Boardsies Greatest Cover Song - Live Thread

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

Guns 'N' Roses - Live and Let Die

Easy decision, they're the far superior song in each match.

Irish Aris

Match 13: Talking Heads - David Byrne is brilliant in orchestrating songs
Match 14: The Byrds - just because I'm not a fan of Joe Cocker's voice
Match 15: Happy Mondays - you're twistin' my melon man!!!!
Match 16: Faith No More - just so it doesn't lose 6-0

Talking Heads - Take Me to the River. No contest, Talking Heads at their very best.

Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends. The Byrds were just a bit too wishy-washy for my taste.

Happy Mondays - Step On. Sticking with my nomination here. Plus it's a great song.

Guns 'N' Roses - Live and Let Die. Really enjoyable cover, even if Axl Rose is a bit of a dick.

I can't take that song seriously at all, even though I usually like Talking Heads...

Might have to amend my entry to Rikand's comp. :rolleyes:

All I hear is this f**ker every time...

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower - Theres only 1 or 2 songs that could beat this out and Step On isnt one of them
Faith No More - Easy - Mike Patton is way cooler than Axel Rose!

I have none left out of ten! The last remaining three were eliminated in this round (Round 3), two of them in the last set of matches!

Only after seeing this..


Johnny Cash - Hurt Vs Muse - Feeling Good
Gemma Hayes - Wicked Game Vs Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way

Necro

Johnny Cash out of the first one, unreal song.

Pass on the second, not gone on either.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Muse - Feeling Good ; a tough call, but this was one of my favourite songs back when it first came out and in my opinion better than the original

Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way ; love this song, a classic '80s number, and I think there are far better covers of Wicked Game
