Rush, I have never really been into Van Halen. Also, Rush is Canadian, 'nuff said.

RUSH! The Rush concert in Irvine was the height of my summer this year. They even had a little I Love You man skit complete with Jason Segel and Paul Rudd at the end.

Rush, the band as a whole is very solid, with one of the best drummers of all time, an excellent bassist and a very underrated guitarist. Their only weak spot is vocals, but that's easy to look over if the song's YYZ.

I don't really care for either, but I'll go with Van Halen. The thing is: I might actually like Rush if it wasn't for their corny vocals.

Their lyrics are rather corny as well, but so are much of Van Halen's, so I won't hold that against them.

Rush by far. I like VH, but Rush has more songs that I love.

Van Halen if they're with Roth. Otherwise, I'd probably say Rush.

I've heard both, don't really like either, but I suppose I'll go with Rush because

1. Everyone's picking them

2. There songs are a bit better.

3. They were much less sexualized and didn't ride on looks to get them through as much as Van Halen did.

Rush. I find Van Halen too arena rock-y/cheesy.

I like both, but Eddie Van Halen is best on lead guitar.

Van Halen is amazing, but somehow Rush is even better.

They're both hard rock bands, though. I already know that Rush is hard rock mixed with progressive rock. And Van Halen has some catchy songs, but a better vocalist. Rush makes the better music, imo, though, and they sound pretty unique.

see rush has lyrics about trees talking to each other and how different sides of your brain work, it's stupid.

Anyone who gets the reference gets +10 internet cookies.

In all seriousness though, Rush is way better...and Canadian!

Trailer Park Boys if I'm not mistaken. And Rush easily gets my vote.
