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.

This one sounds like what would have happened if the Pet Shop Boys had been a Prog act.

The Minotaur's Song is of course hopelessly similar to The Lumberjack Song.
Although it might predate it.
