One song title, two different bands with two different songs. Vote for the one you prefer:

The Akasha one's got a fantastic groove and such a wonderful, relaxed vibe, to the point that I'm gonna have to take a look around for an album when I can. Unfortunately though (and I hate to come across as a classic rock bore), the Stones song has the Richards factor to it, and's therefore been a favourite of mine for bloody years. So, yeah, the Stones edge it. Just.

I don't love or even like the Rolling Stones as much as most MB'rs probably do, but I have to admit that Brown Sugar is a pretty great tune.

That Akasha song on the other hand, is just amazing. Reminded me of Lemongrass, another artist I enjoy, but sorta more 'live' sounding. They edged out the Stones for my vote.

I went for the Stones version. I actually started listening to the Akasha thinking "hey, this is very cool. This might actually beat it." But literally within the first second of the Rolling Stones song I was reminded of why I listen to them. It's just awesome, and as Bulldog said has "the Richards factor." It doesn't help that this is my favorite Rolling Stones song.

I had to go with the Stones on this one. Typically Akasha-type music(what's that...jazz? neo-soul?) would be right there for me, but I wasn't feeling this one. I won't deny it's beautiful, but I listened to it 4 times, and the Rolling Stones version once, and I still have to go with the latter.

The Akasha one wins it for me. Awesome groove, very chilled. Love it.

I won't argue at all the way the voting goes, it's just my own way of forcing new music on you all

This, However I love to come across as a classic rock bore. It gives me enormous satisfaction.
