27 nominations. Good work guys! Remember, all those who nominated songs PM me your 5 favourite songs of the bunch, and also the worst song of the bunch. I'll announce the votes when I get everyone's in, but I'm not gonna wait all day to do so.....
FTR you don't need to give all 5 for the worst song. Just the one will do. Probably should've been clearer in the thread. So as a guide: 5) 4) 3) 2) 1) Worst/Billy Madison:
Often the problem with covers is that they're kind of 'too obvious' and it comes across as dodgy kareoke. Guns n' Roses covering Sympathy for the Devil for example. Good band and good song but it's too close to the original and made me think I'd just rather listen to the Stones.
Felt the GnR cover beefed up the Stones one a bit. Never been a big lover of Jaggers voice, Axl sounded a bit more menacing. However the 'oooh oooooh' in the background sounds far camper. Did their cover of 'Knocking on Heavens Door' not make the list? Does suprise me, also means GIMH isn't participating. Talking of Dylan, I absolutely adore Pearl Jam's cover of Masters of War, would've put it ahead of Last Kiss myself. So many songs up there that I completely forgot about though, some stunners in it.
Really agree with this. I don't really see the point in really faithful covers. If you're going to cover a song, you need to add something at least a little bit different to it imo.
C'mon guys. I only have 9 votes so far, there were 27 of you. I can't put up the votes without you all voting.
My phone is struggling to load the page with all the embeds - can you post a list of all song titles please mate, so I can copy and paste then whittle down the list?
