Come ooon... Not again these albums. LOL
I love both equally, of course (and this is what I chose), but haven't we overpolled them already?

Neither are in my favourites, but DSOTM beats CTTE easily.  In fact I prefer all the PF albums that I own over CTTE.....

I'm not a big fan of CTTENuke

'Close to the edge' is the winner, I still prefer "Tales from topographic oceans" but CTTE is almost equaly brilliant and beats Dark side for me (which I like quite a lot). But to even consider PF against Yes You would have to put Ummagumma - than I would choose both equaly.

Definitely Close to the Edge. If the Pink Floyd choice was Wish You Were Here, then this would be a lot more difficult
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Both great albums, needless to say.  Gave the nod to DSOTM as there is something uncanny and bitter about it that appeals to me whereas I don't quite know what the tracks on CTTE are really about, as gorgeous as they are.

It's fantastic, but not the best.


And the best Yes album in your opinion would be.........?

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I can't separate them but neither could I call them equal so it's undecided for me.
