I never liked either of them. For An Angel sounds like cheesy pop tune to me (lacks only Madonna vocal over that piano ),and NBY sounds like... well, another cheesy pop tune.

I like them about equally. They're on the list of cheese tracks that I can enjoy from time to time for some reason or another. Personally, though, I prefer tracks like Seven Ways. Much better feel in tracks like that.
I've never gotten tired of For An Angel, and it's still among my favorite PvD productions ever. In the past few years the track has lost some favor among trance fans, but it still resonates as deeply with me as it always has. This puts me in an uncomfortable position, because I like a ton of old progressive trance, but For An Angel is widely derided by other veterans as overblown and intolerably epic. There are many trance productions I now look back on with some embarrassment, but For An Angel was never tossed out of my list. In fact, it's an exception among my long-time favorites.
I never really understood how it achieved such widespread recognition; this was never really a factor in me liking it or not liking it. I still enjoy it, and that's that. ::shrug::

Nothing But You has its moments, but at the end of the day it's just a soulless ripoff of Arctic. It has no feeling compared to older PvD productions, and was obviously designed with dollars and dancefloors in mind.
