Between Triumph and Rush Canada has proven it only takes three of them to rock your face off!

Uhm... I know that Triumph is sometimes compared to Rush because both are trios and both are rock bands, but actually comparing Triumph to Rush is sad and wrong and makes me cri cri cri.

Rush rocks, Triumph sucks. "Lay It on the Line" sucks. Triumph sucks. What else? Let's see.... yeah, that's it.

I'm not a huge fan of Triumph, but I dig that song as well as "Fight the Good Fight."

Indeed, Rush are Canadian rock gods, but no love for Rik and the boys? For shame, my good man.

/Rik is one of the greatest RnR guitarists alive today.

Triumph was cool and always did a great show. Would like to see them now since they're playing again.

They don't compare to Rush though, and I'm sure they have always heard that.

You guys have:

Neil Young, Arcade Fire, The farkING Band, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Rufus Wainwright, ...

just to name a few off the top of my head ...

and you spend all your time jacking off about Rush and Triumph? I'll never understand you Canucks.

Rik can play, no doubt, but Triumph just never figured out where to draw the line between being entertaining and being cheesy. Look no further than how he chose to spell his name (his mama didn't do that to him, and he isn't black).
