You all win.

I was jamming to this today:

and these yesterday:

Psychic Warfare really impressed me because of the variety. The only way I would know it was a Clutch album otherwise is from Fallon's vox. The self-titled is pretty groovy too.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Surely you don't think they're better than CoC though? I'd agree, but I thought you were a pretty heavy fanboi? Either way glad your head is out of your ass.

I actually came here to say I've been digging on Rush a lot more lately. Netflix has a great documentary about them right now and it made me give them another chance. Dudes hardly partied, that's so respectable to me. And lends itself to precise intricacy of musicianship.

The vocals had to grow on me for sure but once they did.... excellent band, worthy of the praise.

No, I'm a huge CoC fan boy for sure.

As for Rush, they are the greatest and most prolific rock band of all time imo. Their 80s material is very underrated.

Rediscovered this band recently

[CiG]

If he's wrong he's certainly not far off.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

They have too many flaws (convoluted, unoriginal songwriting, uncharismatic vocals, etc.) to be anywhere near the best band ever. Even in the category of prog, they don't touch the likes of Floyd, Crimson and Genesis.

 

[CiG]

They destroy Pink Floyd, I know that for sure. Genesis are too inconsistent to even compare with Rush.

King Crimson are the only competition there.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Oh, you're one of those "consistency" folks. Might as well call Motorhead the best band ever, then

 

[CiG]

They have too many flaws (convoluted, unoriginal songwriting, uncharismatic vocals, etc.)

How is this not a judgement on consistency?

But yes, if we're comparing bands then consistency needs to be considered. I'm actually not a consistency guy, as I prefer Iron Maiden to Judas Priest for example.

 

[The Ozzman]

There is no prog rock band better, more consistent or more prolific than Rush. No other band has had their members stick around for that long and no other prog rock band has remained relevant for that long. Your argument sucks, Grant

 

[zabu of nΩd]

No, your argument sucks because all those things apply to Motorhead, and Motorhead's way more consistent. You're just giving arbitrary preference to prog.

 

[The Ozzman]

No, your argument sucks because all those things apply to Motorhead, and Motorhead's way more consistent. You're just giving arbitrary preference to prog.

Lemmy is the only consistent member of Motorhead and Lemmy is also dead which means Motorhead no longer exists unlike Rush.

Motorhead isn't prog and you're bringing the band into this conversation for no reason.

Shut the fuck up.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

No you shut the fuck up. If being old but not dead yet is what makes an artist great, then the greatest artist ever is clearly Fats Domino.

Also Mark E. Smith has released about 100 albums, so he's way better than Rush.

How many platinum albums did Mark E Smith have? How many gold albums? How many documentaries? How many fans who still sell out arenas?

Again, shut your fucking mouth Grant

 

[zabu of nΩd]

U butthurt cause I'm right?

Elvis Presley has 90 gold albums, and 52 platinums. How many does Rush have?

 

[The Ozzman]

Elvis had that many albums? He also came before Rush. Doesn't detract from my point. I'm pretty sure you're the butthurt one because you're trying to diminish Rush in every possible way

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Doesn't detract from my point.

It does when your point was literally this:

How many platinum albums did Mark E Smith have? How many gold albums?

You had no idea how many albums Elvis had. Think of the unfathomable greatness and consistency you've been missing out on.
