TAAB would be great if 20 minutes length. To me is full of fillers. CTTE is completely consistent. No one can call "And You And I" filler. The best Tull album for me is Aqualung

Close to the Edge is not my favorite Yes album, but it's a good one. TAAB is just decent (imo).

Hi. Hmm..."Fillers" again. Honestly this "Filler" made me to note (zoom) to long tracks with this point of view again and its change my opinion about some of them (long track or epic or ...). I think "Filler" theory! "CAN" be a good measure for analysis some tracks or songs or ...but its not work for everything!! Sometimes one song or Album may have powerful musical structure or another perfect musical elements without using "perfect fillers" or perfect using of "Fillers"!! I mean there are more important measures to analysis and review music than "Filler" but in many case you can't ignore that. "When" and "Where" are 2 good words for ranking "Filler" value in one good analysis(IMO). I really hope you understand me. Thanks.

Thick as a Brick has always been my preference between the two. Close to the Edge is definitely an essential. I just think Brick is better throughout. CttE's b-side isn't the thrill the a-side is. "And You and I" is a great track. It's "Siberian" that I have some minor issues with. I feel like a tougher choice for me would be the epics (songs) vs. each other. "Thick as a Brick (part 1)" vs. "Thick as a Brick (part 2)" vs. "Close to the Edge (part 3-er, uh, wait..)".
But the albums alone: Thick as a Brick. Not a hard choice for me.

CTTE gets a bit sleepy in parts. The middle of the title song and And you and I drag on

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.

Moshkito wouldn't so easily let something change his opinion, I believe. Nor do I think the would begin a post with an expression like "mmm"... and you missed an opinion about something related to expressing some songs as filler is just sad. Perhaps he would have said that the artist surely doesn't write material thinking to make it filler, and that it's just sad that we can't apreciate and understand what they were trying to say, etc.

In my opinion, Ian Anderson is a far better composer of songs than composer of long epics - in which Yes have no real competitor.
