he didn't mean that, just that Rush got more votes so far. 

No sh%$ Sherlock!

Not cool. Pump the brakes.

Yes, polls are subjective. So is the statement, "Even a fair to middling Yes album beats anything Rush can muster".

I like both, but give the edge to Drama, as more satisfying and better able to stand up to the test of time and repeated listenings. You also listen to the blend of five people, rather than three.

I do like Drama, but not nearly enough as PW. Not a big fan of Trevor Horn's vocals, the music is very good......Jacob's Laddder and Natural Science are the icing on the record..

Permanent Waves. Although Rush were rather hit and miss in the 80s, this and Moving Pictures got the decade off to a flying start.

I didn't really get Drama at the time, and I don't think that it has aged well.

As much as I love Drama (which is in my top 5 Yes albums), I still have to go with Permanent Waves. Definitely my favorite Rush record, as it combined their cerebral 70s material and their more introspective 80s material perfectly

Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

PW is probably a more consistent & cohesive collection of tracks, but I feel Drama has more power and character.   The big Y was a band fractured and wayward, but the three masters, as always, remained intact.

Yeah, I dunno.   Voted Drama 'cause it's behind.
