Like both songs, but BOC wins easily.

Absolutely love Astronomy. One of my favourite songs.

First time hearing that BOC song. Pretty good, but not nearly as interesting or as intricate as Mariabronn.

Journey From Mariabronn wins here for me

 

The instruments and arrangement are killer, plus, I'm a sucker for the whole Hermann Hesse element

Astronomy . That song RULES.

BÖC, obviously.

[HemiBeers]

Not even close.

 

Mariabronn kicks it from 0:01 where BOC is a snoozer...all I hear in Astronomy is Em - C - D chord progressions which are boring and easy (hey!).

 

I realize this is a 1974 comparison, but it's not really a fair comparison. Kansas is one of the prog innovators where BOC is just another rock band IMO.

You simply need to "Let Go."

 

 

"B.O.C. You can be whatever you want to be. You got the power, we got the key, yeah B.O.C."

[RUSHHEAD666]

B.O.C. > KANSAS

[RUSHHEAD666]

"Secret Treaties" > "Kansas"

[ozzy85]

BOC. Even the Metallica cover is pretty good.

 

Thanks to Lanier on the piano.
