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.

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.

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.

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.

Can't see it because of work, but I always liked the Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and George Thorogood versions.

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.)

SDG by far. Chicago's version lacks soul. Might as well be a high school band doing it.
