Quoted from BudManPinFan:I’ll go along with the first three, but in their prime no way was Geddy Lee the better vocalist. Of course listening to songs off of each of their last tours they both sound horrible these days.
I like both but like 1 better
2112 and all the worlds a stage are 2 of the best albums ever.If you really havent heard of Rush youtube either of those albums you may enjoy them.Nothing bad to say about Crue I might buy 1 if available used.Like Maiden I went in because the game play was so good and discovered I like their music more than I thought.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Black Sabbath first, and Motörhead I know which will never happen. But Rush or Crue, ok if both our done I guess since it’s rock.
Who ? Ive bloody never heard of them.But I will take the Black Sabbath CE
Quoted from beelzeboob:Yeah, but most Crue fans don't make enough money to buy a pinball machine. They're too busy eating corndogs at state fairs while they follow the Crue and Def Leppard around the country. Rush fans all went into nerdy IT jobs and are loaded...especially since there are no concert tickets to spend money on anymore.
I knew a nice couple who when we invited them to go out to a nice place would show up with a new set of Crue tshirts.Full disclosure they told me about a great new band and their album was titled Back in Black.Doh
Quoted from Rarehero:Why do you assume I don’t listen to Queen? Queen is great. How are you qualified to judge what’s “better” if you’ve never heard Rush?
It’s possible to listen to & enjoy lots of bands. Lol
Exactly how do you know if you never heard the music.They usually dont play Rush on the same station you hear olivia newton john.
Quoted from Rarehero:Oh, I thought you were the guy who said he’d never heard of them and wouldn’t Google them.
I was only able to see Rush live 4 times and they are some of the best shows i have ever seen.And working for Bill Graham Presents I have seen a bunch of shows including Crue and they were pretty good too.
Quoted from Honch:You're right. I thought worldwide record sales would have favored Rush, but it's not close. Rush is sitting at 40 Million WW and the Crue has sold 100 Million.
Yes but those 100 million were all bought for a penny from Columbia house.
Quoted from NC_Pin:I would have loved playing a Rush pin in the 90's. I just don't think that type of art rock is relevant anymore. My daughter plays travel softball, so we spend almost every weekend at either a softball or baseball tournament. It is pretty common to hear AD/DC as a walk-up song, and you'll hear plenty of GnR and Metallica too... but I have never heard one of these kids play anything by Rush when they walk up to the plate. That is anecdotal, and I am not saying that pins should be based on what kids use as walk-up songs, but the demographic is pretty narrow. However, I also thought that Iron Maiden was a pretty odd choice too...
I also would have thought why Maiden before others,then I played 1 then I bought the 1st maiden I could get my hands on.I will wait and see on these titles.If good in person im in.

Quoted from rotordave:Why don’t you guys have Cold Chisel?
The Angels?
Shihad?
That stuff just never got pushed hard in the States …. Same as how Rush or Triumph or Montrose or Blue Oyster Cult were never pushed down here.
All just comes down to some dude decisions who worked in a record company at the time. So much politics and backhanders in the music industry - and also “right place at the right time” comes into it as well.rd
Wow those are some great Bands.You may hear blue oyster cult on Godzilla
