Thanks for posting this, but I can't help but wonder:

With Discovery and Time ranked so high, where is Secret Messages?

Well, I've never been a fan of that album, except for Secret Messsages, Four Little Diamonds and R&R Is King. I guess I have to listen to it again.

Going back to the question itself; I don't find much similarity between Discovery and Secret Messages. It does sound a bit more like Time, though.
