This might make some Moonchild haters think twice.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Moonchild is the bomb. APB not so much.

The last few times I heard Alan's Psichedelic Breakfast, I actually found the music rather pretty... too bad about the breakfast sounds breaking the song in parts... so I ended up voting for it... even if I really like well enough the "song" part of Moonchild.

APP is a suite of nice songs strung together by breakfast sounds, which I could do without. I have always found Moonchild a gorgeous song, even when it rambles. Voted Moonchild.

I also like Moonchild a lot; Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast does absolutely nothing for me.

I love Moonchild and have often explained why. the much hated section of it is an attempt to express the lyrics instrumentally. there are a lot of lines for which this is in my opinion obvious, for example the line "waiting for a smile from a sunchild", which is a metaphor for the sunrise. in classical music the sunrise is always depicted by a C-major chord; examples are Haydn's oratorio "Die Schöpfung" ("The Creation"), Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite" or Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra". and how does Moonchild end? with a C-major chord. and this is just one example

Not a hater of either, but Moonchild is the clear winner for me.

I quite like both. But I have always been more fascinated with Moonchild.
