Oh, my God! How could Foxtrot beat SEBTP? SEBTP has a more audible Hackett guitar, brainy compositions, and a serious concept. Foxtrot has some cold music and incoherence on 'Supper'.

I did it in 65 seconds just to prove how futile is to make multiple choice polls.

It's a proof of how meaningless a multiple votes poll is.

Foxtrot. Both are great, but there is no weak track on Foxtrot and Selling England has "No Fool Me" which is not a good song.

After the top 3 of Lamb, Trick and Wind, I guess Selling England is my next favourite. Without Wardrobe and Epping Forest it could be the best. I've never found Foxtrot to be very special, I prefer Trespass to it.

Coin flip. Both great albums. Both superior to anything that is released by so called superstar groups these days.

Selling England By The Pound because I don´t know to dance  a foxtrot and I know how efficiently spend the pound.

Foxtrot.. I've never understood the hype around Selling England... since only about 3 of the songs are often lauded, yet the others have either mixed opinions or are generally hated.
Foxtrot has no really weak track, yet I can't really stand to listen to about half of Selling England...

Of course it's Selling England! I mean, hello! Firth of Fifth, best guitar solo ever!

Foxtrot, without question. Selling England By The Pound has always been just short of great to me because it's too unfocused. Foxtrot is really streamlined and gripping, and no prog song, ever, will be better than Supper's Ready. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

Selling England.
 
Foxtrot has a lot of great music too, and I immediately loved it, but Selling England grew on me through the years.
