TAAB has the edge for sure
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

TAAB. Clever cover, sly lyrics and more diverse composition musically, even though "And You and I" was the best song Yes ever made.

Close To The Edge by quite a way. Both are obviously masterpieces though

I've grown a bit tired of TaaB (although it's been a while since I played it now), while CttE (or any other Yes album, for that matter) I've never been a huge fan of, so no vote.

Perhaps I should revisit both soon?

I like both, but both are rather flawed. I don't consider either a masterpiece and would rate them both 4*.

TAAB is more consistently good - there are no bad bits and the lyrics are very clever. The track CTTE is phenomenal but side 2 doesn't match it.

So I like them both pretty equally.

Close To The Edge by a million miles. I never have cared much for Jethro Tull and simply can't acquire the taste for their music.

I really like TAAB, but CTTE is more consistent (nearly perfect) so I get more enjoyment all the way through. TAAB is definitely more musically interesting at many points, but CTTE is super enjoyable at every minute.
