Both are stunning, but let's face it: 2112 is better, and I'm not even that big of  a Rush fan.

OR WOULD IT BE SMOOTH CRIMINAL????????????

Yeah, title song in "Bad" is great, I just love the minimoog solo in the middle!
Smooth Criminal is also good, but I vote in fave of Bad
Actually my fave Michael Jackson song is don't stop 'till you get enough...

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Awake is a complete album and 2112 only shines for me due to the amazing title track, even though A Mind Beside Itself on Awake is better. The solo on Voices= Sheer awesome.

I voted Awake. Its without shadow of a doubt the best DT album. But like
Empathy, I'm a huge Rush fan, so its a was hard for me to choose. 2112
its a great album, but not Rush best work (as an album).

Precisely my sentiment, and vote.

Which pains me, as I'm a huge Rush fan. But Awake was DT's best work, IMO. Now if you had pit Hemispheres against Awake, that would have been a lot tougher!
