jamie Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rush is my favorite so none. Led Zeppelin comes pretty damn close in 2nd though, but I love Rush just a liiitle more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Plenty. Toto(Shut up) The BandDire StraitsSteely DanKansas(70's Kansas beats 70's rush easy)Queen I can go more but i'll wait for criticisms on theses, lol Mick Whatever happened to Tom Waits with you? I think it's time for a new avatar. You could always grab Nicolas Cage ;) he said bands. Tom Waits still trumps all buddy, lol Mick I'm not super familiar with Tom Waits, but In the Colosseum and New Coat of Paint (the only songs I'm very familiar with) are really f***ing good I can't do the voice. He sounds like his larynx got run over by a semi. Joe Bonamassa does a really cool interpretation of Jockey Full Of Bourbon, though. LOL. Don't listen to Captain Beefheart then!! Use me like an ashtray heart, case of the punks, right from the start!! Beefheart's shit Mick I would never cuss but yes, I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I will also say that Rush is top, and can never be unseated. But I also understand the intent of the thread- and there is so much music that I do love, that I can definitely list some bands that I love or have loved as much as Rush. But I'm going to have to think for awhile, before I start to just name bands willy nilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Maybe I should have renamed this thread to bands you like almost as much or more than Rush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Top three bands: Queen, Rush, and Muse, in that order.And Queen's only got Rush beat out cause I found them first. Plus no band will ever have a song that represents their entire career better than Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Maybe I should have renamed this thread to bands you like almost as much or more than Rush... This is why I said I'd have to think about it. Rush has meant so much to me, for so long... Anyway, all right, here goes: The Black CrowesRay LaMontagneStevie Ray VaughanJoni Mitchell (mainly 1969-'79 only, with some later stuff included, too)Yes (1969-'78 only) I know there are more...buy that'll do, for a start.

I am torn on Yes. They are in the same boat as Styx, I am mad about them but they are definitley mood bands, I need to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Certainly Steely Dan's classic period of 1973-'80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgaz Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rush are my number one, but for longevity and sustained excellence (for the most part) I also have to mention Marillion, Deep Purple and Manic Street Preachers. But with Rush at #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Out of all the bands that rotate in and out of my top ten bands, Rush has never left that spot. So while they aren't always #1 on a given day or month, they've always remained so I can easily say they are my all time favorite band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 More than Rush? Please. A band that has skyrocited to number two is Redemption. I'd probably be more excited to see them live than Rush at this point. I assume because I never have seen them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rush is my absolute favorite, but I love The Beatles, Queen, and Billy Joel almost half as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Lee Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have a lot of "favorite" bands, and Rush is among them. Good tunes is good tunes, no need for ranking for me :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have for the longest time found Animal Collective (and solo member Panda Bear) as well as They Might Be Giants to be undeniably superior to Rush in my books. Beyond that, Rush falls into a weird ranking that is ever changing with my mood about how I feel about them compared to the rest of my top ten.

Digital Man Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 1) RUSH....for 33 years. As soon as I heard them something clicked. I wore out 2 cassettes of Permanent Waves throughout high school 5) Led Zeppelin5) Stevie Ray Vaughn5) Pink Floyd5) Black Sabbath with Ozzy Everyone else:Van Halen - Van HagerIron Maiden - pre powerslaveAC/DC up to For Those About to RockFleetwood MacGarbageBilly JoelQueen Some one offs: Norah JonesSarah MacLaughlin - for her voice. I don't have any of her albums other than a Christmas one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It's not so much that I like other bands more than Rush than I think other bands have been, at one time or another, better than Rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Like more than post-Terry Brown Rush? Many bands, more than worth listing. More than Terry Brown Rush? Maybe just The Beatles, Wire and Radiohead, though the Pixies relatively short burst of greatness and The Wedding Present's best material (Seamonsters and Take Fountain, along with side project Cinerama) might edge them out. Tones on Tail, if they had kept making albums like Pop (UK)/The Album Pop (U.S.) and New Order, if they had stuck more to their early style and not drifted into programmed club pop, could have challenged Rush also, but as things are their representative output is too limited to compare them to Rush. Led Zeppelin is pretty hard to leave behind as well, but that run of 2112 through MP is pretty hard to compete with. So I guess I'll go with The Beatles, Wire, Radiohead, Pixies (despite a short run of albums), and The Wedding Present (despite a lack of consistency). And Led Zeppelin in a tie. Final answer.

Plus no band will ever have a song that represents their entire career better than Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody. Muse? Wow, did not expect to see them mentioned! Good on you! I enjoy them a lot. Thank goodness for the Internet or I never would have found them. Back before I discovered Muse I basically didn't listen to music made after the "classic rock" period (bad term, I know). Then some dude online said "hey man, I really like this band muse and I think you would like 'em to cause they're a little bit like Queen!" I said sure, he sent me some videos, Time Is Running Out became my favorite Muse song and I've been in love with them ever since. Now I'm supremely "psych(o)"-ed for the new album this June! I remember you had that signature with a bunch of album covers on it a while back and I remember seeing Black Holes and Revelations on there. Can I assume those were some of your favorite albums?
