OR





Both are wonderful tracks, I think, though I slightly prefer Paper Hats by This Heat. Just slightly though.

And yes I realize that there is no overarching theme behind this poll. it is nothing. Just a survey about two songs. Wonderful, eh?

Excellent poll!
 
Both tracks feature on brilliant albums, but Paper Hats gets my vote. Paper House is one of the lesser tracks on Tago Mago, but Paper Hats is one of the highlights of Deceit..

I really like both tracks but I vote for Paperhouse. Suzuki's vocals and Karoli's guitar are sublime as is Jaki Liebezeit's drumming.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Too bad more people aren't voting.

I guess that perhaps not too many people have heard both of them. I hadn't heard of This Heat until about a month ago.

Still, as I said, both are brilliant.

This Heat might be a bit fringe even for this site, and although Tago Mago is a krautrock classic I would still say that only a relatively small subset would have heard both songs.

I've have both these albums but haven't listened to them enough to form a decent opinion, so I'll abstain from voting.

Yes I rather figured this, haha. My mad face was a bit of a joke. Should've followed it wit ha wink face or something. Ah well. Both songs rock.

I haven't heard either so I'd have to vote for Paperlate from Genesis, but since we are avoiding Yes/Genesis polls then forget that I said that. Wink

I guess I could've included more paper-oriented songs...but these two were specifically in my mind...

And yes, we, meaning I, am avoiding Yes/Genesis polls.

Especially since I don't really like Yes that much.

I like Deceit (and this track) alot.
 
Paperhouse is pretty cool. But I think This Heat will win for me.
 
Surprising being I like Can more. Tongue

Stand alone I would take Paper Hats, but prefer 'Tago Mago' over 'Deceit'.

edit: for some reason I cannot vote.

Strange...I wonder why?
