Atomic Rooster - but they are not as commercial as Heep so no way they will win this sadly

Not a big fan of either, but they both have some stuff I like, more stuff from Atomic Rooster though, so they get my vote...

The Heep although they should have called it quits years ago.

Both had/have great Roger Dean's cover designs,great guitarists(Box/John Du cann),they also played/play excellent heavy prog(Uriah Heep is more about concept albums though)but Vincent Crane was a great keyboard player.Atomic Rooster wins in OT.

Uriah Heep for me, I'm big fan of the band, but AR is a great band aswell, little underrated IMO.

Uriah Heep was a great character in David Copperfield, but a fair to middling band. Still, Heep's 3 or 4 good albums are more than Rooster ever did.

Yeah? Do you mean compositionally, technically, or perhaps lyrically too? I always found some of Arthur's lyrics a little cheesy (but fun) but when I got to Rooster sometimes the more serious stuff works for me. And it's a fuller sound with AR compared to Crazy World, huh? (not that I am down on more sparse-sounding records either)

My vote goes to Uriah Heep, not so much for the music, for the longevity, the character etc. Rooster were good musicians, but splintered quickly for obvious reasons.

I don't know Uriah Heep that well, but if they have released albums I'd like nearly as much as Atomic Rooster's Death Walks Behind You, then I should check out more of them.

Atomic Rooster by a long shot-their music is much better than Heep's

Yeah, with you both there. It could have been something (else) stellar from Brown & Crane if they'd stuck together. So I guess I'm voting for UH - as I find AR a little more hit and miss across their (smaller) output, even if UH are hit and miss too, probably more memorable moments from them |

Two of the best "heavy on the Hammond" bands of the early '70's. Both declined on a musical level IMO by the mid 70's and both had numerous personnel changes throughout the '70's thus resulting in style and structural changes in thier music as the decade went on. More so for the Rooster than Heep.
The Rooster by a feather.
