If this were the album wars thread, I'd vote for Floyd, but since this is a Prog Wars thread, my vote goes to Yes.

Close to the Edge - 2
Animals - 1
My exact thoughts. Animals is the better album, but Close to the Edge is far more of a prog album imo.

Close to the Edge - 3
Animals - 1

Oh shoot, I read and re-read the rules, but is this like the traditional album wars or is it like metal wars where a set of albums face off one at a time? I assumed it was the former or else I wouldn't have picked what many consider to be the titans of the prog world.

If it's the latter, we may want to call off this battle for the time being.

I'm going Pink Floyd's Animals. One of the most important albums to me in my library. Mostly for Les Claypool's full album cover of it, but the original is rather untouchable.

Yes is fantastic, but as some folks feel Close to the Edge is unbeatable, I'd say I'd have a hell of a time voting against Animals.

Close to the Edge - 3
Animals - 2

Animals is great but Close to the Edge is the next level up and still better than any of Pink Floyd's best JUST.

Close to the Edge -4
Animals -2

Tbh I'm not sure what the difference is, but I think this is working out okay, so we may as well stay with this format. That's what I get for grabbing someone else's idea and running with it while also carrying the proverbial pair of scissors! D'oh! :banghead:

Well it boils down to whether you want to run this thread in one of two ways:

1) On and album v. album basis, where each "war" is a separate event.

2) On a pool basis, where each "war" involves several battles between a group of albums. (see the current format of metal wars)

Yeah, I reckon option 1 is the best to go for, though I am interested, down the line, in doing a "face-off" style, sudden death or whatever between what emerge as the best overall albums.

Also, a league table would be something I'd try to set up, if this gets popular enough.

Close to the edge is definitely more proggy, but animals is the better overall album. My vote goes to Floyd.

In a Prog Folk Wars thread, sure... but in all of Prog Rock-dom? Naww
