pearl jam's vs. u2's version of all along the watchtower

[U2Man]

pearl jam wins.

 

[topplehatU2]

Not if we're talking about the Lovetown version(s).

 

[LMP]

No, Pearl Jam's wins anyway.

I've never been a fan of U2's cover, Lovetown or the dreadful Rattle and Hum version.

 

[U2Man]

same goes for fortunate son.

 

[bobbo]

yawn. Both bands do a pretty crappy job of covering it. I'll call it a draw.

 

[Diemen]

If we're talking about the Rattle & Hum version, then yes, Pearl Jam. But if we include the Lovetown version with Edge a la Hendrix and Bono belting the vocals, then U2 wins. That version owns.

 

[Zoots]

Never heard the PJ version. I love all the U2 versions! including Rattle & Hum.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

well they've only played it 4 times... thus why most have never heard it.
