The Prog Wars Round 1: Tarkus Vs The Marsian Tripod!
by Guest Mon Apr 29, 2019 10:56 pm
Between the thing from ELP's Tarkus or the tripod from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds?

I don't think Tarkus would stand a chance.

The Manticore beat Tarkus and I think The Martian walker would totally take out the Manticore.

I think the tripod would shoot the tank before it got close enough to do anything.

OK, a win for the Martian tripod.
Now...
Giant apocalyptic taloned claw from Magma's debut LP "Magma"...
Or...
The giant electrified, vortex-generating Phoenix-like bird from the Kansas LP "Leftoverture Live & Beyond"?

The phoenix because the giant claw doesn't have eyes or a brain.

The Claw because it's crushing building, while the phoenix is about the same size as a spinning LP.

I think this is a tough one.
Obviously the Magma cover only features a claw, but that's obviously all we can see and therefore it's clearly some kind of gargantuan bird of prey capable crushing an entire city in one talon-load.
On the other hand the Kansas Electro-Vortex-Phoenix whilst not as big (perhaps the size of a large building rather than a city) appears to have the power to create a maelstrom into another dimension which could have a bearing on any kind of conflict between the two.
That said, I think that the vortex would be too small to affect the giant clawed space-eagle.
It might drag a clump of its feather off into Dimension X, but I reckon it'd be no more than a minor inconvenience.
Ultimately, The Claw - even if it's only a claw and not attached to a gigantic mega-astro-buzzard - would just crush it flat.

Are they fighting each other, or taking on the Martian tripod which won the previous bout?

Can we have the Wasp thing from Nektar's A Spoonful of Time fight the Octopus from the Gentle Giant's, err Octopus album?

Wait, we haven't got a final decision on the Claw vs Phoenix yet!
