I like Defector but it's not in the same league as The Wake. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

No vote. I have not heard Steve Hackett's album. The Wake is one of the best albums of the period - in my book. -------------

can't vote yet, I haven't listened to Defector in a really long time. I'll listen to it and get back to this. |

It has to be The Wake. That doesn't however mean Defector is bad. ------------- Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus |

So hard... Gonna give it to IQ. Defector kicks ass but... lots of good albums in 1980. Not so much in 1985. Doesn't hold a candle to Misplaced Childhood but only due to inconsistency. The Wake suffers from some clunkers near the end, but the highs are so freaking high I'll forgive it. -------------

The Wake, along with Misplaced Childhood and Contagion are the trifecta of neo-prog. It's actually an underrated album in my book as it deserves to be just as high as The Road Of Bones. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

Ohhh, if you asked me 10 years ago, then definitely The Wake, which is one of my fave neo prog albums. These days I choose Defector, since that album has grown with me tremendously.

Definitely The Wake for me, but Defector is also really good. |
