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.

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...

Its tough...but I have to go with CTTE
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.

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.

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

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.

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