Two bands with a persons name in the band name, and whos music is both well produced, stunningly played, and emotional and with tremendous vocal preformances.

MMEB gets my vote.

Not a huge fan of either, but MMEB hits the spot more often. Roaring Silence, Solar Fire and Nightingales and bombers are all great albums. APP always leaves me wanting more. They don't excite me. I Robot has its moments.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I'm a fan of Manfred Mann...so they got my vote...the only Parson's album I own is I Robot....and I haven't played that in years.

I guess Parson, but neither really tickles the fancy.

I love them both, and it is MMEB only a hair over APP. Give APP more love! Cry

Hi,

Didn't vote, either. Too many good things by both, making it a no choice kind of thing. 

Although it is really hard to argue with MM's long list of hits for radio. 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I vastly prefer the sole MMEB ablum I've got (Solar Fire) to my three from APP (Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe, The Turn of a Friendly Card and Eye in the Sky), so this was an easy choice.
