Feel free to vote in the match ups, that song may or may not appear later

the purple tin

Creedence or SRV is a toughie, both great tunes.
I'll go with SRVs Little Wing, he's one of the few guitarists who can really do a Hendrix tune justice.

Neil Diamond: Both Sides Now.

Pass on the others

Kolido

Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Midnight Special 6- 1 Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing
Elton John - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 4 3 The Sundays - Wild Horses
David Gray - Say Hello Wave goodbye 4 1 Neil Diamond - Both sides now
Poolside - Harvest Moon 3 3 Saxon - Ride Like The Wind

Lets move on and see if these resolve later.

Match 45: Bruce Springsteen. Absolutely amazing song
Match 46: Seether. Another classic and Seether did a decent enough job
Match 47: Echo and the Bunnymen. One of the cases that I like the cover more than the original
Match 48: Muse. Really good cover of another super classic!!

Lets move on and see if these resolve later.

In case they are still unresolved:
Elton John - really getting into him lately
David Gray - superb song and good cover
Saxon - just because I like it better as a song

Ectoplasm

You people are all dead to me.

Nobody should corrupt The Doors like that.

quickbeam

I'd usually agree. But I do like that version.

I hate it. It makes my ears hurt.

Not as much as Madonna doing American Pie but still...

quickbeam

Oh yeah, we can agree about that one for sure.
