IT'S A KNOCKOUT

I am not 100% sure how I can work a "It's A Knockout" in for the theme of covers, but I will see what I can do.

 

 

ORIGINAL vs. COVER

Every day, two songs will go up for you to vote on the one you prefer. The first song will be the original, and the second will be a cover. At the end of September, we shall see if there is a preference for originals or covers.

Please Note: If you want to nominate a song that you think has been covered frequently for "ORIGINAL vs. COVER", please contact me by PM or email (shen_an_calhar@hotmail.co.uk) with the original and who covered it.

GENERAL THREADS

There will be a thread to discuss Covers, including your favourite covers and why some songs get covered more frequently.

[Corki]

The first "Tune or No Tune" thread can be found here. It is the Gareth Gates' version of Unchained Melody.

 

Also, the first day's song for "Originals vs. Covers" has gone up. The song is Over the Hills and Far Away, the song that gave me the idea for the thread. It features the original by Gary Moore, and takes on the cover by Finland's Nightwish. Vote here!

[Corki]

Originals vs. Covers is now onto the 21st song, with Originals leading 12-8 in the battle at the moment.

 

The current song up for vote is I Don't Know What To Do With Myself, the original by Tommy Hunt and the cover by The White Stripes.
