Which "FLY" tune do you prefer?
The one by Destra in 2005 or the one by Burning Flames (Onika) in 2002?

I pick the one by Destra cause its more melodic and it has more drive in the tune. The one by Flames felt like it was missing a few things like maybe a more enticing riddim and more use of background vocals.

So this shows some of you that I don't see everything that they do as gold when compared to anyone else.

*ahem*

I also like "Fly" by Destra much more. I think the singing is better, the melody, I really love the lyrics and the Rock and Roll elements used in the tune.

I must say ya used to be a bit overbearing on the Flames talk...so I probably paid less attn to them for that. But I've since tried to keep an open ear on them. I still don't like Oungku voice, and still prefer the older tunes when Onyan was w/ them. As far as the songs you just mentioned, both are mediocre at best.

I like Onyan's singing more than Oungku's but I like them most when they sing together. And I really juss can't explain my fanaticism about this band.
