funeral is a wonderful album, but i would stay the hell away from audioslave. you can hear tom morello's hate for the band in the half-assed guitar. don't expect sufjan to blow your mind, he's still quite good but a bit overhyped. if you don't have any other tom waits, also get mule variations, swordfishtrombone, and rain dogs. similarly, also check out velvet undeground's "loaded", sounds a bit like a weirder nashville skyline-era dylan. oh, and if you're not that experienced with sonic youth, i've found all albums besides EVOL, sister, daydream nation, and rather ripped to be pretty useless. yeah, even goo and dirty.
otherwise...merry christmas.

I find Audioslave to be rather excellent.
Also, Sufjan already did blow my mind with Michigan. But hey. Thanks for the suggestions.

I prefer Michigan I think.Also, Sparta aren't that good.
Also, I have nearly all of those cds (for a logical reason).
What reason would that be, wanker (that's some British term by the way. I don't know what it means, but it is insulting. Useful. Also not censored.)?

Lol, you're kidding, right...?
Journey:
- 29th best selling music group of all time.
- A guitarist (Neal Schon) who played with Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, and B.B. King at age fourteen (later getting offers from both Clapton and Santana to join their respective bands).
- Steve Perry (who's got a better range, more power, more control, and more popularity as a singer).
- Inventors of the power ballad.
Hell, Journey was so big they had a freakin' Atari game made for them.
Rush:
- Neil Peart (the God of Drums)
- 30+ years as a band.
- Three members.
- Strong cult following.
I'll give Rush the all around props for having Neil, and being together for so long - as well as having all their original members. But, with the exception of Peart, Journey's members outclass Geddy and Alex. By a lot.

Havn't hurd there new album. I didn't like there old one but considering At the drive in was and still is one of my favorite bands I'll give sparta another shot to impress me.
Feel free to give suggestions of a good band for me to try out.

So what's the accolade? The fact that he merely played with great guitarists? Big deal, it doesn't mean Journey are better than Rush does it?

The first three are arguable and the last one means nothing. Britney Spears is more popular than Geddy Lee, what's your point?

A) They didn't invent the power ballad.
B) That's not something they should be thanked for.
C) This isn't proving they're better than Rush.

I'm waiting for you to prove Journey are better than Rush, a more talented band, not more successful and known.

Let's add more:
- Better bassist.
- More revered in the art of musicianship and contribution to music, important music, not shit music (Journey allegedly gave us the power ballad, Rush gave us 2112, Moving Pictures etc).

Hardly any bands have a bassist more technically skilled than Geddy Lee, let alone Journey. That's a fact.
This is about talent and who is the better band, so throw away all your popularity and sales records, also the video game BS. Rush are better musicians creatively (Opinion) and technically (Fact regarding Geddy and Neil). So in a thread about "Who is the most TALENTED band?", Journey shouldn't even be namedropped, much less contesting with Rush.
However, the very fact that you're arguing this point suggests that you're too stupid to see otherwise.

Well kinda thought Band/Artist...
Obviously due to the fact of the guys songwriting abilites. Ok some were with the legend John Lennon but songs like Live and Let Die, Hey Jude, Let it Be etc kinda justify his talent in my view...
