[Xhavenjoe]

You can't beat a bit of Peter Green. Much better than a bit of syrupy Diana Ross

Diana Ross was a better penalty taker than Peter Green

 

[BlueHammer85]

Full Time!
Diana Ross & The Supremes through!
Fleetwood Mac left looking for some votes.

This Byrds one really is stretching it. OK, it was recorded in the 60s but The Byrds recording of the song remained unreleased for twenty years until the 1987 archival album Never Before was issued.

I think I prefer the Jefferson Airplane cover on Crown of Creation.

I certainly prefer the dirtier sound of the CCR so Fortunate Son for me

 

[OB1]

CCR track is a classic.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Might be just me — and I didn’t pick it — but I think Fortunate Son might be a sleeper pick to go a long way if the draw is favo(u)rable . . .

So iconic Family Guy did a whole bit on it.

 

[Kompany Car]

If there was a song that was the sound of Vietnam portrayed on film, Fortunate Son would be it. As soon as it starts I just visualise Huey UH1s.

That Byrds track is as insipid as a weak cup of tea. @BlueHammer85 You should have chosen Eight Miles High or Turn Turn Turn, mate.
