The highest rated albums by these German bands, which one is it to be? For me Illusions just gets the nod but both are great.

Very difficult choice, but I'm going with Triumvirat - Illusions On A Double Dimple.

Triumvirat's Illusions On A Double Dimple is my favorite album of all time, so it very easily got my vote. Ocean is one of Eloy's better albums, but in comparison, doesn't hold a candle to Illusions. Thanks for creating this poll, Richard.

I've listened to all of Eloy's albums, but haven't heard any of Triumvirat's albums, so I'll have to take a rain check on this poll. Confused

'Dimple is the best Triumvirat album whereas Ocean falls within the top five of Eloy. Have to give it to the former.

Triumvirat hits the spot much more than the Eloy album.

Gosh, I love Eloy as a band and Ocean is a great album, although not my preferred one of them (that would be either Colours or Planets or Time to Turn). But Illusions on a Double Dimple is a splendid album and gets my vote here.

Triumvirat have been one of the bands that I've heard a lot but never gotten into. I'll change that today or nowadays. Then I'll cast my vote. I love Eloy BTW.

Oh, that's a harsh thing to say. 
Everyone knows how much you love Triumvirat, but to say that Eloy's Ocean does not hold a candle to Illusions is a tad too much. Smile
