Genesis had there been another album than GFTO, it would have been tough choice. GFTO is just an ok album for me.

Went with Genesis. If it had been Yes album + Relayer or Tales (CTTE & Fragile had already been used) it would have been different. Any combo taken from Yes' big 5 will beat any Genesis combo. |

| I guess this time it must be Genesis, as much as I love Awaken. |

SEBTP > GFTO > TYA > ATOTT Tough. Selling England by the Pound is essential, but so is Going for the One in my book. If I were to assign numbers, SEBTP is high 90s, GFTO around 90, TYA a hair lower, while Trick is ~80 out 100. Very, very even poll from my point of view. As a tie-breaker, I'll ask myself: What would you like to hear today? And I come up with Selling England by the Pound.

The Yes Album is the only one of the four that I REALLY like, so that would make Yes the winner regardless of what other Yes album you paired it with. |

Easy poll. Two of the best Genesis albums. Probably the ones I would choose to introduce someone to their classic sound. There are much stronger Yes records. Though both are pretty damn good.

Selling England by the Pound>The Yes Album>A Trick of the Tail=Going for the One So for this one, I'll go with Genesis, but just barely.

| TYA is great but not one of my very, very favorite Yes albums. SEBTP for a long time was my favorite Genesis although eventually it became TOTT so Genesis it is. As for GFTO I prefer the live versions of most of those songs especially parallels. It's still very good though but maybe a step down from the albums before it. |

How I feel as well although maybe not quite as barely as you. ;)

What? I actually like Going for the One a lot(and obviously The Yes Album). But has to be Genesis here, by a good margin. |

Gotta go with Yes on this one, mostly comparing Going For the One with Trick... I've really come to love GFTO lately. Trick's great, but I don't get into all of the tracks well. ------------- Z |

Yes by far. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Selling England by the Pound & Trick of the Tail - Genesis ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |
