Lorraine Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well? If you had to choose between the two, which would it be for you? Apologies if this has been done before. I did not do a search to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflex Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Rush by miles and miles. I have great respect for the beatles, but do not care for them much myself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I pick Rush because I don't get sick of them as often This. No doubting the greatness of The Beatles, who I think might just be the greatest band of all time, but Rush...I enjoy them on a far more regular basis.

JohnRogers Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Music taste is very subjective. I'll admit that the Beatles are more influential but I enjoy RUSH music much-much more. I own no Beatles music, I will scan the radio for something else often when Beatles music is playing. Not so with RUSH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Rush Beatles are good but there are better bands of that era. The Who,Floyd and even The Doors>>>>>Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Rush Beatles are good but there are better bands of that era.

ReRushed Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Too many believe the Beatles weren't much more than just a pop band. Some still refer to them as a boy band. That reveals a lot... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthLen Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I can always listen to the Beatles and find myself singing along happily; just not quite so much with Rush. A few too many clunkers (Rush) vs. almost everything being great (Beatles). The Beatles helped change the world of music. Rush definitely has far reaching influence, but without the Beatles influence in music, I don't think there are a lot of bands that influenced Rush. so in the end.... Beatles > Rush (to me). Music is subjective (it's creative art), so there are no wrong answers here. If I had to list my fave bands in order, it would start off with Beatles and Rush in the #1 & 2 positions... closely followed by Pink Floyd, Metallica, U2, Jimi Hendrix, Ministry, Acoustic Alchemy... Fave of the day always depends on my mood... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Rush. They've been my favorite band for over 20 years and that's not changing anytime soon. While I respect The Beatles, the huge influence they had and do really enjoy some of their stuff, they're barely a blip on my musical radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Seriously, for me the one thing the Beatles have over every other band I love is the ability of the music to take me back to my childhood. I loved them since I was five years old. Spinning those albums and holding the covers in my hand, it took me to a better place. I don't have that type of relationship or memories with other bands. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the very first Beatles' song you ever heard? You are much younger than me, so it couldn't have been Love Me Do or I Wanna Hold Your Hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Oh I came here just in time to see this one! I had to go with the Beatles, I echo ReRushed completely. I have wonderful memories of Christmas morning getting my new Beatle album and sitting next to the stereo and playing it while reading the liner notes. I do listen to Rush much more often nowadays but the Beatles will always be my first love in music :kisshug: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The Beatles man.........and i am not just saying it. looking at it objectivly. The Beatles had a career i enjoy pretty much straight through. Rush is/was far more patchy. of Course Rush has a bigger Disography......more chances to be patchy. but still. Beatles.
