The battle of the "Accolades"! 1 Vs 2

[ProgMetalFan]

Which "Accolade" do you prefer? The first one from "Divine Wings" or the sequel found on "The Odyssey"?

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

The original. Though I love both.

I agree.

[jkohn]

me too

 

[†Russel Allen†®]

I voted for the first one, too...

 

[Frightened Shadow]

The first one.

 

[TrevJ]

The first one is more bester.

The best part of this thread is the title of the poll, 'tis funny.

 

[blackstaRR]

Definitely the original, though I hate that fucking aaa-aaa-aauuu-uuu part. Partly rapes that otherwise marvellous song.

 

[BastrdDrmr]

I think the chorus in the second one is better, even though the first one is better overall.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

The second one, I never liked Accolade I too much

 

[Demonspell]

The first one...that classical interlude is Romeo's most successful venture into symphonic adaptation...

 

[w453angel]

How do you truly compare 2 incredible songs?!?!?!?!

 

[Lady Of The Snow]

BOTH are great songs! I can't really decide, so I won't vote.
The original was awesome already, and has planted itself well into my ears. But....

...the chorus of Accolade II, oooh, that chorus.....

 

[HateCrewDeathroll]

The first one is a lot better.

 

[Demonspell]

Accolade II is also masterful...the verses are enchanting, the elements from the oriiginal are incorporated perfectly and avoid sounding like a lame attempt at duplicating a classic, the solo has to be one of Romeo's best, and that last chorus is heavenly...

Agreed, on all counts.

 

[Draconian Demon]

the third one

Well, the keyboard interlude in the first one is timeless, but the solo in the second one is better...so I do not know. So I will not vote.

 

[joeshabadoo]

first one is better overall, but I aint hating on the second one. However, I do feel that Accolade II is the weakest track on The Odyssey. (Not saying its bad)

 

[korruption]

Can't answer that- though I can say if they repeated the chorus in Accolade II as many times as in the first, Accolade II would surely win.
