This poll is inspired by mlkpad14's poll where the options were Tull , Yes and Crimso http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=110255 Some were surprised that Tull was ahead of Yes just for fun here are my top 10 YesTull albums 1. TaaB 2. Fragile 3. Aqualung 4. CttE 5. Yes Album those first 5 are stone cold masterpieces to me the next could actually go in any order Stand Up Benefit Minstrel in the Gallery Heavy Horses Songs from the Wood then probably Relayer ------------- Prog On! |

No. I can't vote. If it was a multiple choice poll I could have not voted my less favorites, but how can I choose between Aqualung and Close to the Edge? ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Tough choice, was between Stormwatch and Relayer for me. Went with Relayer but my vote is really interchangeable between those two. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |

Tull are the best band of the best era. If you don't like some of the album tracks then just go to some of the gems that missed out  ------------- 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. |

This is actually really interesting. Maybe too many choices, but it'll be interesting to see what people pick. I voted for Aqualung. :)

Stand Up and A Passion Play are tied for the first spot but I went for the former. Next is probably The Yes Album. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

TAAB, something popular for once. For second spot it's tied between CttE, Relayer, Heavy Horses and APP. Next GftO and Stormwatch. |

I sat on the fence when Thick as a Brick was up against Close to the Edge on an earlier poll and couldn't vote - probably leaning towards Thick as a Brick at present. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

oohhh.. hard to vote against Benefit.. toss up with Stand Up for best album Tull ever made. But it does have without a doubt in mind the best song they ever made. Unfortunately... about 6 or 7 Yes albums bitch slap even the best Tull could manage. Tales.. the pinnacle of prog. Every before in the 70's was ascent to mountaintop of prog.. everything after has a decent until it died.. only to be reborn in a more progressive guise umm hmm.

Relayer. Tull's best was never going to beat the best of Yes IMO. For what it's worth, TAAB is my favourite Tull album, followed by Songs from The Wood. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

What’s with all the tales love? People actually believe longer songs and albums are better? Give me an album with 40 strong minutes or a strong 4 minute song over a double album or a 15 minute song with the same amount of strong music and the the rest filler  ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's.

Do these albums include the extra gems on the remixes? Tull would smash Yes Warchild goes from an average single album to a fairly good double album. Aqualung goes from a good single album to a very good double album. ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's.

Yeah I love good godmother, glory row, March the mad scientist and Saturation. Pretty much on par with Tull music through the 70s. I love the Too old to RnR extras too. Pity they couldn’t find the remaining tapes. There was meant to be a double album worth for that one too ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's.

No it isn't  It's approximately 35% filler I jest, but the weakest track for me is Soundchaser, which to me just sounds like a string of random unrelated ideas, pasted together to make a track. It has it's 'moments' but the rest of the album is sublime IMO. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
Posted By: dr prog
Date Posted: February 21 2018 at 12:24
The second half of Gates is filler too lol. Sound chaser is good for 2 minutes. To be over is the best track overall but even that drags on at the end. Yes started running out of composition ideas in 1972 and had to add chunks of filler on ctte, toto and relayer while gfto sounds cold ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's.
