    Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way - never even heard of it, but that Boyzone version has to die.

    Patti Smith - Gloria ; tough enough decision but has to be Patti for me

    Boyzone - Father and Son ; can't stand the other one, and in fairness this is a great song, even for a mediocre cover

    Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love ; very tough call between these two, but Manson did a great job with this cover

    Cake - I Will Survive ; was very close to nominating this one but just missed the cut for me, a cracking cover

    Them - Baby Please Don't Go. Classic Van Morrison before he became a grumpy old man.

    Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way Vs Boyzone - Father and Son - PASS

    Guns 'N' Roses - Live and Let Die. Surprising song for GnR to cover, bit they did a great job of it.

    Aretha Franklin - Respect. The song title says it all, respect to the Queen of Soul.

    Two votes. Abstain on the others. That Beatles cover is an abomination though.

    My votes in bold:

    Elvis Presley - Blue Suede Shoes Vs The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - great harmonies

    The Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone Vs The Beatles - Twist and Shout - Tough one, as I like both. Plumped for this epic piece of soul.

    Girls Aloud - Stand By You Vs Jose Feliciano - Light my fire - Nice cover of the Doors classic with a Latino feel.

    Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody Vs The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy - Picked Specials as it is okay and the other is annoying!

    The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - It was in Saved by the Bell and makes me smile
    The Beatles - Twist and Shout - because it's dance-y
    Girls Aloud - Stand By You - i'm not a Girls Aloud fan i swear
    The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy - i do love the Specials... so i pick this, although it was a close one.

    The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann - have always enjoyed this one

    The Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - love this one

    Girls Aloud - Stand By You - best of the two I suppose

    Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody ; is it possible to both despise and really appreciate a song at the same time?
