half of you have tin ears! it’s Uranus! That’s the correct answer! It sounds like a dinosaur made of steampunk junk dancing and falling apart as it dances!

We love it, and we'd love it even more if it didn't feel to us like a very clever riff on the Sorcerer's Apprentice! (Which we also love, to be fair.)
Uranus is my favourite, in part because it's underplayed and good fun and a little gremliny, but we get pretty powerful visualisations with Jupiter.
@futurebird My intro to this work was the synthesizer version by Tomita that I bought in the early 80s for ethereal sounding music to use for a school project — I ended up loving the album and listening to it often as a teenager on the cassette I recorded it to.
@futurebird uranus is so underrated! Yeah it's kinda copying the sorcerer's apprentice but it's original enough to justify its existence. Plus, I've played it in youth orchestra and the bass part is fun :)

I mean, there are differences, but you need to have some familiarity with both pieces to recognize them. That's not to say the differences are insignificant; Williams' changes better suit the theme of the empire.
