    Apparently Sheryl Crow did, "Rolling Stone readers named it the fourth worst cover song of all-time."

    Don't be giving me ideas :D


    Just on what songs qualified for this tournament. Any original song that was covered (studio recording)

    I can't veto songs by saying they are more or less famous or better. you guys will decide that

    How does GnR qualify? Clearly that's the definitive version of the song, I don't think I know any covers

    If I had of been awake this morning not that it makes any differance

    robert hazard
    Rage against the machine
    anita carter
    depeche mode

    And then If I had of been awake yesterday morning :D

    The Guess Who or the Beatles..though I love Lenny Kravtizs cover version of American woman and I probably would have voted for it for a change..but as the original got through at the last moment being best runner up.. here is Joe Cockers live version of with a little help from my friends at Woodstock. Gosh didn't he give it all in every live performance? Been on my playlist all last year when things.. nntm...well ye all know...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfLyK2DVVUU


    kansas joe/Minnie or Them..seeing Gloria got through heres Led Zeps cover of When the Levee Breaks

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j7oT2I8Nz8


    The rest of my choices would have been
    patti smith
    howlin wolf..back door man
    harold melvin

    Let us know whatever suits yourself Kolido..ta

    Chris did Masked Singer US last year (or was it 2019?) and he was the only one I guessed that season. :D Had some ok songs since but the debut album was the best of it for me.
