A country-rock band vs. a sorta glammish power-pop group - not a good match. Stick with the Pure Prarie League; "Amie" is way more compatible with "Jackie Blue."

But "Jackie Blue" (which I guess was a bit of an anomaly for them?) is way more Todd Rundgren than it is country. I agree with the Good Doctor that it slays everything in this thread, although "Moonlight Feels Right" is close!

Hot Chocolate "Brother Louie" vs Janis Ian "Society's Child"
All versions of "Brother Louie" vs All versions of "Louie Louie"

Hmm. Both have the same weird lead-in on the skin color -- "she was black as the night" / "your face is clean and shining black as night" -- but I'll take Ms. Ian just for the weird baroque and Wurlitzer pieces that are jammed in.
P.S. Chuck, have you ever heard Hot Chocolate's version of "Give Peace a Chance"?

Yup! (So did Sisters of Mercy, I think.)

Oh my god, I was sincerely intending to make a 'Dancing in the Moonlight' vs. 'Moonlight Feels Right' poll a while back. Two of the most sublime radio rock hits of the '70s.
