   I voted WAW only because I dont really like "Your Own Special Way". on 

TOTT I was never to fond of "Ripples" and "Squonk". 1 beats 2. I guess 

those  2 songs reminded me to much of non-hackett era Genesis. Duke, 

Abacab, etc. I Do think that One Of the reasons I picked WAW was 

because of the 2 great instrumental tracks,"Wot Gorilla?" and "...In That 

Quiet Earth". "Los Endos" off of TOTT is very similar  to these I think.

Poll Question: What non Gabriel Genesis album was your faveorite out of these 2.

	TotT, no doubt. The only post gabriel album that is as brilliant as its predecessors.

	Wind & Wuthering has more Hackett-touch and is IMHO slightly better for that reason. But, yes Blacksword, it makes sense to vote Trick for that pressure thing.

	My preference changes. I would havwe voted Trick without any hesitation a few years back, but I have since re-appraised WAW. Both are very strong albums, and in some ways WAW is more 'progressive' than ATOTT. It has more 'epic' tracks for a start, but also only has musically weak track IMO (Your own special way) Even the lyrically terrible 'All in a mouses night' is good instrumentally. The production is years ahead of its time and the performances are superb. ATOTT, is beautifully produced and has this wonderful melancholic and mysterious feel. It also has 'Dance on a volcano' and Los Endos' Two of the greatest Genesis songs of all time Trick wins, I guess, and gets my vote. Partly because of the respect I have for the band producing such a good album under the pressure of losing Gabriel.
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	I think Wind & Wuthering takes my vote actually.
