I have no opinion on either of these. I may have heard em at one point, but I honestly can't remember.

Perhaps unfairly biased, Heep is easier to air guitar and sing along to in the car than Squire.
Salisbury for me.

At school cafeterias I was more partial to salisbury steak burgers than fish sticks (neither doing us kids much favor in the health and taste department), so yeah, same with the music.
Salisbury.

bah.. tired of sitting.
Going with the sentimental over quality. Two moments of brilliance on Salisbury give it my vote over the more consistent but not quite as fiery FOOW. Hey. I'm an ELP fan. Consistency isn't what drives my bus.. give me great heights... and I can forgive the times it then may fall a bit short.

Two moments of brilliance ? Presumably instrumental ? I find myself listening to bits and piecs of Salisbury thinking to myself, "hey this is OK, nice playing". Then that 'orrible 'orrible Byron fellow has to open his bloody mouth. Man that is simply awful. 'uckin terrible. I'd rather listen to Mercury or even Plant. Oh well, marching out of step with the rest of humanity is probably what I do best but I have simply never understood why the guy with his goolies caught in a threshing machine sound is so popular.
So even if I didn't like FOOW , which I do, I'd have to vote for it. It's a nice album though like the solo work of many member's of great bands it does luck that certain dynamic that made e.g the best of Yes so glorious.

Good tracks, both of them but neither have the thresher vocals. Particularly LIB.

The Park is great, but I can't listen to that two-chord song Lady in Black anymore. Bird of Prey and Salisbury are also powerful tracks.

well, this is one of the band's more varied records.
Love both the harder and the softer parts.

Chris Squire, Fish Out of Water.

When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

I think my review says it all, though I also like the Heep album.
