Yeah, something like that.
 
Thick as a Brick (part 1) is the best song out of all the songs that are in those albums, however as an entire album Thick as a Brick has the okay-ish Part 2 which drags down the album.
 
Still, I vote for TAAB.
 
All classics though, of course.

I love Pink Floyd but I don't think Wish You Were Here is really that good of a album, so I'll go with By The Pound

Three way tie.  I guess that means I really am selling a brick close to England rather than merely wishing I were.

Ofcourse I love them all, but my favourite is Wish you Were Here, closely followed by Close to the Edge. Then it is Selling England by the Pound (The Battle of Epping Forest makes it lose too many points for me), and I don't know Thick as a Brick so well, so it might just as well give a strong competition to Selling England once I buy it.
I wish this poll would have included In the Court of the Crimson King too.

I meant in my opinion, I can't choose between them. I would probably go JT, but it's a toughy.
