Topic: Countdown to Ecstasy Vs A Passion Play Posted: February 15 2012 at 22:54
Well, the last poll in this serie "Steely Dan Vs Big Four"
Both masterpieces were released in July 1973.
I voted for Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy.

Tull-skull here casting the first vote.

Ah, much closer than the Aja poll but still giving it barely to CTE. Just love Boston Rag, also My Old School and King of the World.

APP by a knockout in the opening round despite Mr Anderson's reservations.
APP is a top 10 album for me just sneaking past its more popular brother TAAB.
So in this contest - no contest!

I'll big it up for the Dan this time. Much as I love Tull, I've never liked A Passion Play.

My favorite album by both bands. Would like to vote for both. Going with Passion Play instead because I love it just a wee bit more.

CTE by Steely Dan.I am not a big Tull fan.
I missed the Aja poll,that album is a masterpiece imo.
