A goosefight between Jethro Tull and Manning:A well known song from the classic Aqualung (my favourite track from this album) versus a lesser known but lovely track which tells the story of the ancrestress at the root of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anser_%28bird%29" rel="nofollow - Anser 's Tree. Click http://youtu.be/LdT7dFvJ0Ew" rel="nofollow - here to listen to Mother Goose. Click http://guymanning.com/Audio%20Samples/Margaret.mp3" rel="nofollow - here to listen to Margaret Montgomery. Btw, option #3 for me. I like them equally. -------------

You mean to say "Geese and the Ghost" doesn't come into this at all? "The Snow Goose"? New Zealand band , Mother Goose" with the '77 lp, "Stuffed"? |

Welcomebacksiejacksie  , I've got a hunch that there is something familiar about you.Back to topic: I appreciate your profound knowledge of 70's music, which surpasses mine surely. The Snow Goose dangles somewhere in my top 10 or at least top 15. I have The Geese and the Ghost in my collection of vinyls as well, but I have never heard of that New Zealand band. Anyway, there are two keywords in this poll: goose is one and mother is another. And there is some musical similarity between Guy and Jethro that leaves the others behind the horizon. -------------

Although Manning's was nice and better then I expected, JT pulls off with this one. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

That's the first thing I thought of too! I would nominate the Goose for PA but don't have the time and doubt they would be accepted unless a new sub-genre was created. Though Mother Goose might fit in well alongside Split Enz, that other great eccentric NZ band? Judge for yourself - here are the Goose live in 1977: featuring a crazed entry by the band, then a ragged classical take-off, followed by a real song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snts4gnkkzk" rel="nofollow - Mother Goose : See If I Care (live 1977) And for the vote in this poll: I just listened to both nominated songs then (I know the Tull song, but not the Manning song) - and my vote has to go to "I like both", that song by Manning is a fine piece of work. ------------- Seasons Of Change - weekly programme on community radio: https://seasonsofchangeradio.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow - http://seasonsofchangeradio.blogspot.com.au/ |

Tull, no contest. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I was hoping for this to be Atom Heart Mother vs. The Snow Goose, but this will do.  I vote Mother Goose. I think it's an extremely underrated song from Jethro Tull's catalog, and one of my faves from Aqualung. ------------- Want to play mafia?

I have not experienced much of Guy Manning's music but I have liked everything I've heard, including this tune, Margaret Mitchell. I have to turn it loose, though, to Jethro Tull's Mother Goose with its wry humor. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Margaret Mitchell, hah. I've been watching too many mysteries on t.v. At least I got the 'm' right. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Jethro Tull, Mother Goose.------------- 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. |
