Better cover of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain? Shark Island vs Taking Dawn

[whiplash1972]

Shark Island 

 

or Taking Dawn?

 

I prefer Taking Dawn's version...  

 

But of course, the original is unbeatable....

Both are pretty good. I’ve always been partial to Shark Islands version. I also like the version Kick Axe did.

I vote for Shark Island's version as well

I really hate this song, but agree Shark Island's version is (only very slightly) better than Taking Dawn's version. 

[Captain Howdy]

Not as good as either of the other versions, but there is also this. Only thing it has going for it is it almost has the classic bass break, which for some crazy reason the other two seem to totally ignore or bury under a wall of guitar. The bass line is one of the most defining feature of this song for many people, yet it gets ruined in nearly all covers.

As for Shark Island vs Taking Dawn ... I prefer the Taking Dawn version.
