That's damn right. If you put WYWH instead of the Wall, so you can begin to think about a comparison.

But then we're talking about a "[Slot 1] VS [Slot 2] in the top 100" poll again....That's CTTE vs. SEBTP all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, how do you build a wall? With bricks... But in the end, what's what you're seeing and what you're counting on? The Wall, not the individual brick, no matter how thick it may be... 
As inferred from that, The Wall

No album beats Hybris.
And frankly, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven comes very close.

Few albums beat The Wall
And frankly, Thick as a Brick doesn't even come close. 
My god, I'll never understand this Tull fixation that affects people...

I like both albums a lot but i gave my vote to The Wall because it was the one to get me into Floyd and Prog in general, so remains one of my all time favourites (i think i was in 7th grade(lol). And do you think somebody who talks like andYouandI45 is over 7th grade?

Used to like The Wall a lot and TAAB not so much. Been on sort of a JT marathon lately. Liking TAAB more than I did before. So TAAB it is.

Wow. That's a lotta swearing mixed with strong opinions.
I'd like to point out that when I was in 7th or 8th grade I did a 10 minute speech on Thick as a Brick, and proudly proclaimed it was my favourite album of all time at the end. I think you're unfairly generalizing things, andyouandI7thgradeprejudice.
EDIT: Did you have some bad experience in the 7th grade? Or in camp during the 7th grade?
FURTHER EDIT: The thread I was replying to has vanished because of abuse, it seems, so ignore this response.

Do you think is really there a contest? Both are equally great bands, no doubt, but you're comparing Tull's best and Floyd's third or fourth place in their top 5 albums. So, no contest. TAAB.
