Song Vs Song.

I couldn't care less about this current choice (Machine Gun), but completely different songs called I Want You were recorded by Bob Dylan (Blonde on Blonde) and The Beatles (Abbey Road). I'm just throwing it out there as an idea.
 
Seriously dude, trip hop has a small enough following as it is, and you compare them to the dude that every high schooler thinks is the only guitarist worth talking about.
 
There could be a lot of good ones

Wild Thing (Hendrix\Trogs)

Watchtower (Hendrix\Dylan)

Satisfaction (Otis Redding\Aretha Franklin)

Love Song (311\The Cure)

So So many good ones.
 
Looks like somebody didn't bother to read the OP. The idea is that it's two different songs with the same name, not two different versions of the same song.
 
I’m going to vote Hendrix here. I haven’t heard much Portishead before now (haven’t been too impressed with what little bit I’d heard), so I made sure to give both songs a complete listen. They still don’t grab me. Her voice was beautiful, but everything else was tedious and boring. My impression of the Hendrix song was the complete opposite of the other. Hendrix just had that vibe that keeps things interesting for me...and I’m in love with that guitar.
 
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.
