1. Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind (love this cover, reckon it could go all the way)
2. The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy (didn't even know it was a cover but I like it, whereas Atomic Kitten's version of Eternal Flame was bland)
3. No optinion on #3 yet as I haven't listened to Seether's cover
4. Smokin' Mojo Filters - Come Together , simply because I can't stand Handbags and Gladrags.

Votes in bold. Last match is a toughie, but Marvin has already had enough success in these boards contests imo.

Match 5: Run DMC - one of these cover versions that bring the original to a whole different place
Match 6: David Gray - I'm sick of this Despacito song
Match 7: I will abstain
Match 8: Marvin Gaye - one absolute classic

Echo and the Bunnymen - People Are Strange. Love this song, great call to whoever nominated it.

David Gray - Say Hello Wave goodbye Vs Justin Bieber - Despacito - PASS

The Ramones - Baby, I Love You. So unlike everything else The Ramones released, but every bit as good.

Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine. An all time classic.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Echo and the Bunnymen - People Are Strange ; Walk This Way is good, but tad overrated

David Gray - Say Hello Wave Goodbye ; decent enough and better than Despacito by a Country Mile!

Eric Clapton - Cocaine ; great song

Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends ; an impossible decision, but Joe Cocker wins it for being The Wonder Years theme song

Run DMC - Walk This Way
David Gray - Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Eric Clapton - Cocaine
Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Run DMC - Walk This Way Vs Echo and the Bunnymen - People Are Strange - hadn't heard this cover before but it's quite decent.

David Gray - Say Hello Wave goodbye Vs Justin Bieber - Despacito - not a "Belieber" by any means but he annoys me less than David Gray does!

Eric Clapton - Cocaine Vs The Ramones - Baby, I Love You - Love this tune!

Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends Vs Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Cocker's cover is good but Gaye's is arguably one of the greatest songs ever.

Declan A Walsh

The only one left to fill is Joe v Marvin. I will go with Joe Cocker - great interpretation, although I like the other too.

THANK GOD it isn't just me. David Gray sucks.

Another for the David Gray haters club. Mind you, the alternative isn't any better.

I must say, that's a shocker from cocker, I had Marvin Gaye pegged as a potential winner.
