Animals. And the distance betwixt the two is infinite.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Animals, though I favour Xanadu over any track off this album.

Farewell to Kings. I like Animals. But, this may be my favorite Rush album. Xanadu makes it a comfortable win.

Animals. I prefer eighties Rush over their seventies output generally. Animals is the last straight up prog masterpiece of the classic era imo although Hawkwind put out my favourite album by them in this year. Is it prog though? That would give Animals a run for its money.

^ Yeah, and I'm a bit shocked, I was thinking that it would be a closer score!

thanks for giving me the 'Both' option... Approve

quite obviously, Animals

You're welcome It's only natural, dealing with so widely known and well-loved material, to reserve that option for people that couldn't finally choose one and let the other go,... like myself!

Quark? Seriously??  Confused

I mean, it's alright, but not a patch on Mountain Grill, Warrior, or either of the above offerings in question. What do you find so exceptional about it?
