| Here it is! Almost change Echoes to Atom Heart Mother, but then I thought it would be easily Thick that will win, also not now as hard decision to me. I go with Brick! |

I vote for Echoes against anything except for Supper's Ready. Nuff said. -------------

Echoes is simply a long, trippy jam with an extended instrumental passage -- great for what it is, but it does not rate against a complete and cohesive composition like Thick as a Brick with clever lyrics, separate movements and diverse instrumentation. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Echoes easily. TAAB is good, but not in the same league. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Echoes I haven't listened to TAAB in a very long time, I don't know why, I've always liked it. Every time I get back to Echoes, more often than anything by JT these days, it's magic (and I listened to it long long time ago). The only JT album that I feel the same is Stand Up.

'Thick as a Brick' well ahead on this one! One of the great, extended prog classics. I like Echoes a lot, but it's come up against one of the big boys this time round. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

TAAB ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

I'm not a huge Tull fan, but I am a big Floyd fan. TAAB however, get's my vote here. Possibly Tull's finest hour. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I base my judgment on the number of listens. And uf you give me the choice about which one to listen to now,it would always be Echoes. It doesn’t mean that TAAB is bad, even if I prefer Aqualung ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Mortte, you did it again, and created the most difficult poll! You definitely deserve the Meddle. Echoes is not just a trippy jam, it is very innovative. The sound Gilmour gets in the middle of the piece is so unique and eery. It builds perfectly. Totally musical. The piece is brilliant. TAAB is Tull's most musical epic, and Anderson's humour elevates it even further. And it also flows wonderfully, and ends perfectly. Darn...too difficult

^ It wasn´t originally my idea. Or it was, but originally wasn´t going to make a poll into it. I am glad Thick is winning at the moment, really love it much more than Echoes, although it´s of course great too.Well, I think we´ll give Meddle for person who will make most of this Echoes polls...

Pink Floyd had been playing with those screeching guitars and eerie section for a while before they put it into Echoes. It was particularly played live withing the live version of Embryo. |

Thick as a Brick for me ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |
