Barlow's really underrated. Funny that he played on one of Yngwie's albums. |
And with Robert Plant too. Superb drummer.

Marathon is my favourite song off PW, but I love Stormwatch a whole lot more overall, so my vote goes to Orion. Barrie drum’s hard on this one

"Orioooon" Just so much better, although Marathon is one of the best Power Windows songs.

Neither are the most memorable of songs from these great bands. I'll go with Orion as I saw Tull for the first time at the Manchester Apollo on the Stormwatch tour and have a soft spot for that album and its bleak/coastal feel - even it is perceived by most (including myself perhaps) as the lesser of the folk-rock trilogy with Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. It was also my favourite constellation when I was a junior astronomer (oh dear....geek/nerd alert, I know!)

Had to vote Orion because of seeing the constellation after the show.

Some humor(?) should remain north of the border where it's considered funny.

Didn't they change the name of 'Marathon' to 'Snickers'?
