Both songs are good imo. I’ve been playing/singing them on guitar lately and their chords are essentially the same, just arranged differently…

Fade = A E Bm
Wicked = Bm A E

Both songs are silky smooth and mellow.

Wicked Game gets my vote.

Fade Into You

But Wicked Game is a really good song. The video and song are so seductive. I’d say it was ahead of it’s time.
Fun fact- the girl in the video is supermodel Helena Christensen who was also Michael Hutchence girlfriend.
Wicked Game

my love for Hope tells me to pick Fade into You.

The guitar sound tells me to pick Wicked Game

what if the singers switched songs?

I could see Hope doing both

not sure I can get into Chris doing Fade Into You.

Michael Hutchence dated a lot of high profile, high maintenance women. That’s enough to lead any man to the rope.

You ever seen Jack Black sing "Wicked Game" . It's good but it is just funny when you keep flashing back to the video in you mind.

Tenacious D - Wicked Game

Oh crap Tenacious D made a video. it's gross and hilarious.
Wicked Game....watch at your own peril

I think Fade Into You is the better song.

But, Wicked Game is the better panty dropper, so it gets my vote.

Great song comparison, and like others, hard to pick. Gotta go with Wicked Game myself. Got to see Chris Isaak at Jazz Fest a couple of years ago sing it.

They actually do a good job when playing it in the studio.

Fade Into You captures the essence of moody, atmospheric mid-80’s music.

In a way, Wicked Game does as well… it was released in 89, but didn’t become a hit until 1990.
