Hello all! Welcome to another Music Monday Hosted by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek
Well, Now to announce last weeks winner. The Stand off was for “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” Who did it better, The Beatles (Aka, George Harrison), or Jeff Healey? Well, we had a write in vote for Santana ……………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
AND, SANTANA WAS THE WINNER!
Well, I thought of adding Santana right off, but I will admit right here… this was my least favourite of the three! Ha ha! I LOVE Santana! But, I thought this focused more on the singer they had for this version and Santana’s guitar playing almost seemed secondary, her vocals were also a little too mellow for me. If I’m going to go mellow, I would go the original Beatles version of this song (THAT’S JUST ME, DON’T HATE ME!!!)
I LOVE that you all got so into last week, and I hope we can continue to enjoy and debate musical tastes!! I absolutely don’t care about people questioning or debating my musical tastes, because that is what music is all about!
On to this week now!! Who did it better??
Radioactive
First, the original
Imagine Dragons
VS.
The Gregory Brothers
Lively music 👌😘

Ha ha! Oh, my wonderful all-knowing Genie, I have a post ready to go out tomorrow asking if anyone has future requests for stand-offs! I have a TON for the future still. But, I love that everyone seems to be enjoying this as much as me and would love to get more people involved!

Wow – I finally wound up in the majority with Santana – that’s oddly encouraging. 😉
On Radioactive – again for me – no question – Imagine Dragons – amazing band. I loved the theme they did for – I think – the 2012 League Of Legends World Championship – Warriors.
Cheers,
Brian

Ha ha!! Well, continue to vote, because you never know when you’ll be in the majority!! Any ways you look at it, it’s still good fun!! 😂😂 I’ve been trying to do an easier, fun one every other week so people don’t get frustrated with difficult choices… Although, I love the Gregory Brothers version of this song!! 😉💖

Thanks and I will – this really is good fun and a great way to mix it up – just like Friday Farside.
There was a reveal in that last comment. I was considered – for several years – to be one of the world’s worst League Of Legends players – at least according to my son – he eventually just refused to play with me. 😆
Yes – I am a recovering gamer – clean for almost 8 months now. 😉

I couldn’t upload the Gregory Brother’s version, but I loved the Imagine Dragons version anyway. The pounding on the drum is dramatic, the vocal drive hard, and the puppets are perfect. 🙂

The Gregory Brothers version is VERY different! Another genre bend, it’s almost bluegrass. Ha ha! If you get a chance to search it o. YouTube it’s such a fun song for a party or summer BBQ! 💖💖🍻

Nope…I voted for the Beatles too (at least I think I did, ugh getting old, total brain freeze here lol 😂).
For this one I’m going with Imagine Dragons (and I will be sure to make a note of it, so I won’t forget it next week) 😂😂

Ha ha! You did indeed go with the Beatles! But, to be fair, I believe you voted before Santana became official (…. Although, I will divulge that Santana is actually my least favourite of the 3! Lmao!! I am the minority… I love Santana, but I really don’t think he played as well as usual.) SORRY EVERYONE! 😘

At first I thought the Gregory Brothers edition was completely awful but it grew on me by the end 😂😂
Of the two, I still have to give my vote to Imagine Dragons tho!
My favorite version of this song is actually the Pentatonix & Lindsey Stirling cover!
