Let's get this ball rolling with the Police and Rush.......mmmmmmmmm
I love Rush.......I even have one of Geddy's picks from a show. I was thinking about it the other day and I realized I like a whole lot of three man bands. : ) Hence, thread inspiration.
I would have to argue the the Police have been more influential with more play than Rush ever received. Saw them two years ago in CA and that show kicked butt.
Rush is more unique than the Police.......hence, the Police are more influential and get more airplay on the radio. You can hear the Police in all sorts of bands.......very few sound like Rush because Rush is so unique.
It's not a matter of which I prefer, but just look at how many Singles the Police had and how far they went on the charts versus Rush who have always had a loving fan base with much less radio play.
Well we have two rock stations out here that are worth a darn. 96 plays classic rock and 98 plays all the new stuff mixed with some old. I listen to 98 mostly unless they put on chili peppers or Ironman. can't stand that song.
I must admit the Santa Clause version was pretty funny.
I guarantee that you don't hear The Police at all on them.
Have to disagree completely here. With distinct punk, reggea and jazz in the Police sound, almost all new wave bands and great number of alternative bands ive credit to the Police as having influenced their music.
Even Rush's first top five album, Permanent Waves, included raggae and new wave which was on the heels of the Police.
