i'm only familiar with the first two but of those i'd easily pick animals. i dunno which is the best song between the two albums but court has two tracks that do nothing for me while animals is consistent the whole way through so it's easy to say which i like more  :corn

Never been a huge fan of any of the bands, but really PF is the one I'm most familiar with, and Animals is probably my favorite PF album, so it gets the nod.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Court is the only album on the list I like.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

ITCOTCK is certainly the best album acronym in the history of music. That's about the best thing I can say about that album.

Thick as a Brick is good, but out of its league in a poll like this.

Genesis is, well, Genesis.

Animals is amazing in every facet. Ok, the middle section of Sheep is weak, but otherwise it is a 5 star album.

Animals, very narrowly. All four of those albums are great.

Can't decide, but I just came here to say that the thread title sounds really funny out of context.

Still Genesis. A Top 10 album overall for me.

King Crimson by about a jillion miles. Animals is alright though.

Animals and Court are head, shoulders, abdomen, penis, thighs, knees and ankles ahead of Selling and Thick (and I'm probably a bigger Genesis fan than any of the other bands).
