Geddy adapted and evolved as a singer.

 

Geezer was deceptively good as a lyricist. Neil was deceptively bad as a lyricist. Neil's hokeyness was much more pronounced at times.

 

Black Sabbath was WAY more influential and original. But I voted for Rush because I like them more than Black Sabbath, not because they are better than Black Sabbath.

The main thing I feel with Sabbath is the atmosphere- it's all about the great riffs, with them. But I can get tired of that after not very long. They made some great albums, but I can't listen to them over and over again ad nauseam, as I can (and do) with Rush.

 

Better musicianship, better lyrics, better singing...it's a Rush hat trick.

 

The answer is :rush:

I started loving Sabbath before Rush and I don't know now which one of the two bands has a larger portion of my heart, but Rush win these polls anyway (but they might lose some else with always these two bands involved)

Voted for Geddy, Neil & Rush.

 

That being said, I am sort of surprised Geddy is as far ahead of Ozzy as he is in this. Still, I find Geddy to be a more interesting singer. Now if the question had been "Who was the better front man or the better at working a crowd, Geddy or Ozzy?" Ozzy would have had my vote.

Geddys rather busy. As much as I like Ozzy he stands there clapping and yelling I love you all.
