Almost impossible choice between Cryme and Album, but today my spirit feels closer to TYA

The Yes Album, ahead of Nursery Cryme, followed by the Camel debut.
 
Nursery Cryme has some great tracks and "The Musical Box" is one of my Genesis favourites, but The Yes Album has got "Starship Trooper", which is one of my all time favourites, so it has to be The Yes Album.

Just that I'm a bigger fan of Yes and Genesis but the two choices available are not my favourites by them . Camel's first 4 albums are as good as any bands first four albums to be fair but then I lose interest. I do have Rajaz but never quite got the love for that one. Rain Dances also not quite at the same level as the first four imo.

To my ears The Yes Album is a masterpiece, Nursery Cryme has the brilliant Musical Box but otherwise falls short of Trespass while the Camel debut isn't a patch on Mirage.

I have never had any complaints about Nursery Cryme, but have had a couple about the Yes Album. For that, and that alone, I voted for Genesis.

Interesting choice - Nursery Cryme is my third favourite Genesis album whilst The Yes Album is possibly my favourite Yes release (although CTTE occasionally swaps places with it).... so I must vote Yes on this occasion. Camel's glory days were to come.
