The fifth option (doesn't appear in the list) -- none of them. None of them is an "absolute masterpiece", in my opinion.
If I have to choose the most favourite out of the four albums listed it'll be Thick as a Brick.
And for each group I have albums I like more than those four listed.

| Dark Side, Selling England, Close to = Thick. Although the selection of four is questionable to begin with. Lamb and Foxtrot are better than Selling and WYWH is *possibly* better than Dark Side. |

TAAB > DSOTM > CTTE > SEBTP TAAB (This epic album has no faults (well, except perhaps that stupid psyche-out part on side 2) DSOTM (Still holds up nicely after all theese years, alltough I must confess, I've gotten a little bored with it. But I never tire of it!) CTTE (Realy, I love this album, but I can't see why it's concidered such a classic. I usualy skip the first track, btw ;P) SEBTP (Too bad that tvo of Genesis most strongest songs have to be on this uneaven album. Still a classic, but Foxtrot is many times the better album) -------------

close to the edge = perfect prog album
1- a nearly 20 minutes song
2- great theme... voice harmony... mini-moog solo(one of the most important thing in prog
 )3- something that I call a Great prog cheesie song (siberian khatru)
perfection  ------------- quelqu'un pour un jam? blindtoad = Poor english... |

I vote none of them. Relayer is better than Close to the Edge; Foxtrot and The Lamb are both better that Selling England; I don't like Jethro Tull; and Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here, Animals, Meddle, A Saucerful Of Secrets, and The Piper At The Gates of Dawn are all better than Dark Side Of The Moon. I can't understand how the four albums you listed are in the top 10 when the same bands each have much better albums |

Dark side of the moon, because it's cooler and not that dated. Selling England by th pound ould be my second choice, though I only like 2 tracks of it. Yes is all about noise and high pitch no balls vocals, and all Jethro Tull albums are interchangeable. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

I no longer own either SEBTP or TAAB as neither did much for me. I would much rather have seen Brain Salad Surgery or Tarkus in the list as that would have made the choices much harder for me.
