The original...
For whatever reason I had always preferred the Power Station version, though I had seen the T-Rex version of it also. The Power Station version just seemed more aggressive to me and I liked it.
I was a big fan of T. Rex when they first came out...had all their albums...the original probably holds more memories for me...
That's the way it is with most everyone I'm pretty sure. The younger generation who hears AP singing SP Journey songs for the first time will prefer AP singing them and the people who heard SP singing them first will prefer SP singing them and not AP.
That to me is what determines a good singer. I remember back in the 80's hearing AP singing a song live with the AMO Band that I never heard before because it was a brand new song. So hearing AP sing the song, I loved it. The woman I was seeing at that time went out and got me the album, I was thinking it was a new song by Elton John or something, and it turned out to be Boston's "Amanda" from Third Stage. I think they (AMO Band) were playing this song at least two full notes higher then the original though. AP's voice was like this incredibly fine piece of crystal just as clear and as powerful as could be. But for some odd reason, I actually preferred AP's voice on this song, simply because the first time I had heard this song before was AP singing it and not Boston. When that happens, you know the person is a great singer, and in this example it was AP doing "Amanda".
I've never eaten a piece of sushi I didn't thoroughly enjoy.
