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.

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.

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 almost got me there. 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.

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!
