Definitely a poll where none is a correct answer, but I won't take the cowards way out. 

Yes.

Power Windows is decent, if not good, but 90125 has the more memorable songs.

I was about to hit the 90125 button, but then reflected on how much I really do like most of Power Windows, and went with the equal. 

But have to admit, 90125 was probably a bigger part of my music world back in the day.

Power Windows isn't what I call polarizing. Rush fans love it.

90125? Definitely. Both are classics in my book, but Power Windows has no filler.

Power windows by a mile. Manhattan Project alone is a Rush classic. 90125 is imo is the start of the decline of Yes as a band.

Probably 90210. Power Windows is good but I think Rush has better albums from the 80's. Yes unfortunately weren't very prolific in the 80's but I still think 90210 is better than Power Windows.

This is all very old music--so I judge music from the past by would I pay to go see it played live?---I wouldn't pay a dime to hear 90125 live--or any Yes west album for that matter---but Rush maybe.  Makes sense for me but maybe not for everyone.

^All I can think about now is how my high school theater teacher had a small recurring role on that show long before she was a teacher. She was also a terrible director and played favorites in the worst way. A little glad she was fired, but sad it was after I graduated.

Yes, I know that. I thought that it was also a nickname for this album because of the similarity. I guess I'm the only one who knows about that joke. Confused

I love Yes and I'm a HUUGE Trevor Horn fan, but the songs on Power Windows are just BETTER than 90125.  I cant really explain it.  And I've never compared these two in any context.  But I would definitely go with Power Windows here.  I just listen to it more and it stands the test of time better.
listen to streaming stuff! no commercials!

I saw the tours for both these albums.  At the time, 90125 reinvigorated Yes and I saw a great performance by the band at Birmingham's NEC.  At the same venue sometime later, I saw Rush for the first time on that Power Windows tour.  It was one of the most turgid concerts I have ever been to, along with Dire Straits.

I am well aware of that joke...and have definitely said it many a time as in "90210 or whatever that album is called".  I googled the zip code 90125 and it says that it doesn't exist, but if it did it would be located in L.A.

you probably know this but 90125 was the albums catalogue number---had nothing to do with zip codes--but I used it as a password a lot on devices---oops now you all know how to get into my iPhone Dead
