I like CTTE better than TAAB, both musically and lyrically. So 2-0 in my personal league

Gotta be CTTE. More influential, more diversity, virtuosity and ideas in CTTE. TAAB is a great album, but it is extremely hard to acquire, and it can get boring(for me at least), while CTTE always will sound fresh. My second favorite album after Foxtrot.

Please, can somebody answer me why should we decide which is best between a Conceptual, Folk Prog with touches of Blues and flute based album with a Classical Symphonic keyboard based one that have nothing in common?
Yes.......Genesis Ok
Jethro Tull......Renaissance Ok
but Jethro Tull....Yess?????
Iván
BTW: Both are masterpieces in their own style and sub-genre

At the moment I would say TAAB, I know the album a lot better then
CTTE. Therefore I will not vote until I know CTTE a little better.

Thick as a Brick, for me one of the best pieces of music ever. And if
im not wrong it is the album with the highest rates in this site, so...

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Thick as a Brick is a fantastic album !! But it's there is no way I would rank it even in the same league as CTTE. Which is IMO one of the top 10 (perhaps 5) albums ever released...

Absolutely can't pick. So I won't. I like Topo a touch better than both, but TAAB and CTTE are on pretty much the same level (along with Relayer, Lamb etc.) for me.

Close to the Edge about a million miles in my mind.

yeah¡...It´s been more than enough of Close to the edge. Still, I vote for "Thick". The difference in songwriting, imagination and creatiity is overwhelming .

I love TAAB, but I am married with CTTE, so what should I do? I decided to stay with CTTE.

Gotta go with Thick is a Brick. Close to the Edge is brilliant, but the second half of the lengthy title track can't match the intensity of its opening, whereas Jethro Tull managed to keep the song Thick as a Brick equaly exciting throughout its entire duration.
