YES vs RUSH -- Monday question

[megoapesnut]

OMG RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best band ever to walk the face of the earth. And while that MAY just be my opinion (but it's actually fact), there is no denying that Neil Peart is the best drummer to EVER pick up a pair of drumsticks!

C'mon Thomas, you mean to tell me you've never even heard Tom Sawyer ?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I listened, while I knew I shouldn't have.
Mike, you will burn in hell for this.

But to answer your question - and this based solely on these two songs (and I use that term loosely) - the answer would have to be Rush. Yes is a total snoozefest, couldn't stand that for more than 5 minutes, while Rush (at least that particular song) sounds somewhat early heavy metal. Probably wouldn't last a day either tho

Yes please

Some of you guys are talking like Rush is some kinda lame band.

Are you kidding me?

Not only is Rush one of the greatest all time rock bands...Neil Peart is one of the greatest drummers of all times...period...

Early days...

Neil Peart Solo Drum

As far as Yes...they are ok.

Rush is up there on my list...and yes...Peart rules.

I would place Buddy Rich right up there too though...

Trans-Europe Express

I've listened to RUSH for 24 hours straight intentionally, multiple times. Best Band Ever. Yes is a great band as well (although 24 hours would get a bit repetitive), so this is just another idiotic thread in my humble opinion. 24 hours of reading stupid threads like this would be the worst torture. (<--- this makes my opinion OK, right? )

FYI - I love Queen, but more than 4 hours of Freddie Mercury would have me tearing my eardrums out.

I'd have no problem whatsoever listening to Queen for 24 hours

Another vote for 1977's Trans Europe Express.

I love both bands. Rush rules. I would have no problem listening for 24 hours.
