Great to see here has been that much love to Animals/the Wall, I have always thought the Wall is not very respected here. Anyway I love those both more than WYWH.

I noticed in the plethora of polls for various numbered releases from different bands that the 4th and 5th albums seems to be a sweet spot for many prog artists, such as: 

Jethro Tull - Aqualung, Thick as a Brick
Yes - Fragile, Close to the Edge
Genesis - Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound
Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Godbluff
Gentle Giant - Octopus, In a Glass House
Rush - 2112, A Farewell to Kings

But then it struck me. What about longevity? What happened on releases 10 and 11, for instance? Who kept the streak going even after 10 or so years? And there you have the premise of the poll. 
Yes, you're absolutely right, although I'd never thought of it that way before. Anyway, my vote goes to the Moody Blues because I love both of those albums. Smile 
Haven´t been very keen to Moodies album after Seventh (I think their direction start to go weaker already in Every Good Boy), but maybe I have to listen them again.

I don't think I'm a fan of this specific poll format: Most of these combinations have both an album I like and one I either don't like or just don't care about. I think I'm gonna go with Genesis.

Difficult to choose between VdGG - Trisector, A Grounding in Numbers and Pink Floyd - Animals, The Wall because it's Animals > A Grounding in Numbers > Trisector > The Wall. However, I'll give my vote to VdGG.

Jethro Tull's pair of albums take some beating. IQ's albums are quality, as are BBTs. Rush might have been moving away from their classic era, but they are still very good. However, can't vote against the old 'Kitchen Prose and Gutter Rhymes'!

By the way, for me it was Jethro Tull followed by Pink Floyd. Each band at albums 10 and 11 released really great stuff.

Rush 10th and 11th studio albums are GUP and Power Windows.

I voted for IQ anyway and that wouldn't have changed if above had been correct.

Tull, just ahead of BBT and IQ (tied for second)
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Tull, two of their best, their most prog folk sounding albums, somehow different enough from each other to be both so worthwhile

Based on what I've heard I agree more or less, with Big Big Train as the outstanding exception. The Second Brightest Star is fine and Grimspound is a masterpiece.
