I went with Portishead, it's an absolutely stellar track. I like me some Hendrix too, but I'm gonna keep it interesting.

I may just do this every couple of days instead of once a week. Yeah I think Hendrix will win but it's all a bit of fun and who knows you may hear some new toons along the way!

Portishead. I'm not wacky about that specific Hendrix song, and the riff from Portishead's Machine Gun is incredible.

I like this weekly thread idea alot, maybe next week you could do Holiday by The Beach Boys, Green Day, Weezer, and Atlas Sound, a song vs. song vs. song vs. song.

I have found a few tracks that have 2, 3 and even 4 artists so I may well do that.

I do love a bit of Hendrix, but Portishead hands down. Such a good song.

After deliberation I have gone for Portishead. As much as I like the Hendrix track, The PH track is simple but extremely effective and kudos to them for having the balls for making something anti commercial when they could have easily created another 'Coffee table top' album and raked in the cash.

That's really not one of Hendrix's better songs IMO and I like the Portishead song a lot so definitely Portishead for me.

So Jackhammer, are you going to do Metallica's "One" versus U2's "One" at some point. :D

Its simplicity is brutal. Cold, stark and aggressive; i think its a beautifully artistic piece personally.

I agree. And it's a little outside the box for Portishead which I also appreciate about it.

:eek: Two not very good songs together! Who knows eh?
