I was inspired by my previous poll, freshly done, about Polish bands - because their national flag is just red-white coloured (together with Canada, Japan, Monaco etc.).
Another meanings of "Red & White":
etc... As for music: that's evident it's about two iconic albums of whole Rock history: while The Beatles "White Album" is undoubtedly far more famous to general public, on the other hand King Crimson's "Red" is one of the best Prog albums ever. So, what's actually your preference?------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

I wouldn't be without both albums in my collection.

Tough, tough poll. Both are favourites of mine, but I'll go for Red because it has no weak tracks on it. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

I addition for "other meaning of red & white" made me laugh. Voted for The Beatles because i want to be the first.  ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Though simple, I like the color combination. Voted "Both."  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Gotta give the edge to Red; it's a great album from start to finish. The White Album is a great album, but there is is some filler there and Number 9 is unlistenable. ------------- http://martinwebb.bandcamp.com The notes are just an interesting way to get from one silence to the next - Mick Gooderick |

I was tempted to vote "both", but the Beatles included Obladi Oblada on their white album, so I voted red. And I seriously mean that there’s nothing that can compare to Starless on the Beatles album.

| Red easily for me. Though the white album has "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" and a few other good songs... Red has "Starless", and just about the rest of the album is very good too (though I must confess I haven't gotten much into "Providence"). |

| Red is more consistent but in reality I play White more. Vote is for both. |

| A lot of respect to The Beatles,but KC did Starless so I guess they get my vote.. |

| The White Album of course! It was actually one of the first albums of rock/pop music I ever listened to. Nr 9 left a big impression on me as a kid! My dad was a musical snob and only had classical music in his collection with the exception of a few Beatles Albums. |

No, the Blue's better  But as it comes to the music: I choose Red. The White Album: I don't understand why so many people have that as their favorite Beatles album. I like Pepper and especially Abbey Road much more. |

Both are four star albums in my book, but the Beatles album is ... closer to the heart. -------------

The White Album has more to offer, more to explore. Red, as an album, is all a bit predictable actually. Starless is wonderful, of course.

Red. Actually I share George Martin's opinion about White. Half of it should've never saw the light of day. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/javier0889 |
