Bit of a shock result building up there...

Heh, only one more misguided person than Midnight Surfer fan so far.  And that'll just be Colin McNeil voting :p

It was 4-5 last time I looked.

I fail to see any debate here, Midnight Surfer is miles better.

The Fountain of Yooth. 'Nuff said.

If I knew what the difference was, it might help me make up my mind in the voting.

Horses for courses, lads.  'Midnight' is 'Alien', all finely honed understated monotone perfection,  'Song' is 'Aliens', shocking widescreen visuals, blood and shrapnel and deep bass 'spolsions.  On different days, each suits a mood.  
But...

I can recall the exact moment I opened the first pages of 'Midnight Surfer', wandering through a supermarket carpark on a Friday afternoon, heading over to a mate's house.  In one of those hard-to-credit-in-retrospect moments, flicking through that momentous prog, I remember looking at that first full-length Kennedy drawing of the great man on his board, and thinking "Fuck! That's Chopper!".  Yer actual thrillpower  in action.

 Weeks later, the hair rose on the the back of my neck again as Tom Frame's 'Chopper!' multiplied to fill in the space behind Joe and Marlon as they walk towards the catchwagon.  "Now the whole city would know his name!".  Utter bloody class.

Still, if the little blighter had stayed dead at the end of 'Song', I might have voted differently.

I havn't actually read either. But Midnight Surfer is a better name.
