What is a moon child? A child born at night under the moon? A werewolf? A child showing his butt out the car window as he drives by an opposing high school? Whatever a Moonchild is, many artists have been inspired to perform songs titled as such. Which of these is your favorite? How many of these have you actually heard other than the first one, which is quite love it or hate it? -------------

oh that's a toughie... comes down to Fripp or Gibson... so when the music cancels out... you have to dig deeper... when put this way... it is a no brainer.. who would you rather spend an evening with.. getting your ear talked off all night about pseudo-philosophical principals of the nature of modern prog or spending a wonderful evening with a wholesome young American lady.. the answer?... easy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IISZ8iqJkB0 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IISZ8iqJkB0 ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I can remember going to the CD store back in the day and they had a sticker on one of Debbie Gibson's CDs that said something along the lines of "You can take Debbie Gibson home with you for $9.99". We thought that was a pretty good rate. Anyhow, not as good as Micky's YouTube link, but here is a link to her song in question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36kjyfHV79o - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36kjyfHV79o -------------

| I've heard the ones by King Crimson, Iron Maiden, Fields of the Nephilim, Chris Cornell and Captain Beefheart, out of which the one by Fields of the Nephilim is the most constantly brilliant. |

even considering the last 10 min its still King Crimson's Moonchild
the first 2 1/2 minutes are just that good -------------  Time always wins. |

I have only heard the King Crimson one. I didn't even know any of the other ones existed prior to this thread.

I've heard KC, Maiden, Nephilim and the Rory Gallagher. Out of the four I voted Maiden 'cos I'm one of apparently many here who doesn't much like the Crimson track. ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

I wonder which one that is Robert
 .Incidentally, I've heard only 3 of these. Of those I prefer Iron Maiden's.

Rory Gallagher's since Crimson did need any help. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

John Zorn - an unholy alliance of Mike Patton's wordless vocals plus bass and drums, with Zorn acting as conductor. The follow up, Astronome, is even better.

Well - I have heard 4 of them and the best is still KC. Thanks Dean, for posting the Neffs video. They would be a close second. -------------
