I love both, but "moo".  Henry Cow is on too high a pedestal in my collection (some use CD racks, I use pedestals).

Amon Duul II for me. But both bands are unique and fun in their own ways.

Both bands are great. I guess it just comes down to a preference of RIO to psych for me. Henry Cow it is!

All four of their albums are probably in my top 25 albums. LOL

Very innovative groups here, the founder of the RIO movement and one of the most important Krautrock bands of all time. Both are unique and can easily put off the faint of heart, but which is your favorite and why?

I wonder which one I voted for. WinkLOL


Please: If you are not familiar with one or both of the band's material, I urge that you use the links provided and at least listen to the samples on their respective pages.
