More is criminally under-appreciated and I think it's miles better than the studio disc of Ummagumma.
 
However, the live disc of Ummagumma is simply mindblowing.  Four classics, all much better than their studio versions.  I suppose that has to secure the vote, but only just.

Ummagumma, but just because of the Live album, which is excellent. The studio disc has some good parts, but More is better than it.

Ummagumma has a great live disc, but the studio dosent interest me at all.  More just falls completely flat lol, i cant stand even listening to it anymore!

Ummagumma, the studio disc is good, but the live disc makes it excellent.

Ummagumma

I've only just discovered this poll. Seems like an interesting idea. Will follow with interest. :)

I voted for More too. To bad the recording is a bit amateurish.

I can't vote again. I won't vote up to Dark Side, likely.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

More is on the bottom of my list of PF albums, but still a good album.

Ummagumma is my favourite PF album save one (Wish You Were Here), and not only because of the live tracks. The studio tracks are at least as interesting.

Ummagumma. That´s bad album though, but just better than the weakest one of early Floyds - More.
