Robbie Robin Williamson and Mike Heron always brought their own songs to the Incredible String band, and both have a long history of solo work, but which is better?

I am going for Heron because he's named after a supermarket, whereas the other one's named after the star of Mork and Mindy.

The Minotaur's Song is of course hopelessly similar to The Lumberjack Song.

Heron

I have now sat through four minutes the whole of each track and have concluded that I prefer the first one. The second one seemes totally aimless.
