My tied faves are Yes and Mike Oldfield, but then it's Rush. So they're either 3rd or 2nd, however you look at it. tongue.gif

I would like to be explore Oldfield a little more... I like Tubular Bells so I bought Ommadawn thinking I might be able to get into it and found it horribly boring so never went beyond that really.

May I recommend Amarok? wink.gif biggrin.gif

Rush is hands down my favorite band. They are what I listen to 95% of the time. Just so much great material. Heres my top 5

 

Rush

Genesis

(Considerable Distance)

Dream Theater

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

A whole bunch of other bands that don't solidify the 5 spot

The only member of Led Zeppelin that could be considered in the same league as any Rush member is Jimmy Page

Errrrrrrrrrrr, have you ever heard of a bloke called John Paul Jones????

Quiet unassuming chappy, plays the bass a bit, bit tasty on the old keyboards, top notch musical arranger and bit of a duff singer. He's the true genius of Led Zeppelin.

 

Are Rush my favourite band? I don't know, I'm too old to bother with things like that, I'm not 18 any more. There's plenty of music out there that I love, but, Rush are the only band I will go to see multiple times on tour.

 

Thank-you

JPJ is great, but now lets compare him to Geddy... Oh- game over! biggrin.gif

C)  I used to idolize Rush, but lately I've really grown to appreciate Hannah Montana's body of work.

I happen to be a gigantic fan of Hannah's work. Her last album is a masterpeice!

I would put Zep at no.1, always have done, but then again, Zep didn't release a mind-blowing album last year(unlike a certain Canadian power-trio), so it's a hard one. I'm going to fudge here and mention the 5 bands who are currently my Top 5, not in order of preference.

This top 5 changes regularly, there's so much music, it just has to.

 

Led Zeppelin

King Crimson

Van Der Graaf Generator

Yes

Rush

 

Tomorrow it could be

 

Queen

Husker Du

Status Quo

Planxty

Jethro Tull

 

The day after could be

 

The Beatles

The Stones

The Velvets

Genesis

The Beach Boys

 

My "modern" day top 5 would be

 

LCD Soundsystem

Battles

Mars Volta

Arcade Fire

Republic Of Loose

 

Where to put Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Sabbath, Purple, The Replacements, Radiohead, Pixies, Marillion???????

Dylan, Lou Reed, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, Bowie. Aaaaaaaaahh, this list is impossible.

 

I need a cup of tea.

Rush is number two to me. Queen edges Rush by a few points.

wtf.gif

I know, my opinion is different than yours. Clearly I'm inferior in intellect and musical taste.

 

Good thing I could care less what a hater thinks.
