"Whiskey in the Jar" is one of my favorite guitar solos of alltime.
while "Lady in Black" are some of my favorite lyrics of alltime.
I have choose Uriah. I can listen to late 70s Heep and some 80s Heep toa greter degree than late
70s Lizzy.

| Very difficult, but I voted Thin Lizzy. I saw them live in 1977 and they were fantastic live! |

Well, Thin Lizzy aren't Prog-Related or Proto-Prog, but I'd say that about Uriah Heep as well .... Ducks and runs for cover out of fear of angry UH-fans.  ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

Both are not prog, but Thin Lizzy are so much better - love that band, which I can't say about UH.

I prefer Uriah Heep, but I must admit that I don't have much knowledge about Thin Lizzy. I have only an anthology ("Dedication", which is fantastic) and their magnum opus ("Live and Dangerous", simply one of the greatest live albums of all time). ------------- "He's a man of the past and one of the present" PETER HAMMILL |

I think it doesn't matter what Thin Lizzy is, anyway they were a Great Band of Hard Rock of all times!! -------------  ¡¡El Rocanrol no morirá jamás!!

I'm a Heeper, so my vote is obvious, they mixed Prog, Hard Rock and Proto Metal in an outstanding way creating a mysrterious atmosphere hardly ever achieved by another hard band. Amazing until Gary Thain left.

Yeah!! even some say they were the Fourth band along the Hard Rock History with Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath who represented in a Hard way the Prog-Rock. Great Band!!  ------------- ¡¡El Rocanrol no morirá jamás!!

| Yeah Heep for me too. Ivan sums up exactly why I love the band so much. However, I love 'Firefly' and 'Sea Of Light' as much as the earlier albums. |

oooh, that's a toughie... too close to call for me, so I won't vote.. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

As much as I love Thin Lizzy, did they made better songs than Dreammare, Stealin', Real Turned On, Tears in my Eyes and Love machine f.e.?

Almost any band is better than Heep. So Lizzy, no contest.

Tough choice. I voted for Uriah Heep in the end, one of my all time favourite bands. I like Thin Lizzy a lot but I haven't listened to all their albums yet. But fortunately time is on my side...
