Another day, another set of Fraja's stupid polls, why these 2 ? Any reason? Will Fraja run out of poll ideas? I went for CTTE! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

TAAB hands down! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| Gotta go with Thick is a Brick. Close to the Edge is brilliant, but the second half of the lengthy title track can't match the intensity of its opening, whereas Jethro Tull managed to keep the song Thick as a Brick equaly exciting throughout its entire duration. |

I love TAAB, but I am married with CTTE, so what should I do? I decided to stay with CTTE. ------------- "All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste." - GENTLE GIANT |

| yeahˇ...It´s been more than enough of Close to the edge. Still, I vote for "Thick". The difference in songwriting, imagination and creatiity is overwhelming . |

| CTTE, by a wide margin. Not that TAAB is bad, CTTE just happens to be amazing. |

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... ------------- " Jon Anderson is the only man I know who tries to save this planet while living on another" - Rick Wakeman |

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. -Stone Beard |

| 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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

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