After two listens of Wilson and one listen to Hackett, I prefer Wilsons.

I think real classics and masterpieces can't be determined when they are released.  It's a judgement of time.  So after blowing 100 on the deluxe Wilson, I went out today to get a plug in Bleu Ray DVD unit partly just to listen to the Grace surround mix.  It's nice, but...

I ripped and combined each album with the bonus materials into two sprawling monster albums.  Take that you short attention spanners and proclaimers of fillerses. Tongue

I like both very much, but Hackett definitely needs more support

They're both great, but Grace for Drowning is just on an otherworldly level.

I love Hackett, but Grace for Drowning is brilliant.

I think this poll will run about 50-50. Perhaps Grace should recuse itself as it has both Steves on it. LOL
