Baker St. Muse vs. Awaken

I don’t rate Tull by album because they have so many good album left overs. Most albums would have been better with different tracks lists especially the soundtracks Warchild and Too old. I rate them by the remix book sets with all those extra studio tracks and the excellent sound quality. Taab isn’t a standout anymore. The book sets have evened things up. Eg
5 star-thick, passion, aqua, horses, songs, storm
4.5 star-warchild, benefit, too old, a,
4 star-minstrel, stand up, this was

Yuck. Rather eat poo than think that

Easy one for Awaken, one of my favourite Yes songs (it's difficult to choose one, but often enough it might end as my very favourite). The Tull one isn't nearly as close to being among my favourite Tull songs.

Awaken.

Muse is fine. But Awaken is sublime. 

Baker St.....not one of my favorite long Tull tracks ,but it's still more entertaining than Awaken.

Glad disco died in the early 80's is all I have to say about disco.

Awaken, My favorite Yes epic. I saw Anderson, Rabin, Wakeman Live with my dad A few years ago and they played this song. Its was in A hall, And in the strange part with the harp at the middle of the song Rick Wakeman played notes so low on the keyboard that the ceiling was shaking. It was scary and cool at the same time.
