Going for the One or Wind & Wuthering

   I vote Going For the One. I actually heard both for the first time at a similar time in my life. I haven't listened to W&W in almost ten years, but still listen to most of GFTO every once in a while, and Awaken on its own would be enough to justify it winning this poll.

	Both equally, but G4T1 has a slight edge thanks to "Parallels" and the incredible "Awaken." Side 2 of W&W is exceptional. Both are essential, classic records that sound very different.
	eBay

	Neither.
	Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

	Going for the One falls far behind in this one. Definitely bottom. Wind (not of the bottom kind) & Wuthering for me. And Blood on the Rooftops is one of my very fave Genesis tracks (and One for the Vine). Wind... by far[t] one might crassly say. No contest, way prefer the Genesis album.

	I was thinking about this matchup last night and then I saw Wind & Wuthering on the front page here today so maybe that was a sign to go forward. Also, I'm sure this has been done before but I couldn't find it.
