Interesting idea I had, in each case I greatly prefer one album over the other. Gonna sit on this one for a bit before I vote. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

I just bought the two Van Der Graaf Generator albums in the poll last week, although I haven't listened to them yet. I always listen to my albums in alphabetical order by genre, and I'm still on "A" for Argent at the moment.

Trick of the Tail = 4* / Wind & Wuthering = 4* Starless & Bible Black = 4* / Red = 5* The Yes Album = 5* / Fragile = 5* Least We Can Do Is Wave = 4* / H to He = 4* That's my assessment, so my vote goes to Yes on this one. ------------- Songs cast a light on you |

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!! Genesis is a veeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy distant second. Between Yes and Genesis, I would add: Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream / To Our Children's Children (1969) Kansas - Song For America / Masque (1975) Rush - Fly By Night / Caress of Steel (1975)

I considered the later two, but figured they wouldn't stand a chance. If it were Kansas S/t and Song for America I might be scratching my head myself as those are both very strong releases! ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

The Yes Album/Fragile - Yes. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| Trick and W&W---still listen to them all the time--still listen to Fragile and in awe of its originality and genius but don't listen to The Yes Album as great as it is prefer live versions of the great songs on it---sooooooo Genesis . |

 , but OK, I'll play
interesting method My turn: Gen: 5 and 3 = 8 Crim: 3 and 4 = 7 VdGG: 4 and 3.5 = 7.5 Yes: 4.5 and 3 = 7.5 missing from the list Crimson's Poseidon and Lizard: 3.5 and 5 = 8.5 no vote

King Crimson, for the following reason: the Yes and VDGG albums were by groups just then discovering their musical voice; the Genesis pair showed a band at the beginning its downward career arc. But Crimson in 1974, and the album Red in particular, represented the pinnacle of Progressive Rock in the 1970s. ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

Fragile was a December '71 release in the UK, and hit the US in '72. |

I can't give you any points for your maths though...(4 and 3.5 = 8.5) ? ------------- Songs cast a light on you |

Depends on your point of view. On a site like this one many would agree. However, from a popularity and success standpoint, Genesis were just getting started. Nothing downward about that arc EDIT - damn typo

| Yes Album/Fragile for me. While the others are good to very great, it doesn't get better than these two Yes albums for this poll at least. |

Least We Can Do is Wave/H to He for me. "Red" is amazing but starless is not as good. Both Yes and Genesis albums are classic too |

I'll take Yes from the selections provided... ...but would choose ELP - Tarkus / Pictures at an Exhibition (1971) as a preferred un-included choice ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |
