Default Song Vs Song.

Same song Title. Two different artists. which do you prefer and why? I will put a poll up and after a week proffer another pair of tracks. Suggestions are welcome but please don't post actual vids or I will just remove them I will include no cover versions either.

First pair for your deliberation. Machine Gun.




Unfortunately I like both and like them for different reasons but more thoughts later.

Gotta give it to Hendrix. That's one of the better Portishead tracks I've heard but I'm not a big fan.

jackhammer, omg, i read this 8 times and I don't know what you're asking me. Do i critique the two performances, or do I draw up what I'd imagine to be the love child of these two acts version of the song its just not clear...

Portis Head.

What's the better song? Simple as that. Same song titles but different artists and genres.

Hendrix

I don't mind Postishead but that song just gets on my nerves.

I like a bit of Portishead every now and then, but the Hendrix tune is the better one by miles.

I do like some Portishead, but that song is not working out for me so much. It definitely can't compete with what has to be one of my favorite Hendrix songs.
