Two albums by two bands, why those you might ask, well, i dont know, just felt for it. Albums with long and short songs. Inspired instrumentalist and vocals. A spark of something alive and kicking is observed in both albums. So which one is it you like the most. -------------

Fragile by about 1.25 star. Islands is the only KC album I might prefer over Fragile. -------------

| Over time fragile has grown on me and larks I’ve gotten tired of. I don’t think either are 10/10, but gotta vote for fragile on this one. |

Fragile is part of the "Magic Trilogy" started with The Yes Album and ended with Close To The Edge. That's my choice. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Tough call! Fragile by the thinnest of margins and based on the fact that I've probably played Fragile slightly more than Larks ------------- Songs cast a light on you |

Fragile, by a reasonable margin. There are better KC albums. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Larks... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Fragile ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Larks' Tongues in Aspic because it isn't as easy to break.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Voted Larks. In My personal ranking they are so Close: Fragile 8,5/10. Larks 9-. Fragile contains the marvellous Heart of the Sunrise but the instrumental pieces are weak. le

Like almost everyone else, it's a close one for me too. I went with Larks. As much as I love Fragile, LTiA leaves a more lasting impression. ------------- https://ibb.co/8x0xjR0" rel="nofollow">  |

If there would be The Yes Album, I'd vote for it. But in this contest it's Larks... -------------

| Even though Larks is great indeed, I have to go with Fragile, which along with Close to the Edge make the top of prog for me. |

It's like apples vs oranges... I like both, for different reasons. If I had to choose, my choice would depend on my current mood and frame of mind. Later, my choice would be different. |
