thank God you said "arguably the best prog CD of all time Tull's "Thick as a Brick""...
and this is probably the point of those polls... you've already said it.. a chance for us "Wall freaks" to state our love for that monument..
oh, and IMHO, arguably The Wall is the best prog album ever..
and i don't see what the harm is about same threads appear again from time to time since from the last time new members have registered or opinions changed...
oh, and http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=76799

You just insulted 32 % of the people here, and dismissed their honest opinions as false fact.

TaaB by far, it's much more ambitious imho. While the wall has some
great songs on it, it also has a lot of fillers which temp me to use
the skip-button. It just feels too much like Roger Waters pouring his
heart out two discs long than a full-fledged Floydrecord.

It appears The Wall is getting a thrashing but not really when you consider Thick as a brick has been in the top 5 for as long as I can remember 23/45 is the poll result which means about 1/3 of the people think the wall is better who have voted so far ... interesting

Love them both, but TAAB is close to, if not, my favorite album of all time (definately my favorite song), and The Wall isn't even my favorite Floyd album. So, pretty easy for me.

This is easy, Thick as a Brick is miles better than The Wall, not even close.

TAAB isn't my absolute favourite, but when you put it against the Wall, of all PF albums, there's no contest..

I find both overrated to be honest, TAAB just a little(4 stars IMO, not their best), and The Wall a whole lot (it sucks  ) So TAAB by a million miles.

TAAB by a mile. The Wall is actually one of my least favorite Floyd albums. Just a step above DSOTM. Never really got into either of those albums. I've always been much more into WYWH, Animals, Meddle, even AHM and OBC. TAAB is my favorite Tull album on the other hand.

TAAB showed Jethro Tull at their peak. The Wall showed Pink Floyd on the way down from theirs.
TAAB it is.
