Shadows of Knight

[Whitacre D_WI]

Poll question: Shadows of Knight

You know, the '60s Chicago band.

One song, specifically.

Who did the best version of "Gloria?"

1. I used to hang out with Tom, their drummer, met him in Piper's Alley

a long time ago 1966 or 1967.
Great band, my favorite tune of theirs is "Bad Little Woman".

8. They were my homeys

Prospect High School, local one hit wonders but we were proud of em.

10. Have you ever heard the original of that by the Wheels?

Both versions are great. Apparently the SoK had a penchant for covering cool Irish bands!

2. Patti's version ruled...

Heard this back in the 70's and it truly changed my life...still one of the best songs EVER!!!!

3. "Gloria" by the Shadows of Knight is the first 45 I ever bought

I loved their version.

4. Kick because "Horses" is one of the best fucking records ever.

:kick:

5. Had to go with Them.

Van Morrison's vocals on that tune are still among the most sexually charged that I've ever heard. The way he sang those lyrics made it quite obvious that Gloria wasn't just going up to his room for a chat! }(

6. She make me feel all right.

Well, she do.

7. Whitacre - don't make me wake up Randomkoolzip!

Laura F-ing Brannigan, man!

Damn!

9. I picked Them, but I love the Shadows of Knight

My favorite song by them is "Light Bulb Blues."

11. Saw Them In Savannah Georgia In 1967

at a concert with the Seeds and Question Mark and the Mysterians. I liked their tune "Girl I'm Gonna Make You Mine". But I voted for Them as the best version of Gloria.
