to win out by definition?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Tough one.

I mean, "everything else" includes beer, sex, Mark Twain, choice, pause buttons, rap, sculpturing, comic books, destructive egos, and trees.

But maybe Rush has it covered:
beer- "Natural Science"
sex- "In the Mood"
Mark Twain- "Tom Sawyer"
pause buttons- "Time Stand Still"
rap- "Roll the Bones"
sculpturing- "Carve Away the Stone"
comic books- "Ghost Rider"
destructive egos- "Malignant Narcissism"
trees- ...well, I'm not sure they have anything about tress...


Yes, Rush has 'The Trees' from HemispheresWink



Yeah, that was sort of the joke.  Wink




Wait, I don't get it.

If everything else includes beer, than Rush loses by a mile in my books.

for me "everything else" meant "everything else musically" only. still it is a no-brainer for me, since Rush are definitely NOT among my favorite bands. but I am amazed how far fanboysm can actually go

Apparently, fanboyism hasn't taken them any further than fangirlism have taken bands such as Guru Guru, Can, Egg, or any of the other bands that I never heard of until you and BaldFriede mentioned them hundreds of times.

That's exactly why I created this poll.

I wanted to test the fanboyism up to its limit.

I couldn't actually believe someone would vote for Rush in the poll but looks like I was wrong.
