Avalon by miles.
It's the best Roxy Music album - Take a chance with me is the highlight, but it's all very good (and that's from someome who's not a great fan of Bryan Ferry's voice).

Avalon for me; a production masterpiece IMO. I would've voted for Discipline if not for the dull and boring second side. I love the first side of the album.

Avalon is a superb sonic tapistry , very rich musically (if one takes the effort to sift through the layers of sound) .
I am a huge KC fan also but I just prefer the steamroller version with Wetton, Cross and Bruford. Discipline is a tad too clinical for my exotic/erotic tastes.
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'm a bigger fan of KC than Roxy Music, but I've never really been a big fan of Discipline. A few good tunes, but quite a cold and disjointed feel to it overall.
Avalon is a more 'pleasant' listen, so Roxy gets the vote here, I guess.

I'll give Avalon its due too. It doesn't aim very high, but it succeeds at everything it tries. Discipline is a lovely album too, but the closing title track just never did it for me. A sizable blemish on an otherwise pretty flawless album.

Let me be the first to vote for both. I like both of them about equally. Both are very enjoyable listens.
Let me be the second. I enjoy both for almost completely different reasons. When I want something intricate and choppy, there is Discipline, but for something melodic and lush, Avalon fits the bill perfectly.
