Pink Floyd: Animals or Yes: Relayer?

OK another silly poll! Maybe these two aren't really comparable...but they currently stand right next to each other in the Top 100, they are both great albums by prog giants, and each contains three epic tracks of around 20, 10 & 10 minutes length (plus the short acoustic numbers that bookend the Floyd album).

I have real difficulty picking between them....both of these probably belong in my Top 10 so its a tough choice....but probably the Floyd album (just!)

   No comparison

Relayer is a classic  and Animals is ordinary

 Gates is probably the best side long track ever
How wonderful to be so profound

Relayer, with some reluctance.

I love the track 'Dogs' so much. 'Dogs' is up there in my top 5 prog songs of all time, nothing off Relayer is.

However, Relayer as a whole, though, has more depth and is more challenging/interesting, so just about gets the vote..

..but no way my favourite Yes album!

Don't forget Sound Chaser. Relayer all the way.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I can't choose. They're both very great albums.  I think Animals is the best, and certainly most interesting album Pink Floyd has made. Relayer is one of the most interesting albums Yes has made. I really like the hectic jazz-rock on Relayer, but i think Fragile is slightly better.

Relayer by a mile, I do like Animals, but Relayer is just a brick above Animals.
