Ok, what do you guys think? I actually don't know the Supertramp album but threw it in there anyway.

Both I Robot and Even in the Quietest Moments are masterpieces, but I'll go with the latter.

Even in the quietist momens gets my vote altough it;s nt as good as rie of the Century or Breakfast in America, IMO.
I Robot is ok, and I've only heard that Styx album a few times in my life. Had its moments, but didn't do much for me overall.

All are about equal for me. Good albums with some great stuff contained within. Maybe Supertramp has the edge for Fool’s Overture and Downstream.

Seeing Supertramp's Voice, Roger Hodgson, performing his beauty, Even in the Quietest Moments, has to be one of my top live concert moments. Absolutely incredible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8P8-mhG1Mk

All bands and albums I'm very familiar with. I would rank each of these albums around #2-3 in the artists canon. Prefer Equinox over Grand Illusion, Tales of Mystery over I Robot, and Crime & Breakfast over Even In the Quietest Moments. When it comes to making a choice, Grand Illusion. Even some of the deeper cuts have value, though most of the record received plenty of airplay in those days. I think this is probably the first and last time I'll vote Styx in one of these polls. If it had been Tales or Crime against Equinox, I would have gone with Supertramp. |

Not really familiar with Styx, I enjoy some APP (robot is pretty good) but I love Supertramp.

Quite a tough choice. I Robot is one of my favourite APP albums, but I've gone for The Grand Illusion, as it is my favourite Styx album (in fact the only one I tend to revisit these days). I appreciate the love shown to Supertramp by many - but the band have always been one I dipped into from time to time but never followed with the consistency and zeal shown by others after the excellent Crime of the Century album.
