This as the potential of having members pulling out there hair. So will it be Yes, Floyd or Genesis. Let the concept begin

Tales is the odd one out here for a lot of reasons, not least of which the fact that its concept is just about impenetrable. The Lamb at least makes an attempt at explaining itself, and The Wall is surprisingly easy to follow (and all the more effective for it).

For me it's gotta be The Lamb, probably because The Wall is so intensely pessimistic and because Tales is a very deep sea of Yessounds that doesn't coalesce into a bigger picture before I start drowning. Plus Genesis is my favorite of the three so I'm biased.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Easily the Lamb. Absolutely amazing album.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Wall > Lamb > Tales
for me the wall and lamb are probably the two best albums of all time, not much that separates them. i dont know what to feel about this poll, i like that people are voting for lamb but on the other hand the wall is barely getting any votes. suddenly its really cool to hate the mainstream albums, everyones so desperate to have an unpopular opinionErmm

My two favs put out 2 amazing albums---so equally BUT I have been enjoying the timeless genius of The Lamb lately. Maybe watching too many videos of Peter expressing how much he still loves it.

They all have their strengths and weaknesses and so I can't vote for one over the other so no vote.

What desperate!? I genuinely enjoy 'The Lamb lies down on Broadway' over The Wall. End of.
Just because you and a lot of people prefer The Wall, doesn't mean I have to as well just because it's popular and I might look pretentious.

It's just a preference mate, people have them, and we're not all trying to be contrarian, believe it or not.

The three have a very different mood from each other, so it's hard to pick one for sure. I voted for The Lamb, simply because it's the one I listen to more often, but I like Tales and The Wall almost quite the same.

For me, The Wall, easily, even though it's rather disappointing compared to Floy's previous albums. Both for the music and the concept. I never warmed up much for The Lamb, except for a few songs... and I do find it disappointing too compared to the previous Genesis albums. Yet, my favourite song out of these 3 albums might just as well be The Revealing Science of God.
