Title says it all. Some of you may have seen the MGOTA poll fail, we can but hope it isn't going to be a problem here, as it was a technical problem with the site, I checked and I had only inputted the songs once.

I don't normally like covers, however sometimes bands/artists just get it right, several on here may not agree with my choice but I'm going to go with this:



Roxy Music - Jealous Guy - February 1981 - Number 1

Some Lennon/Beatles fan I imagine hate this but I absolutely love this version, Roxy Music just got it right in my opinion :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am actually offended that someone's picked that pile of shit Valerie cover when the Zutons' version is SO good and the cover is SO bad. It really pisses me off when people talk about the Ronson / Winehouse version as though it's either the original or the best version because I'm sorry but it's awful.

Anyway.... Arctic Monkeys - Love Machine for me.

I am going for China Drum - Wuthering Heights. I don't think there was a video for it but here's the actual song.



Pretty obscure, but one of my favourite covers ever.

Could someone please choose The Futureheads cover of Hounds of Love? If I hadn't already put my choice in I would choose that.

Unfortunately that's an original song which samples an older one.

To clarify, song's such as Ellie Goulding - Your Song and Glee Cast - Don't Stop Believing qualify because they are one group doing a complete and total cover of another, however Madonna's 'Hung Up' and The Sugarhill Gang's 'Rapper's Delight' are not allowed as they merely take sections of other songs and manipulate them around original writing.

Ha ha yes John. Lay down the law. But you realise there will be a rant from Tim now about it where he will most likely say its a stupid game anyway

It did occur to me that that one wasn't so much a cover as a reworking. Is it an actual sample of the original track tho? I didn't think it was.

Oh Yuds, you didn't go through the whole process of setting up an account just for that did you...?

Second, you wouldn't believe how many people I've come across who had never heard of the Zuton's one, thankfully once most have heard it they agree that the Zuton's version is the better one

I wouldn't say the Amy Winehouse version is terrible. Its just quite different and i agree that The Zutons version is a lot better

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley.

This also could've been entered into the over 6:30 GHG

My choice, Johnny Cash - Hurt
Used to love a bit of NIN years back, and thought this was fantastic when it was released.
