Both are great songs, but "Marrakech Express" for songwriting originality.

"Little Wing" - Jimi Hendrix or Derek And The Dominoes version?
Derek and the Dominoes because I liked the vocals better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac or "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" by Talking Heads?
This Must Be The Place
Everywhere is a nice song, but not a CMcVie standout. This Must Be The Place is a more interesting song.
-----------------------------------------------
Saxophone or trumpet? (In general)
Sax is more rock'n'roll. I associate trumpet with jazz (it must be said that I was listening to All Blues by Miles Davis recently; he was a master of that instrument).
Ringo solo: No No Song or You're Sixteen?
No No Song - It's a pity that Ringo didn't give all that up until later.

Bands with very few 'classic' members left. Jeff Lynne's ELO, or The Beach Boys
Geez, that's tough. I'd have to say the Beach Boys for Brian Wilson's production techniques and style, but I do like a few ELO songs that I've heard before. I haven't looked deeply into the catalogs of either. There's definitely more intrigue and drama with the Beach Boys, since they've dealt with Charles Manson via Dennis Wilson and production troubles with SMILE. Yeah, I'm sorry that this isn't the most music-based answer.

Say You Will - Fleetwood Mac or Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie?
I'm a real fan of Say You Will. I like Buckingham McVie, but not to the same level as Say You Will.
------------------------------------------------------------
Noel or Liam Gallagher?
ah .. the dueling potato brothers. not sure there is a winner here, but i’ll go with noel for the “fork in a world of soup” line about liam

Will you still love me tomorrow cover: Dave Mason or Linda Ronstadt?
Have to go with Linda on this one. This version is one that makes me believe the singer may be feeling what their singing about. Is she really worried she might lose someone while she stands in the studio during that take? Great voice, great song. :singer:
Pick a legendary performance to dance your tookus off at; Hendrix at Woodstock or queen at live aid?
