I have to ask: Stevie Nicks or Billy Corgan?

I'll start off by saying that I absolutley love this song...But I've always been torn between the Smashing Pumpkins (read Billy Corgan) version and the Stevie Nicks version...I mean clearly Stevie gets huge kudos for having written and been the first to perform the song, but Corgan does really offer a lot with his version. He has far greater vocal range and is clearly the more talented musician...I know that Tori Amos has covered this song live on numerous occaisions, but I'm not willing to admit her to the conversation (though she does do the song justice without question)...In any respect, now that the song has reached the point where that chap that used to date Anna Kournikova is recording it, I think that we need to determine which is the superior version before it devolves to the point where the question becomes meaningless...While I couldn't locate a Smashing Pumkins version of this song on You Tube, I do have this version to support the Stevie Nicks side...After you've listened to this, pull out Pisces Iscariot to get the Billy Corgan version... Oh, and I have to go with Corgan...Enjoy!
