Meddle. Love PatGoD, but Meddle. Fearless, Pillow of Winds, One of these Days, Echoes. Can't beat it.

We're comparing Apples and Oranges, which reminds me of Syd, which makes me want to vote for Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Meddle, if only because of Echoes.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Heaven forbid we should be asked to choose between 'Piper' and 'The Wall'!

Very very tough. I actually think that both of these have top masterpieces besides quite a bit of stuff that I rarely feel like visiting. I go for both equally for once.

Both equally.  The band had evolved so rapidly from the first album to 'Meddle' so that a comparison is meaningless.  I know many will go for the mighty 'Echoes' when making their choice but it's like comparing the first Yes album to 'Close to the Edge' etc.

Or comparing 'From Genesis to Revelation' with 'Selling England by the Pound'.

Piper is often considered to be one of the best of the pre dark side albums and so is Meddle. That's why they were both singled out for this particular poll. It really has nothing to do with their similarities or differences. I've seen a lot of polls on here where the albums or artists aren't similar. Two or more items being similar is not a prerequisite for a poll.

It would be more like comparing the first Yes album with Fragile (CttE would be equivalent to Dark Side I guess... or even WywH). And Comparing Piper with the Genesis debut wouldn't seem apropriate either, because Piper was actually a notorious album at the time, as I understand it, unlike the Genesis one (or the Yes one either, for that matter).

I've always despised Jonathan King, but he did give Genesis and 10cc the kick started they needed to get their careers going.

Meddle >> Piper. I’d stick The Wall, AHM and Obscured in between
