Poll question: What's WORSE...Rush or bands that SOUND LIKE Rush?

Tiles used to be a pretty cool band, but on the new album, they threw it all away to crank out a Rush album (including guest appearances by Alex Lifeson on guitar).

1. Ruh Roh

2. I'll say Rush just because Coheed and Cambria share a similarity (mainly in the vocals) to Rush ...

But I love them neverteheless.

I don't know Tiles though, so they might be bad too.

3. Tiles was a generic Yes/Genesis/King Crimson second-generation prog band...

...a guilty pleasure for me because they were loud and featured a lot of guitar solos, but on the new album, SOMEONE sat down and said "Let's be Rush"...

...and I feel like Rush already DID that so Tiles wouldn't HAVE to, ya know...

:rofl:

4. Rush

Never cared for them.

5. I used to listen to Rush alot

But now I can't stand to listen to him. Oh, you meant the band Rush. Nevermind.

6. Probably has to be other

Obviously it's not Rush, as they are the greatest band ever. And I can't fault bands that try to sound like Rush, because they are imitating the height of musical quality.

A related bit of trivia: the subtitle of Triumph's Greatest Hits album "Classics"



was "No, we're not Rush!"

7. There are certain songs where Rush is effectively no better than a Rush clone

But when they're firing on all cylinders they're solidly good. Clones can't match them.

8. Hubby's a Rush freak.

I never knew who did Tom Sawyer (dumb tune) till recently.

Some Rush doesn't blow...
