Two favorites from 1977: Symphonic Prog vs Heavy Prog.

If you could only have one, which would you choose?

Hard choices but went for Going for the One

A hard decision, no doubt about it. But I think I prefer GFTO. Very similar albums, and, excepting Awaken and Xanadu, it's almost equal in level. And here is when I decide. Awaken gets me every time.

Farewell To Kings here. If we were judging it on the songs themselves then the Yes would win hands down. However Going For The One is badly produced in the studio. All the songs on it sound better played live including Turn of the Century and Awaken.

I love Rush but GFTO takes it because of "Parallels" and "Awaken." It's one of Yes' best albums.
