Location: Avondale, AZ | Both did the song "I'm a man"
I never heard two bands do the same song so similarly.
Chicago\'s version
Spencer Davis Group\'s version
Both rock so either chose is right. |

Location: Indiana | I saw the then Chicago Transit Authority as the opening act for Jimi Hendrix. I remember hearing them do that song. Excellent. There aren't many remakes that I like as much as that one.

Location: NW Washington State | I'm a Terry Kath fan so I'll go with the Chicago version. Kath should be one of those dead legends; maybe he didn't get enough attention because Chicago was such a big group.
But the Traffic version is good too... I guess I'd like to see a version with Winwood and Kath together.
Resist all involvement with each groovy chick you see.

Location: Round Rock, TX | It's gotta be the SDG version for me. That version of that song is iconic. Every time I hear the first coupla bars my monkey bone starts vibrating. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | It's a great song no matter who performs it. I'd have to go with Spencer Davis Group though. (Although I never knew what the words were until Chicago did it. Gotta love Steve Winwood, but sometimes I wonder why he keeps all those marbles in his mouth.) |
