EagleMoon Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 MORE than Rush?? Surely you jest. Led Zepplin is a distant 2nd place for me. Sadly not...Rush are not quite my favourite band, right now they are third to Lacuna Coil and Nightwish. I can't see the appeal of Lacuna Coil. I bought one of their albums just to see what they were about and they strike me as pale Evanescence imitators. Except...erm...by the time Evanescence released their first album, Lacuna Coil had already released three albums, and two EP's and performed live all over Europe and the USA, with Billboard magazine making reference to them before Evanescence had even shot their first video. Yeah I know, but what I really meant was that Evanescence does it better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said this before, and I will say it again, I don't think LC and Evanescence are very similar. Both write short, metallic rock songs, both have female singers, but otherwise, to my ears I have never come close to mistaking one for the other, and I was an Evanescence fan first. The thought that LC sounded like Ev never came to my mind until I read reviews online. Before then, I was always taken by the oriental, eastern flavoured textures mixed with a European gothic metal vibe ala Paradise Lost or The Gathering, and occasionally acoustic flavoured Opeth. I also really don't think Cristina and Amy have similar voices. Which Lacuna Coil album did you purchase, may I ask?

RushCanuck Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The debut ELP album was the best. I agree. Tarkus was a close second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grover Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Lots of bands have albums or songs that I would say are better than Rush, but I find that there are usually not a long string of great albums. Yes at their best I think surpassed Rush. I like most Yes albums but prefer 70-78.Genesis had some great 70s and early 80s albums. Losing Steve Jacket was a bigger loss to their sound than losing Peter Gabriel.Pink Floyd from 70-82.Kansas from 74-80 with lesser interest ongoing.I loved the ELP debut and bought most of their albums but have not gotten into them. Saw them live in 92. Feel like they were fantastic players but not quit accessible enough to me.Supertramp from 74-85.Styx were pretty good players and very good singers and they wrote great beginnings to songs, but I often get bored in the middle because the playing is just not that interesting or complex.I like a lot of Steely Dan songs and love the Aja album.I like a lot of The Police and Sting.Pat Metheny has some great albums.Enjoy Jean Luc Ponty from the 70s and early 80s.The Dave Matthews band impressed me with their musicianship and I have their first 5 albums but then wasn't interested in keeping following them.

Todem Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Rush is my number one. Always will be to my grave. But other bands in the arena with them are: Pink FloydLed ZeppelinPorcupine TreeThe Black Crowes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just gave Queen's 'Jazz' album a listen. Totally utterly brilliant. Queen in a funny way were very much like rush at times i think. 'More of that jazz' what a track, Brian's an animal on it. Closest rock guitarist i heard to Al, both geniuses w/bags of imagination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
