Here is the song I picked for today. If you missed yesterday's song you can find it here

Which Song Version Is Better (Number 36)

 

I actually had three versions in mind that I wanted to use for today's song but I could not find a clear enough video of Jimi Hendrix's version so I am just going with the two below.

 

 Today's song...

 American Woman - The Guess Who

 

 

 

 American Woman - Lenny Kravitz

 

 

Another easy decision for me today. The Guess Who gets my vote.

Who gets your vote?

Oh! I love these comparisons Chris. Gotta hurry and get home so I can listen. I sure do wish you could come up with a contest or game involving the music videos. What do you think? Ill be back in a little while to comment on the songs.

Tough one! I like both version, but I would probably have to go with the Guess Who's version as being the better one.
Holly K. Feb 26, 2009, 5:33pm EST
This is a hard one. I guess I will go with The Guess Who
Chris E. Feb 26, 2009, 5:34pm EST
Glad you are enjoying them Jen. Let me think about the contest idea.
Maggie Y. Feb 26, 2009, 5:39pm EST
I like the Lenny Kravitz version better
Rae M. Feb 26, 2009, 5:40pm EST

Mooch -. Feb 26, 2009, 5:45pm EST
who are these people/groups?
Rob Appell Feb 26, 2009, 5:48pm EST
I'm taking the Lenny Kravitz version on this...more modern and 'with it'. The Guess Who is just too old and played out.
Marianne R. Feb 26, 2009, 6:10pm EST
The Guess Who. It's a classic from my youth.
David S. Feb 26, 2009, 6:18pm EST
Can I give it a tie on this one? They are both very good in reality.
I say Lenny Kravitz~
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Feb 26, 2009, 7:02pm EST
Lenny Kravitz
Chris E. Feb 26, 2009, 7:22pm EST
Mooch you don't know who The Who is ?( The Guess Who when this song was done)
Debbie R. Feb 26, 2009, 7:30pm EST
Most definately Guess Who!
Courtney C. Feb 26, 2009, 7:40pm EST
Hmm, I like both..probably Guess Who though
The Red Headed Witch of Gather G. Feb 26, 2009, 7:48pm EST
I vote Lenny!
Angela A. Feb 26, 2009, 8:03pm EST
I like them both.
Both Lenny Kravitz edged The Guess who out by a narrow margin!

The Guess Who's version has more soul (especially if you listen to the opening which was left off the video posted here). Lenny Kravitz's version I liked for the raw guitar, but I feel it didn't have the "slap in the face" that the Guess Who gave.
Kristen D. Feb 27, 2009, 5:05pm EST
I like the Lenny Kravitz version better, but I'm also a big Lenny Kravitz fan. :)

The Lenny Kravitz video was better, but the best music is from The Guest Who. --Joe
