Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Another randomly generated poll! Yes - Close To The Edge vs. Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak Last time I expected a blowout win for Boston over Genesis and have been very surprised by a tie. This time I'm expecting a pretty strong win for Yes, but I know there are a lot of Lizzy fans on here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I love Thin Lizzy, but Close to the Edge is one of my all-time favourite albums. It's perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Damn your eyes, son! These close ones cause anguishing. The tiebreak for me was "which would I turn up, if it came on in random play?" and that's always gonna be Lizzy. I love Yes -- don't @ me, Yesfriends! -- but Lizzy just sounds like rock and roll to me. 1 and 1a for this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 A tough one! Are you sure these are randomly generated :lol: they seem very difficult :) I love Close to the Edge, but I went with Jailbreak, it's a personal favorite. Voted Yes for the band, though, only because Thin Lizzy was so short lived, we never got to hear their full potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voted Yes for the band, though, only because Thin Lizzy was so short lived, we never got to hear their full potential. Well it's about as randomly generated as I want it to be. What I do is I pull up my record collection on rateyourmusic.com, then I have the internet roll me a d23 to determine which page I'll pick an album from, then I have it roll a D25 for the particular album. However I have made the personal ruling that if it picks something either I or the community here doesn't know all that well or if it picks one of the like couple of 45s I have in that list, I get to re-roll once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 So this is a really hard one. I may not be quite right in my assessment of my own feelings, but I feel bad for Lizzy getting the short end of the stick here, and when I think about it, from a certain perspective their discography is just more consistent than Yes'. There's not a single Yes album I've heard that I don't enjoy, but I have to admit that Big Generator and Tormato feel a bit hollow in a catalogue that includes Close To The Edge and The Yes Album. Thin Lizzy's catalogue just doesn't really have that problem. Even the weaker records that I've heard are pretty narrowly separated from the stronger ones. So I'm giving TL my vote for the best band if only for that reason (and that they're also way cooler), but Close To The Edge is closer to my heart that Jailbreak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
