I suspect I know which album is going to win this. Sleepy

And it only takes a quick glance at the Top 100 on the Home Page to know which one.

Both are great albums so no vote this time. I slightly prefer TAAB (maybe because that strange recitative about hare who lost his spectacles on APP), but it's not by wide margin and thus this resolution.

TAAB 4*
APP 2*

Neither is as good as Aqualung.

I agree.  I'm so damn old, I saw Tull tour with TAAB (Glenn Cornick's band Wild Turkey opened).  Sometime in 1972.  

It was an amazing show!  I missed the Passion Play tour, it is a fine album, but my college roommate played it constantly, so I got tired of it.

Passion Play is far more enjoyable and complex in musical terms, and still underrated compared to TAAB, so it gets my vote. But yeah, the TAAB concept is ahead of this world.
