I assume you mean TAAB side 1......?
Both for me.....that's  not my favorite Tull or Yes piece....but if forced to choose to listen to one over and over I'd pick Yes.

The lyrics alone make TAAB better than And You and I. Repeating "And You and I" 83 times over the space of 10 minutes does not endear it to me like TAAB does.

I was exaggerating. A little. However, I seem to remember the word "Glad" comes up 124 times in Cream's "I'm So Glad". And yes, one did strange things back in the day on hallucinogenics.

Don't really see how the two are comparable, really. And one is its band's colossal statement and triumph!

Too close to choose. Specially if I consider the Bursting Out version of Thick as a Brick. They are both just sublime.
