ZZ Top vs Rush?
- Thread starter RichardDingledine33
- Start date
Went to a Rush tribute concert at the Pagent a couple of years ago....
I believe the name of the tribute band was "Thunderhead"....
For 2 1/2 hours, I sat through just about every Rush song that your
average KSHE fan would know, patiently waiting to hear Working Man....
After dealing with their 45 minute, show closing version of "2112"...
the house lights came on and the concert was over..No Working Man....
I walked out of there feeling cheated...
For that reason I pick ZZ Top.

Two completely different animals. Texas based blues vs Canadian Alt-Rock Not that big of a Rush fan, but I loves me some ZZ TOP !!
Can't count how many times I have saw ZZ-Top at Sturgis those old men still rock . Nothing like having 50 Harleys doing burn outs in front of the stage between songs
Are you guys kidding... Rush over ZZ Top?? Let me guess you would take Styx over Skynyrd too.
If the OP needs pointers on how to start a poll, just let me know. These questions are too important to leave hanging without calculated resolution.
If Rush wins this one, there is no hope for America. ZZ Top hands down.
Rush is like pulling up to a party in a 1970 bio diesel burning euro car. ZZ Top is rolling up in a '69 Olds 442(or a chopped Merc).
Get out here with that BS.

HAVE MERCY! This one is not close. Put on some cheap Sun glasses and listen to the first side Tres Hombres and this argument will be over.
It's easy. You're 22 years old have your 8 track ready to go at a party. Do you crank Tom Sawyer or Lagrange.......come on man!
This isn't a serious discussion.

Witness your vote doesn't count because Thunderhead is not in question. Go see the real deal. I have seen Rush probably 7 or 8 times and ZZ 3. Two different types of music, but would have to go with Rush. Seen Thunderhead once and there really is no comparison. I think we need to get a music forum on here.
There just isn't much we agree on Kenny, but I still like you.
Geddy will hold his own with any bassist and is a great front man. Lyrics are unbelievable on many of their songs.
Both in the rock and roll HOF. 2 different genres. ZZ is Texas boogie and blues and Rush is progressive rock and are at the top of their Genres
Rush and Top are definitely different. Rush vs. Yes or ELO Genisis . Top similar to Thorogood, Hatchet, Stevie Ray.
I saw Rush and Nugent when I was 15. Rush is tired. Top is old, but still relevant. Tom Sawyer is over rated. One hit wonder. ZZ much more depth.
Just my opinion, Styx is on the level with tired Rush and aligns its sound with Rush. I would rather listen to Emerson Lake and Palmer then either.

Yeah but the few things we agree on are the important ones.
And like they have done for me with other bands, KSHE killed Rush.
Who needs Tom Sawyer when you can crank YYZ?
And I'll settle this debate. Neither! Tool for the win! Which is why I'm going to see them next month haha

Calling Rush tired is incorrect. They have and are still cranking out new music. Can ZZ say the same. Seems like ZZ might be the tired group.
Rush. ZZ Top sold out after the Deguello lp. One of Rush's best lp's was their last one, Clockwork Angels, which shows that after 40 years, they are still creative.
Jaron, Kareem, and Brandon would take them easily. Haf-court, full court, or even horse. Add Jaon's son to the team and ZZ would get skunked!
