Don't really think either are particularly Metal Tongue so didn't vote. Both bands are excellent but quite different.
Steve Harris is a huge Nektar fan hence the Maiden cover.

I did the same, for me Rush is very overrated.

i think they are among the heavyest of the prog bands, heavy guitar and symphonic guitar riffs rather then blues based, and as proto metal tag says mixing of pyschdelic rock and hard blues rock and Nektar is that a mix of psychadelic rock (they are much heavyer then Floyd),  and hard rock

Cool.  I was not aware of this song.   Was it a B-side on Aces High?  (I assume this based on the picture saying Aces High).
