Boardsies Greatest Cover Song - Live Thread

quickbeam

House of the Rising Sun - one of my favourite songs. It probably won't go through against that competition though.

Gru

The Fugees - Killing Me Softly - because i just love that song
Faith No More - Easy - again i much prefer this song to the one it's against.
The Animals - House of the Rising Sun - this was a very tough choice, but this narrowly beat it out.
Disturbed - Sound of Silence - clear winner of the two in my book...

PsychoPete

The Fugees - Killing Me Softly Vs Space - We Gotta Get Out of this Place, Fugees for this one


Faith No More - Easy Vs Johnny Cash - Sunday Morning Coming Down. Faith No More gets my vote

Johnny Cash - Hurt Vs The Animals - House of the Rising Sun. This is tough but I have to give it to Mr Cash

Disturbed - Sound of Silence Vs The Carpenters - Please Mr. Postman. Has to be Disturbed

Sawduck

The Fugees - Killing Me Softly

Damn it all, just spotted the thread now and would have voted for the animal's.

Gru

Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags - loved this song as long as i can remember
Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll - because it's the better of the two
Placebo - Running Up That Hill - Love Cyndi's cover but am too big a placebo fan to vote against them
Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame - because i prefer it.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags ; tough call on this one, but really love Handbags and Gladrags

Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll ; one of my noms here and should be the rightful winner of this pairing (let me guess Necro nominated the other... :rolleyes:)

Placebo - Running Up That Hill ; another of mine, and one of the best covers ever

Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame ; no denying it's a tune

Not really into the Stereophonics but that is a great song.

Irish Aris

Match 25: Flying Lizards (don't like Stereophonics that much)
Match 26: Joan Jett (one of my nominations)
Match 27: Cyndi Lauper (that one kills me because Placebo's cover is amazing, but Cyndi is another of my nominations)
Match 28: Ace Of Base (both great, but I have a soft spot for the quartet from Sweden)
