So there's no such thing as "the greatest" but it's a fun concept to play with.  I think Foxtrot is better but SEBTB has lots of great pieces in it and it's worth being on any shortlist of all-time prog greats.
Casting doubt on all I have to say...

Thanks - I wish I'd posted that instead of just using the word 'poo'! That's one of the major reasons I dislike the song so much - it is indeed a precursor of what was (unfortunately) to come.
 
For what it's worth I don't think the word betrayal is anything but accurate.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

I do prefer The Lamb to Selling, but both albums are in my top ten fav albums ever.
Just cos you feel it, it doesnīt means itīs there....
