That said, since this started as just for fun idea, one shouldn't expect profundity from such a topic. Most any good topic and poll, at least for me, forces one to not just compare but think, and can be revelatory, some are much better at creating those than others. The best poll topics for me are those where I discover or re-discover something new, or it causes me to re-think things and maybe see things in a new light. It's always really nice when I do a poll and people say 'both', or have something positive to say about both choices. While I don't treat my polls as contests - I am more interested in the comments, and hopefully exposing people to something they didn't know before which they might dig - and I knew Rush would get more votes as it is one of the most popular bands at the site, it ended up being a little too-lopsided.

While I thought of 'Rush to the Can' before deciding on how I'd choose the tracks, I do find these satisfyingly musically comparable in a certain bluesy, jammy way, and certain rhythmic intensities (to me the Can is mostly about the groove, whereas the Rush has more 'parts' to it and is less 'tribal').

A funny title, or so I had hoped (I'm rather style over substance and I do think most at PA have rather more sophisticated senses of humour than I do, which isn't saying much, I like potty humour), which was inspired by your Can Openers comment.
