For me, my favourite is Myths and Legends, closely followed by 6 Wives. If it had been any of those against Voyage, I would certainly have voted for Wakeman (or at least Myths and Legends very easily, and 6 Wives would have given me a harder time choosing). Still, if it had been against any of those Wakeman albums, surely Voyage would have won without doubt the poll.

Voyage for me, easily. Just Shadow of the Hierophant is enough to make me vote for it, but then I do enjoy the rest of the album more, too.

Two albums that I love dearly. I'll go with Voyage, but Fish is just as good, it's mainly the personal memories I have that make me vote for Voyage.

FOWW is winning so far which kind of surprises me but then again I don't think any tv shows had any songs from Voyage of the Acolyte playing in them.

Nonsense! Nobody is forced to vote anyway; if you can't decide and there is no "both" option then just don't vote! 

(Obviously do your polls however you want, but the real polling fun is not in sitting on the fence! Big smile) 

PS: I voted Hackett, although there's a good handful of his albums that I like more than Acolyte. As much as I love Squire as bassist, I couldn't get into the Fish.

Maybe not forced(in the strictest sense) but the fact is they are prevented from voting if there is no both option.

Both albums are essential. Both albums should be in everyone's collection, even if you're not a Yes or Genesis fan. They're two of the best prog rock albums ever recorded.

I should vote "equally" but I am going to throw a vote to FOoW to honor Chris and because it does resonate with me on a slighter greater level. It deserves the highest rating possible.

Voyage is tremendous. I honestly like it more than nearly everything Genesis recorded as a band (sorry). The opener "Ace of Wands" still blows me away.

This was the first time I realized that Chris could actually sing lead.  I voted for Fish over Acolyte, even though Hackett's debut is a very strong piece.  I still listen to both quite often.

Both are great, but Fish takes the bait.

Really tough choice, but I have to go with VOTA as one of the greatest albums ever.

And yes (no pun intended), Squackett was disappointing.
