Interesting idea I had, in each case I greatly prefer one album over the other. Gonna sit on this one for a bit before I vote.

I just bought the two Van Der Graaf Generator albums in the poll last week, although I haven't listened to them yet. I always listen to my albums in alphabetical order by genre, and I'm still on "A" for Argent at the moment. Smile

Trick of the Tail = 4* / Wind & Wuthering = 4*
 
Starless & Bible Black = 4* / Red = 5*
 
The Yes Album = 5* / Fragile = 5*
 
Least We Can Do Is Wave = 4* / H to He = 4*
 
That's my assessment, so my vote goes to Yes on this one.
Songs cast a light on you

Ok, I know how i'll decided my vote

1: Red (8)
2: Trick (7)
3: H to He (6)
4: The Yes Album (5)
5: Least We Can Do is Wave(4)
6: Wind and Wuthering (3)
7: Starless and Bible Black (2)
8: Fragile (1)

King Crimson: 8 points

Since Trick is my favorite between the Four Genesis and VDGG i'm going with Genesis

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!!  
Genesis is a veeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy distant second. 

Between Yes and Genesis, I would add:  

Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream / To Our Children's Children (1969)
Kansas - Song For America / Masque (1975)
Rush - Fly By Night / Caress of Steel (1975)

I considered the later two, but figured they wouldn't stand a chance. If it were Kansas S/t and Song for America I might be scratching my head myself as those are both very strong releases!

The Yes Album/Fragile - Yes.

Trick and W&W---still listen to them all the time--still listen to Fragile and in awe of its originality and genius but don't listen to The Yes Album as great as it is prefer live versions of the great songs on it---sooooooo Genesis .
