| I dunno, I like CTTE, SEBTP and DSOTM about equally, I guess I'll go for DSOTM right now cause I'm feeling it now. |

My favorite out of that list is probably Close to the Edge, JUST above Selling
England. Like the Miracle said, if Foxtrot was there, that would get my vote. I also haven't really let Thick As a Brick absorb that much yet. With given time I'm not entirely sure if that might be my favorite. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Despite my love for Genesis I have to vote in this order:
SEBTP is my least favorite Gabriel era album, still good, but inferior to all the rest IMHO. Iván -------------

From this list it would be Selling England, which is in my top 10 of best cd's. Dark Side would be a candidate too. The others have a lot of good musical moments too, but are not in my top 10. |

I could not agree more. Darkside and Wish you were here are my least favorite pink floyd albums. Boring. I am kind of tired of close to the edge. Thick as a brick is a great album. But I have to vote for selling england, even though I think Foxtrot is their best album. Selling England has to many weak spots. ------------- Support your Local Record store. |

thick and ctte are the only classics in that list. The 2 floyd albums are pretty overrated. SEBTP is in the middle. This site is too YES and Genesis biased ;) . I love Genesis, but it's an insult to rank TAAB below SEBTP. I find the first couple of minutes of moonlit to be very dull. Good album, but Foxtrot is better. I think TAAB is a bit more complete than CTTE

The list above is not my TOP 5 list!!! A couple of albums come before SEBTP A few come before DSOTM Many come before CTTE A whole bunch of albums come before TAAB WYWH might be somewhere in the end of my TOP 50 or maybe not even in it. |

| The Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here, followed by Selling England By the Pound and then Close to the Edge. I really enjoy Jethro Tull, but I am not even sure if they stand in my personal top 20 favorite bands. |

I can't choose! All terrific, but for me, DSOTM would not in in quite the same lofty league as the other four. WYWH is perhaps my fave Floyd disc. Selling England, Edge and Thick would all be (prog) "desert island" selections for me. A good top five, for sure! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
