Both two terrific artistic statements.

A great example of where music is not a competition.

Both good albums. I went with Yes.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Equally brilliant, somewhat last classic "old-school prog" sounding albums by both bands with a lot of experimentation, spontaneity in them (GFTO and Permanent Waves have already kind of polished, more modern sound). Cannot decide..

Good! Relayer is winning this "thing".

Ha ha. You could say the same about topographic oceans and for Rush you could say the same about Hemispheres or Caress of Steel.


I say it about tales of topographic oceans and close to the edge
Hemispheres is pretty strong to me. Caress of steel is good in bits but a bit on the hard rock side
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Not a fan of Rush, but I think I'd put Hemispheres on before Relayer, though I'd say Relayer is the musically superior album.  Life's funny that way.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

"Relayer" due to the best side-long track ever recorded.

Relayer.

Close: I put The Gates as the #1 track of my Top Prog list, with Hemispheres at #3.
