I still don't have a few albums, but A Farewell To Kings and Permanent Waves are my 2 favorites, so odds win.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with the odds too.  CoS, AFTK, PW, Counterparts -- definitely the odds.

Evens, in spite of one of my favorites, Counterparts, being in Odds. It's just a stronger overall lineup.

Evens, yo.  Swap Counterparts with T4E and you've got my desert island Rush discs.

Five of my favorites on each side, so I can't vote.

Hmmmm, interesting thing to think about.  I will do this methodically:

s/t vs. FbN: Edge to FbN (even)
Cos vs. 2112: Edge to 2112 (even)
AFtk vs. Hemis.: Edge to Hemis. (even)
PeW vs. MP: Edge to PeW (odd)
Signals vs. P/G: Edge to P/G (even)
Pow vs. HYF: Edge to PoW (odd)
Presto vs. RtB: Edge to RtB (even)
CP vs. TfE: Edge to CP (odd)
VT vs. S&A: Edge to S&A (even)

Looks like the even wins it by a score of 5-3, but odds do have three of my top five (PeW, PoW and CP), so it is pretty close, either way.
