That's damn right. If you put WYWH instead of the Wall, so you can begin to think about a comparison.
The best you can is good enough...

But then we're talking about a "[Slot 1] VS [Slot 2] in the top 100" poll again....That's CTTE vs. SEBTP all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAAB showed Jethro Tull at their peak. The Wall showed Pink Floyd on the way down from theirs.

TAAB it is.

TAAB by a mile.  The Wall is actually one of my least favorite Floyd albums.  Just a step above DSOTM.  Never really got into either of those albums. I've always been much more into  WYWH, Animals, Meddle, even AHM and OBC.  TAAB is my favorite Tull album on the other hand.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I find both overrated to be honest, TAAB just a little(4 stars IMO, not their best), and The Wall a whole lot (it sucksDead) So TAAB by a million miles.

TAAB isn't my absolute favourite, but when you put it against the Wall, of all PF albums, there's no contest..

This is easy,  Thick as a Brick is miles better than The Wall, not even close.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Love them both, but TAAB is close to, if not, my favorite album of all time (definately my favorite song), and The Wall isn't even my favorite Floyd album. So, pretty easy for me.

It appears The Wall is getting a thrashing but not really when you consider Thick as a brick has been in the top 5 for as long as I can remember  23/45 is the poll result which means about 1/3 of the people think the wall is better who have voted so far ...  interesting  Smile
