KEEL vs KIX vs HELIX

[stubul]

Which one is your favorite(and why)?

[AlphaMale]

KIX by a HUGE HUGE HUGE margin. KIX was one of the greatest bands ever!!

[Geoff]

Keel for me. I really like all their discs whilst Kix have a few misses and although I don't dislike anything I have heard from Helix, the overall quality is not as strong as the best of the other two.

 

1. Keel

2. Kix

3. Helix

 

But I like all 3 bands.

[Evil Rick]

Love them all but went with Helix.

[JamesEagle]

Keel, purely based on their self-titled album, which I love and prefer to anything by the other 2 bands.

[Fat Freddy]

Love me some Kix so they got my vote. Keel was a decent band too but their catalog is hit or miss.

 

Never had much use for Helix aside from their singles. I don't DISlike'em but I never felt particularly compelled to start collecting their stuff.

[Metal 4 Ever]

They all have about an equal amount of great songs, but Helix (for me) has the least amount of bad ones,

[phaffas]

Only ever listened to Kix...

[martinsane]

Kix easily, even though Helix is very very excellent and a close 2nd!!

 

Keel is not in the same league as those 2 bands. Now don't get all uppity, but the only memorable tune for me from Keel was "The Right To Rock" and that is pretty cartoonish compared to most of the catologue of Kix and Helix.

[bangerdave]

Keel for me as they have that harder edge but i like Kix and i don't mind some of Helix's material.

[Dead Planet]

Helix is the easy pick for me...although I like the other 2 bands, just not as much...

[heaven&hell]

Keel is my pick with Kix second.

I loved everything Keel did including some projects after the band like Cold Sweat Medicine Wheel Fair Game and Saber Tiger. Kix from Midnight Dynamite on was great but can take or leave the early stuff. Helix made those four great albums in a row but man they made some dreadful cds later on.

[Nick C]

Kix by a mile - much as I like some songs of the other two their albums always seemed a little patchy to me.

[LV KIX]

Well... I had to go with KEEL on this one.... just behind KIX.

 

I like all three bands. I'd be interested to know why you picked these 3 bands.

[5150]

Kix ,Helix, Keel in that order for me. Kix just had much more (quantity) of better songs. Blow My fuse is there best followed by Midnite Dynamite.

[The Rocker]

This is a tough one, but I will say Keel, Kix, Helix. Keel's s/t and Kix Blow My Fuse are pretty equal for me(both AWESOME!). Over all I do like more Keel songs than kix, and Helix is very hit and miss.

[cdjunky41]

KIX!

 

Helix a close second (Great live bands, but Kix was better). Keel would come in third..

[Studboy]

1. Keel

2. Kix

3. Helix

 

The Right To Rock is the best CD of all these 3 bands.

[marksherrer]

Keel

[eaglesfan3000]

Keel

Helix

Kix

 

Keel by a land slide. They are heavier, more polished and more talented than the other two.

[Dark Star]

KIX for Me.. Though the first few Keel records are DAMN good.. And, like Keith, I Never really got into Helix.. Sure their singles are pretty cool, but I Never saw a reason to go out and buy their entire catalog or anything....

[JLPRocks]

KEEL, Kix and then Helix........the newest CD by KEEL is pretty darn good too!

[FredGarvin]

Kix easily. Ron Keel's voice annoys me. Helix is OK, but not great.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Umm...

KIX!!!!

Probably a little biased, considering I know their catalogue much better than the other two, but that does not detract anything from the fact that KIX still! kick ass! Their live show, which I witnessed for the first time on the MOR Cruise, blew me away! They are so fu*king tight, Steve's probably the best frontman I've ever seen, and Jimmy's a little monster behind the kit. All I can think about is next year's cruise, and seeing these bastards again.

 

Also, to answer the question why these three bands were selected: my speculation is that the name KIX is a combination of Keel and Helix.

[Doksdad]

Keel

Helix

Kix

 

Love all three bands.
