Next thread: A debate between Peter Green's version of Green Manalishi and Judas Priest's?

 

Oh, yeah, definitely Santana, although, to be honest, until now, I never even realized that Fleetwood Mac recorded it first.  But, actually both versions sound great in their own specific time period, and we're kind of comparing apples and oranges genre-wise.
 
Santana's version was actually the fourth song that I ever attempted to sing in a band when I was thirteen years old, so the song brings back some fun memories for me. :)

SANTANA

Its a difficult one but I think I would come down on the side of Santana. I prefer the vocals on Mac's version but the playing and arrangment on Santana's

Whats to debate

JP.........."Unleashed in the East".........Anytime......anywhere........

Well, it's about as much of a debate as the current one, ya?
 
We covered the JP version and it was sooooo much fun!

Santana's. This has been one of my favorites forever, although I do like some things about the vocals on the Fleetwood Mac version (not the cheesy outro, though. Shuffle off to Buffalo, anyone?)

Peter Green's version is in my taste far superior. Vocals, guitar, drumming etc are all spot on for the message of the song.

I'm actually put off Santana after hearing his attempt of BMW. Don't think it does the original any justice. The rhythm, tones and overuse of sustain actually detract from the song. My opinion is that he mashed it.
