| No contest here, never liked the Clap much, it's badly recorded and doesn't stand out for me at all. Mood For A Day is excellent. Like I said, no contest. |

Clap for Micky. Love the appalachian favour to it.
Bluegrass is one of my non-prog loves and Clap just makes me want to
break out the 'air' accoustic. Though Mood for a Day is great as well ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

my 'air' drums are far better than my 'air' acoustic.  I got so good, I got a real drumset hahhaha.Another point for Clap.... isn't that the sweetest lead-in to Starship Trooper.

The Clap isn't badly recorded at all you madman! Bow your head in shame!!! I vote for The Clap, such a fun track, and so tricky! I can play Mood for a Day, I love it. But I don't think i'll ever be able to play The Clap ------------- My computer's broke |

I gotta go with "Clap". Any other guitarists out there been able to duplicate it yet? I can play Mood For A Day reasonably well, but Clap...forget it. I have heard it called one of the most difficult acoustic guitar pieces in rock history, and I'd be inclined to agree.

What the f*ck? Are you people TOTALLY shallow idiots? They are both fine Steve Howe acoustic pieces from two of the finer albums, from one of the top pioneering, most original prog bands ever! WHY CHOOSE? If I were at a Yes concert, I'd be equally glad to see Howe do either one! Are you a statistician, or a radio programmer? Are you deciding which song to record, continue liking, or something? WTF is this obsession with turning art into a sporting event? Is EVERYTHING a competition these days? (Will America "win" -- in the end?) A very juvenile way to look at the world!
WWF Prog!
F*CK!!!
Sorry. I will never understand the popularity of this type of absolutely POINTLESS poll!

That IS the point, dude! You & I are wasting our time arguing over pointless crap instead of listening to good PROG!

I was about to post the same poll, I guess great minds think alike ;) Mood For A Day just's got that intro I like. They're both great though. What about "Horizons"? Not as difficult or complex, but I like it a lot too. ------------- http://www.soundclick.com/rosescar/ - My music! "THE AUDIENCE WERE generally drugged. (In Holland, always)." - Robert Fripp |

Er... yes -- or perhaps de-alcoholized beer! That was rather strongly worded, wasn't it? I still feel the same about all these silly "which is best" polls, but I apologize for coming on so forcefully back there.

hahaha, I rather you stick to flaming threads than switch to non-alchoholic beer. Urrggg. For what it's worth... there have been worse threads than this. At least both of these songs have something in commen. Thanks for not flaming my 'which do you prefer' thread  ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

sometimes my humor hits, and sometimes
it doesn't. Remember the time I joked about prog fans and drug
use back in the 70's (while arguing about Genesis), and Ivan torched me
thinking I was saying Genesis fans were dope fiends. Oh well ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I think they're two different sides of a great guitar player, one fun, the other reflective. >>>BOTH GREAT ------------- "my kingdom for a horse!" (W. Shakespeare, "Richard III") |

I'll second that! I love them both too: Clap because it's fun, and Mood because it's a little more introspective. I do tend to lean toward the Classical guitar sound in Prog (esp Hackett and Oldfield when they use it). I learnt a little bit of classical guitar, so my vote actually went for Mood.

I don't much like the clap, myself. Upon arrival, it gives pleasure, but after, is a pain in the dong....

I wouldn't -- that'll just put me in a mood for a day!
Didn't see that one coming, did you?
Ah yes -- the old "fish-slapping dance...."

micky Uh oh: tell-tale demonic laugh, Beastly, apocalyptic post count number, a name that contains "M - ICKY" - as in "I'm Icky" (or possibly "I'M Crimson King Yahahaha"), a title ("Senior Member") that unscrambles to form "O Remember Sin" and an avatar that conveniently gets cut off near the top of the head right where the horns would be....
Don't sign any "contracts" with old Nick Scratch here, progholes -- it could mean your very soul!
"Hahahahahahahahahahaaaa! Been listening to Dream Theater and Opeth, have you, silly mortal? You're mine now! Prog metal plays ENDLESSLY in my Infernal Realm! More death growls! MORE!"
Sigh -- I tried to warn them.... ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
Gulp! Just who have I been chumming around with here?

First off, I went for Mood for a Day. Secondly, the name of the song is Clap, not The Clap. As my colleague Peter has pointed out, The Clap is not nearly as much fun as Clap. |

I'd be honored to one day be able to toss a few back with you hahahha. You have my warped sense of humor, you however are actually funny, I just try to be.
