I assume you mean TAAB side 1......? Both for me.....that's not my favorite Tull or Yes piece....but if forced to choose to listen to one over and over I'd pick Yes. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

The lyrics alone make TAAB better than And You and I. Repeating "And You and I" 83 times over the space of 10 minutes does not endear it to me like TAAB does. ------------- ...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... |

I was exaggerating. A little. However, I seem to remember the word "Glad" comes up 124 times in Cream's "I'm So Glad". And yes, one did strange things back in the day on hallucinogenics. ------------- ...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... |

Don't really see how the two are comparable, really. And one is its band's colossal statement and triumph! ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

| Too close to choose. Specially if I consider the Bursting Out version of Thick as a Brick. They are both just sublime. |

Closer than Echoes - but Gerald 'Little Milton' Bostock still wins for me! Thick As A Brick!
