PF by a mile. Nothing against Snow Goose, but WYWH is a Desert Island Disk for me.

The Snow Goose is the most perfect album ever recorded. I can listen to it over and over again and it never gets stale. The playing, composition and emotion are unrivalled. No other piece of music has ever told a story without words, using musical motifs instead, except Peter and the Wolf, which is simplistic by comparison.

I don't really rate WYWH as being amongst Floyd's best albums and it isn't in the same league as the Snow Goose.

Actually better than I remember it - not bad at all.  Just doesn't grab me in the way it obviously does to Herc.

I guess I can describe it as a nice, pleasant album.

yeah..  pretty much sums up my thoughts.

I think Raff puts it on occasionally.. I wouldn't know.. if it isn't Mirage.. which actually has some bite and some balls... it all sounds the same to me. Sleepy  Not as bad as Genesis of course.. but still...LOL

I wonder what the odds will be that ELP and Camel will face each other in the upcoming battle of the albums contest.  A 3rd time WILL be a charm damnit... Angry

Read Gallico's novella.

Once you've done that, it all makes sense.

There were no other albums released in 1975 that I know of besides WYWH. Wink

WYWH isn't my favourite album but I'll chose it over the 'snoozefest' that is SnoozeGoose

True, nice little story, you can read it about half an hour.

As for the poll:
Shine On You Crazy Diamond > all of Snow Goose > rest of WYWH
Really hard, wouldn't know for which one to vote.
