Both. Simply because both bands please me without specific merits!

Like both bands, but IMO Vanilla Fudge has accomplished more overall. In A Gadda Da Vida is huge, but the rest of Iron Butterfly catalogue is not so good as Vanilla Fudge catalogue.

Bogert and Appice ruled with the Fudge. Never liked Butterfly , sorry. |
Same for me.
Vanilla fudge were way ahead of their time on their first two releases, really stunning material. Iron butterfly really pale compared to them.

Doesn't Iron fudge weigh heavy on ones stomach?

Vanilla Fudge have an overall better catalogue such as Beatles covers and You Keep me Hangin On. However Iron Butterfly's In a Gadda Da Vida is simply legendary so I am not sure - at a stab I say Vanilla Fudge... only just.

I like both, but if push came to shove, it'd be Iron Butterfly

Hi,
IB was way more important than VF ever was ...
IB also was one of the very first things to help start/inaugurate FM radio in those days, when it was known for "long cuts", a lot of which became the very fabric of the progressive stuff that we love so much.
VF was more of a party band and noise by comparison. And they were not worth it in concert. You should have saved your money and gone to see Spirit or even It's a Beautiful Day.
VF had songs. IB had music!

VF all the way
I only like IB's debut album and Metamorphosis as well, but it doesb't come close to Renaissance and Near The Beginning

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
