Drama for me, one of my favourite Yes albums. It sounds great and all the players are in top form throughout. Duke sounds very tinny to my ears and is not one of my fave Genesis albums.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Duke is the last truly great album from Genesis which all began with Trespass and dipped a little with ATTWT, while Drama continues the decline of Yes which started with Tormato.

Drama is ........... OK. Duke is ............OK. I'd give both 2.5 stars, possibly 3 if I was in a good mood.
I really can't summon up enough enthusiasm to vote for either, frankly.

I don't like much Drama, but I find Duke quite unlistenable

Good poll, I'm going to have to think about it. I got into prog shortly before those were made.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Drama is a great album in my book, while I´ve never been able to fully appreciated Duke.

Close call for me. Duke has more songs I love on it, so I went with that.
