As an overall album, I'd say that Animals takes the cake with the beautiful moments that it has (not to say that Close to the Edge doesn't have any lovely moments, just that it has less). However, this is PROG wars, and Animals is far less proggy than Close to the Edge, and as a prog album, Close to the Edge blows Animals clear out of the water. 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
