Radically different albums, I know, but they are the albums that I constantly find myself coming back to at the moment. Which is your favorite?

Minstrel in the Gallery for me, a fantastic Tull album that showed that they still had potential for newer and great stuff. Probably their heaviest from the 70s, though I'm surprised that Ian says in the liner notes that it's their most acoustic (or folk one) one.
 
OK Computer is great modern rock with a prog approach, though not really to my appeal. I prefer the more unique sounding Kid A.

Both 5-star albums, but Minstrel in the Gallery gets my vote.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I've always loved Minstrel, a curiously overlooked Tull gem IMO. I've never quite understood what all the fuss is about OK Computer, although I do have a soft spot for Kid A/Amnesiac.

Minstrel for me though I rank it in the second tier of Tull Meisterworks.

Minstrel.  What a shame is so underrated by some fans, too, as it contains some pretty great songs on it.

As much is I love Tull, and think Minstrel is quite a decent album, my vote goes for OK Computer - perhaps the best in Radiohead's catalogue.
Percussion, sir!

Wow, surprised to see the vote change dramatically in the opposite direction, overnight. Many closet Radiohead fans, eh? Only 5 of the voters out of 14 have disclosed their identity Wink

Minstrel in the Gallery all the way. A great Tull album that for some reason gets overlooked.

I was surprised to see this close poll results.
 
Also, I love many of these opinions. Clap

Interesting poll!

Minstrel is a great album. However, OK is a landmark album, so gets my vote.
