I really enjoyed the Rewiring Genesis version too! It really brought new life to the album with great arrangements.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

The Wall. Lamb is half a good album. Even though it's odd to say, The Wall is far more consistent story-wise and more compelling from a character standpoint.

Lamb, purely for the music.  Though with The Wall I can at least understand some of the story. Wink

Also in my opinion the Lamb has aged a lot better. I thought i would never say it about a Floyd album cos even though I love the Wall it has not aged as well and classics generally do not age like other music does

The layers of THE LAMB are just too incredible and tear apart Pink Floyd's WALL into smithereens.

No contest for me. The lamb. Hands down. It's one of Genesis's very best albums.

Wow. Peter Gabriel went out on a massive high note leaving genesis. ;)



Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

The Wall has quite some good songs, but The Lamb has many, many good songs, so The Lamb it is.

Both albums are flawed in my opinion, but I've voted for the one that has Comfortably Numb on it.

I remember those days. We had the radio on at work then and it used to be on all the time.
 
The Lamb has more depth and variety, The Wall is ok but I find it a tad boring.

Hello Michael,  this should answer your question.  From the "Frequently Asked Questions" section:

Why can't I create polls or vote in existing ones? Poll creation and voting is only available to forum members with higher ranks than Newbie. Once you've posted 100 messages on the forum, you'll be able to vote in prog polls. This was introduced on the forums to avoid people creating fake accounts to mess with the polls.

Link to the FAQ section:

wow... Im speechless how did i not see that question in that section anyway, oh well, thx though ALOT Smile

I feel that way about The Wall too.

The Wall, easily. Neither albums are among my very favourite onea from each band, but I find The Wall's concept much more satisfying and better worked. And I at least like most of the songs, though I miss the longer songs with more instrumental passages from earlier albums (which is true about The Lamb too). On The Lamb there are very few songs that I actually like, whatever concept it has just doesn't interest me, and Gabriel's singing seems more annoying than ever (and it has less instrumental passages, which means it has more Gabriel singing).

I was just thinking yesterday about the timelessness and brilliance of the Lamb's story: a man enslaved by selfishness going on a journey where he eventually finds himself only when he sacrifices his own desires for the life of another.  A common trope, but brilliantly told with The Lamb's quirky story and beautiful imagery. 



I think it's about childbirth. 

I think that's at least one aspect of the story, but really one of the great things about the album is that it's so deep that it can be about many things.

"The Wall" movie is one of the main reasons I'm here! This artsy film-student could not look away from the glorious spectacle and it made me look further into the genre. When I found out that Rush and Pink Floyd were part of this magical genre called "Progressive Rock" I was a goner

The Wall!
