Wild Horses
Many people have covered this song (as recent as Alicia Keys), but Gram Parsons was actually able to record a version of "Wild Horses" BEFORE the Stones released their landmark recording, due to his close relatinoship with the band (some say he was the inspiration as well). That said, they're both amazing, and fairly similar, but I'd say the Stones just barely edge out the Flying Burrito Brothers.

FBB version is the best, stones sticky fingers version is over produced, it has too many over dubs. Compare FBB to the stones stripped, FBB is the best.

I saw both bands perform this song live, the Stones many times. I remember Parsons version tearing through me. Mick... not so much.

I was listening to the Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Stones, etc. etc. when you children were still messing your pants!! Song was FIRST done by the FBB and that is the end of the discussion. Now, go clean yourselves off and get over it.
