Rock Fight

[alan1]

When I was a kid, me and the other neighborhood kids used to sometimes get into rock fights. We'd square off, one team against another and throw rocks at each other. I only have one scar from those rock fights. Hehe, it is from my twin brother. He was just as good at throwing rocks as I was. And it was the only rock fight when we weren't on the same team.

But, this is the music forum, so a different kind of rock fight.

I pit The Traveling Wilburys against The Yardbirds. The two bands are about 20 years apart but they are both fantastic.

With the Traveling Wilburys you have Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty.
With the Yardbirds you have Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

Now that's a rock fight. Here are samples from both.

So much talent in both bands, it's hard to pick a winner in this rock fight. But I started the fight, so I guess I need to decide. I pick the Yardbirds as winners in this rock fight.

Now it's your turn to create a rock fight.

Similarities between these songs landed Harrison in court for plagiarism.

Actually, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was in DIRECT RESPONSE to Neil Young's "Southern Man".

"I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow".

I made a thread once like this, Jimi Hendrix versus Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Whose version of Voodoo Child do you prefer? Jimi won BTW.
