This one wasn’t even close! Although I chose Eric Burdon (the intro gives me shivers and I love the whole psychedelic groove of the piece, not to mention Eric’s plaintive tone), it was the Goth version by Inkubus Sukkubus that resonated with most of you. A couple of you didn’t like either one and chose it by default, which is still a legitimate vote.
AND THE WINNER IS:
INKUBUS SUKKUBUS
By a ~70/30 split:
Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and comment.
Here’s the winner once again, in a live performance video:

I liked both versions, but I resonated better with IS’ version because of the Goth in me 😀
You’re in agreement with the majority then, Lori. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by!
Good News! Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Right now, I am listening to multiple versions of “Feels Like Home.” It is Chantal Kreviazuk (famous Canadian) against the world… 🙂
Hi Myke; I’ll have to check that out. 🙂 Yes, Chantal is a famous Canadian and so is her husband, Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace).
I’m glad Inkubus Sukkubus won just so I could say that name again! 🙂 Love your pie charts!!!
LOL That is a fun name, for sure! 😀 Those pie charts are part of this cool opinion poll app: http://www.opinionstage.com/
I wasn’t able to vote… but my heart belongs to the Animals and Eric Baby. 🙂
Mine does too, Angelika. 🙂 Even if you had voted, he still wouldn’t have won. His version of the song was a bit unusual; not exactly mainstream. Thanks for dropping in.
I’m still surprised that I voted AGAINST Eric Burdon & The Animals but… I did.
See ya next time, DEBBIE.

Well, I guess this just wasn’t your taste, Stephen. Not everyone is into psychedelic music. Personally, I love it, but, the majority preferred the Goth vibe. All good! 🙂 Getting away from rock altogether for the next one. Cheers!
I’m surprised that the difference would be so extreme, but the IS band was decent. I still prefer the classic psychedelic sound of Eric Burden.

We share the same opinion here, Lee. 🙂 I too was surprised that Eric didn’t fare better, but as you say. the other version was good too.
