These are IMO two great blues numbers (even if I'm not really in the blues genre).
One is generally considered as being the best one sung by a white man.
I thought that a second one might also compete, hence this poll.
 
I voted for "Since...".

The question should be changed to "which is the better "white" blues song. Just off the top of my head I can name at least a half dozen better songs, & just from these 2 groups. Lazy, Demon's Eye, Why Didn't Rosemary, You Shook Me, Tea for One, When the Levee Breaks ...
That's not counting Pink Floyd, ZZTop, Rolling Stones, Savoy Brown, Foghat, Jethro Tull, Rush, and numerous 70s generic hard rock groups who hit the bull's eye from time to time.

Since I`ve been loving you. The guitar lick at 3/4 of the song reminds me of some classical music tunes. It`s out of an "standard" blues sound yet it's blues at its best

My personal fave is How Many More Times by the Zep.

Zep takes it on this poll, but my all time fave is "You Didn't Try To Call Me" by Zappa.

Not Prog  but the version of "The House of the Rising Sun" by BTO is simply outstanding, Randy Bachman does an amazing job.

The only version of The House of the Rising Sun I know is by Geordie, Brian Johnson's pre-AC/DC blues-hard rock band, and it's excellent!

There arre hundreed of versions, you may like the ones by:
  1. BTO
  2. Bob Dylan
  3. The Animals
  4. Tangerine Dream (Instrumental)
  5. Leslie West (Mountain)

Avoid the one by The Beatles

Just found this link guess it's legal because it's provided by Wikipedia http://kiv.pp.ru/cgi-bin/index-house 
 
With 262 versions but I already have more than enough in the hard disk so I haven't tried them so I don't know how they work.
