it's not even a compition, ZZ-top doesnt have ANYTHING against Rush.

Rush is one of the top ten most talented groups of musicians to ever play together in one group. I could only name a few bands that could match the amount of talent that rush brings to the table (Yes, ELP, DT, bela felck and the flecktones, dixie dregs, mahavishnu orchestra)

ZZ-top is decent at the most. they some pretty good guitar work, but even that, they dont match ANY of the levels that Rush is on

Hey... is it my fault that I knew upfront that this was going to be a tie after the last score count?! =/

LOL I just knew you were going to be rushing to the thread to state your vote for Rush, when I told you they were battling ZZ-Top right now! ;)

So, people... TADAA! And it's a tie! I can't believe we have ourselves ANOTHER tie so close after the last ones in the previous battle...
And I wonder what the eventual outcome of this battle will be, because both bands seem to be equal in popularity and thus run side by side! Anyway, here's the tied vote count :
___________________________________

K.O. round # H :

5- Rush
5 - ZZ Top

___________________________________

Now... let's see if one of these great bands has the power and the means (read: votes!) to pull away and make a decent enough gap to claim the win in this battle! Because I would hate to end this battle at a point where one of them has one more vote over the other at the end of the running time...

So help me out here people! Decide who's to win and state your reasoned votes!! VOTE!!!

ZZ Top for me. I don't care for the lead singer of Rush's voice all that much, so it makes it hard to listen to any of their songs and enjoy them.

ZZ Top
I watched all of the videos for both of the bands and the only ones I liked were The Spirit of Radio and T.V. Dinner. Out of the two I enjoyed listening to T.V. Dinner more.
I probably should elaborate but I don't know what else to say

Legs.
Er, I meant ZZ Top. Yeah...
Rushs music is enjoyable, they've got good instrumentalists and the singer has a nice voice, a better trained voice than ZZs one I'd say. But the music of ZZ Top, although it is repetitive, or probably even because of it, is more intoxicating, it has style and is more Rock'n'Roll. Rush has this little feel-good-music side that I'm not in the mood for right now.

I think I agree with you that Rush is more talented.. but if they had soooo much talent as you say they have, how can a band like ZZ Top still sound as nice and have their distinctive sound, while Rush sounds more like a mix of The Eagles and The Police?

I'm not a big Rush fan and ZZ Top has funny songs, so I vote ZZ Top.

I think ZZ Top is great when it comes to writing funny song lyrics. Rush's lyrics are fine but they aren't funny like those of ZZ Top's. So I vote ZZ Top.
