goose Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The Kansas song has a bit more going on that interests me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Gona go Kansas. but it's really close. i love the Chorus of Iron Maiden's song. but in the end......Kansas's Icarus takes me more places. Mick 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST3V Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I never listen to Icarus without listening to Icarus II afterwards. 2 of the best Kansas songs out there, the 2nd is right up there in the same level of greatness with the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Maiden for me That was the first Maiden single cover I'd ever seen - and I really started enjoying Derek Rigg's work. Not just because it was about Eddie or the band...but because Derek's art seemed to create a world that an Eddie could exist in. There are apparently a couple of the EP or single covers he painted that are different points of view of the same place. That sort of continuity works for me.

grep Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 BTW, I chose Kansas. I like the proggier direction and themes little better. But it's a close call..... there's nothing wrong with the Maiden classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Maiden, but it has to be a live version. The studio version of Icarus is just too slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
