well me personaly I think side one (2112) is better but I can imagine A passage to Bangkok, The Twilightzone, Lessons,Tears & Something for Nothing on side Two getting a few votes .. anyway this should be interesting I hope .... btw I didnt bother to check if its been done but I think I`m safe as of recently anyway. Wink

This will be a blowout.

Side 1, for its sheer brilliance and also for nostalgia. Not to say Side 2 is bad by any means; I really like it too.

Side A is fantastic. Side B is what it is...
 
I wonder if Tarkus would get a more balanced poll than this...

Side 1. Side 2 has got some nice moments, but most of it isn't very good IMO. Side 1 is a great epic, which also has some weaker moments, but in the end is still very interesting.

Actually a tough decision. I love the title track but so do I love the second side as well... I could vote for side two just to balance things a bit, but... Hell, I'll justify it with the annoying out-of-place melody in the title track just before the vocals come in, that's the only bit of the album that I really dislike Tongue I remember hearing the song on Rush in Rio before the studio version and I thought it was just some silly joke played by Alex.

Its a great album overall.

But the side 1 suite wins for me.

Easy one! side 1 is far better. Side 2 is pretty average stuff compare to what they did after that. That's why i am always surprised to see the high rating of the 2112 album.

Side 2, side 1 becomes too much for me, but i do love the melodies on side 2, some of the best rock songs they have done. Seem from a prog view side 1 is prob. more prog, but im by ears to much fill and guitar effects. 
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Side 1 for me.

Side 2 is pretty good though. Something for nothing and Lessons are excellent songs!

No contest.  I don't even like side 2 much at all, except for "Something for Nothing" which is ok.

Both, but I actually I find myself listening more to side 2 these days, maybe I find it more consistent throughout, or maybe I listened the Overture and Temples Of Sirynx too many times live.... or maybe I think side 2 deserves one more vote at the moment, or maybe all those reasons altogether.

Side Two, 2112 is overrated.
