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 - nobody does emotion and sincerity like Gram

since gram parsons was probably the main influence on keith and mick writing the song, and both are spectacular versions, i'll vote FBB

My favorite Stones song, so they edge out FBB. But The Buritos did a wonderful job.

This was news to me, and I still think Mick's voice is better.

Gram's version wins -- no doubt about it. It was probably his finest performance as a Burrito Brother. Too bad the rest of the album (Burrito Delux) was such a turkey!
