A couple of good ones from 1980 to choose from.

That's a tough one. If forced at gunpoint I'd probably go for PW.

Yes, it can be a bit of a Drama riding those Permanent Waves in a Rush of adrenaline.

Permanent Waves is obviously the better album in my book.

Drama's a great album but it's no better than #6 or 7 in the Yes discography. Vote for Permanent Waves.

No vote for me. Permanent waves is my first or second favorite Rush album but Drama is also very strong. Plus I'm a bit of a Yes fanboy and have a hard time voting against them.

Drama is indeed excellent but easy vote for PW.

It used to be safe to ridicule Drama. Its reappraisal has literally been dramatic.

Easy.. Permanent Waves.
I'm (relatively, for what I think I've seen on this site) big on Rush.. (and in fact, the fact that this poll is in a tie at the time of this post sort of confirms it for me) and for me 'Permanent' is absolute (my) (Rush) 'canon' (I mean: a 70's album, equally good as the others from that period etc.) Drama for me is interesting, have many good and notable things (hence my nick & avatar), but... 'Permanent' on this one. I'm definitely a 70's, guitar oriented rock guy. Oh my...! just checked they're both from 1980! Good one Argo2112 ![]() Well this makes me draw two conclusions: 1) how evolutionized Drama is for its release date, and 2) that I now value PW even more for maintaining that 70's power and progressive rock sound that I love so much through to the 80's. ![]() Edited by Machinemessiah - October 24 2019 at 21:12 |

Another tough poll. Both are probably around about my 5th favourite albums by either band . Both represented a major re-invention of the bands approach and sound. Rush stuck but Yes didn't. I voted Rush because Jacobs Ladder just beats Machine Messiah in the battle of the mini epics.

Drama all the way.
Chris Squire's arguably most shining, up-front bass production performance EVER. Does It Really Happen?

Permanent Waves by a long shot.
It's the best Rush album in my book.

Pretty tough choice, but I'll go with Rush.
PW was a breakthrough album and a change of direction. Drama was a 'controversial' album by a band in decline, but still damn good. It really was a tough choice. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
