i think both geddy lee and john myung are extremely talented, but tbh, geddys voice gives me a headache at times haha.
have to go with dream theater on this one.

I think even Dream Theater would agree that Rush is better.
so, how about you start a RUSH or YES poll thread?

I'm a very big fan of both bands.....have never seen Rush live, but I have seen DT live 3 times. I'm going to have to go with DT on this. Their songs are more advanced, both musically and by technique. I'm not just talking about the bass playing.
agreed. They just dont have that pulse that everyone expects music to have (that thing that lets you participate, which everyone for some reason calls soul...)
Either way DT is more fun to Listen to, not to participate to.
Good thing you're in the VAST majori..... nevermind.
Seriously, you felt the need to come into a thread like this and inject your vitriol where it wasn't requested? Seriously. Go away.

lol, well said
I like DT, but I have no hesitation in giving the nod to Rush. With Rush I can sit through the whole album, whereas I struggle to do this with DT.
Plus, it's hard to argue against a band with 19 studio albums.

I think they are approximate iterations of each other separated by a few generations. Technically both are excellent. Lyrically they both have some out of the box content. And, to me, they both have seriously irritating singers 
I love both bands but they grate after a while. I just caught Rush at Red Rock this summer .. I can't think of a better place to see them .. it was transcendent.
For length of time alone Rush gets my nod but really it's 1. 1a.

you just named my two favorite bands of all time
I also own Geddy's and one of John's signature basses
I refuse to vote
I would LOVE Dream Theater if their singer would shut up. "Dark Eternal Night"? I have never met anyone who was like, "Oh, the vocals on this track are sweet." They're always like, "This song is sick until the singing starts then it blows some massive cock."
Also, Mike Portnoy does not use the double kick NEARLY as much as a metal band should.
Since I am not a metal man, I vote for Rush. The bassline on Fly By Night inspired me to play bass. I'm not sure why. I also like Geddy's voice.
