Song vs. Song #6: Otis Redding vs. The Drifters

Though summer feels all too far away, spring break (which either has or is currently playing in a city near you) is certain to get us itchin' for some sun and relaxation. In honor of such yearnings, cast your vote now for which lackadaisical summer 60's song is best:

Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters

or

(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding

And nevermind the fact that the latter song has slightly depressing overtones. Summer's all about living in oblivion!

"Under the Boardwalk" is a fine little diddy, but Otis' tune has an undeniable soulful maturity. My vote easily goes to "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay".

Band vs. Band #2: The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones

Two of the biggest bands in rock 'n' roll history, both hailing from Great Britain in the 1960's ... so which do YOU like best?

The Beatles

or

The Rolling Stones

Get voting!

Benny K says...

No doubt, the Beatles are a great band with a wide variety of musical masterpieces, from the simplistic pop-rock of their early days to the sophisticated compositions of their later psychedelic period. But there's one thing I can't deny. The Rolling Stones pretty much ALWAYS put a smile on my face, guaranteed. Listening to their straight-forward rock 'n' roll, you can't be anything other than happy. For consistency alone, my verdict has to be The Rolling Stones.
