People usually seem to consider Plague as a compositional mess but I think its dramaturgically flawless. While hm Supper's Ready - well I love it but never really feel the urge to spin it anymore. I always found the first part more promising than the full epic delivers as well. VdGG for me. 
I think Plague is a compositional masterpiece but I still prefer Supper.

The first several times or so, Plague felt very jumbled and random. I came to find out it kind of was; they spliced several separate jams together at the suggestion of producer (just like with YES), but it WORKS.

Supper's Ready always felt, well, ready, to me LOL.

They're each masterpieces in their own way, and I'm glad to see so many great points being brought up about both!

Both very good I think. I'm one of the minority, while I like "Supper's Ready", I love "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (and I far prefer Pawn Hearts to Foxtrot overall).

Supper's Ready by far. I could never get in to A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.

I really like Plague, but come on...
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Supper's more euphonious than Plague but does it make it better?

Pas vraiment.

I'll go with Plague today.
