Gepetto 1,443 Posted September 26 google AI Whether "Burning Heart" or "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is better is a subjective opinion, though "Eye of the Tiger" is more well-known and was a bigger hit. Both are iconic theme songs for the Rocky franchise, with "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky III being an anthem for personal triumph and "Burning Heart" from Rocky IV serving as a geopolitical anthem reflecting the Cold War.

Fnord 2,472 Posted September 26 I don't know which one is better, but I know I've heard Eye of the Tiger enough times that I don't ever wanna hear it again. I'm not there yet with Burning Heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
