    Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me Vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

    Them - Gloria Vs Paul McCartney - Live and Let Die

    EDIT: I just don't get this love for Don't You Forget About Me. I think it's one of their more bland songs.

    Oh, Declan. I’ll try!
    For me, it’s just one of the iconic 80s songs. I know where I was when I first heard it, I remember how I was feeling & hearing it now allows me to float on that wave of nostalgia, misery, hope, heartbreak etc. The Breakfast Club association didn’t hurt either!

    I’m sure you have songs too that, for some reason, just stay with you, bring you back or that you just plain like!

    Ah nevermind :) I'm happy out, most of my stuff usually goes out in the very early stages of these contests.

    The exception being the worst song ever contest where they went the distance and one of them won :eek:

    I wasn't expecting most of them to make it out of the first round anyway, tbh, so I'm not surprised at all.

    the kinks...days... I prefer the cover versions only way to decide between two great songs by the same band. Love the softer/poignant kirsty mcColl version... even the luke Kelly version of Days.

    I didnt either....heard the Kirsty MacColls version first sadly an artist who while performing a courageous act left us too early for the great gig in the sky.

    Judging by the votes so far, Stevie Nicks could well have a landslide on her hands for her Fleetwood Mac composition! :D

    This is probably heresy to say for Leonard Cohen fans, but some of the covers of Hallelujah were better. He has had plenty of better songs in his long career.

    I think I nominated both but I would love Landslide to win, too many great covers of Hallelujah

    In case I'm not around I vote Landslide what ever if up against

    It could be much worse ..gave up listening about a minute in to avoid a headache..haha... the only frog song that is half way acceptable apart from Kermit of course is..
