Pixies sound quality wasn't so good and neither was their kinda boring arrangement/playing; they can do better.

Each has its own merits, but I think I over-all preferred <b>The Pixies</b>. I'm sure my vote is a tad too late, but I'm so off track with keeping up with BOTB members. What's wrong with me?!

They stay true to the original Young sound and I found their version more pleasant to listen to.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-11533161173370161012015-01-19T09:33:15.574-08:002015-01-19T09:33:15.574-08:00I've seen what happened here (a non-challenger...I've seen what happened here (a non-challenger get a vote) on other battles when someone posts the "original" first. People tend to skim posts, so if you don't want the original as a participant you need to make it glaringly obvious (by saying something like: "The Original - Who Is Not in This Battle - Neil Young - so don't vote for him). And then post the video. Otherwise, at least one person will vote for Neil Young. <br /><br />I am so behind in everything, including BOTB. Sorry for the lateness.<br /><br />My choice is the first one, Whitehouse.

It had a bit more mellowness to it while the Pixies seemed a bit too strong in the guitar and it overwhelmed the song for meBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-28816424336481083272015-01-16T11:28:04.425-08:002015-01-16T11:28:04.425-08:00Neil Young "Winterlong" - always love he...Neil Young "Winterlong" - always love hearing his voice and the harmony is sweet. I can hear the lyrics clearly and that's a plus for me. Musical interlude is still nice.<br /><br />Whitehorse - the guitar is sooo persuasive but not the voices. I don't like the harmony.<br /><br />The Pixies had me up until the last half minute - yeah, it's that's close for me. Something about their close was unpleasant enough to drop this choice.<br /><br />Nice battle, with three tough choices for me. I only play air guitar. Ha!<br /><br />Neil Young gets my vote. Thank you, Mike.<br />Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.com
