That's cool, Joe took some of his out, so I'll let you get your nomination in Then we'll have 52, like a deck of cards Okay, done Just following up on Limer's pedantry though, Heard it Through the Grapevine was originally done by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.. so that's gotta be that <_< Do you want Marvin Gaye or Creedence as the cover version to vote on? Yes

^Yeah, I never liked her face that much either. Her long, lean body is killer though 4

^Whoa! :shock: Thanks Berno. I hope VS start using her more

Thanks all I think I'll go to 50 songs @Joe & vanessa: Could you PM me the YouTube links for your songs? @Layla: I'll reserve 3 spots for you I was gonna add that one myself, but would you believe I couldn't find the Dylan version on YouTube anywhere? Maybe you can have better luck finding it?

lol, I'm not sure I should count that Eurotrip one.. Thanks though, list has been updated

I think there's something really captivating about cover songs. They're often atrocious, but sometimes wonderful, and more often than not give you a different perspective of a song when an artist can inject their own style and personality into it. So basically what I'd like to do is gather a bunch of nominations, then give everyone the chance to vote on how much they like or dislike them. I'm thinking that it will go something like this: - One song (two versions) per round - Both versions of the song will be provided via YouTube to give those unfamiliar with the songs a chance to rate them - You give an objective rating of the original song out of 10, on its own merits - You give an objective rating of the cover version of the song out of 10, on its own merits - You distribute 5 points between the two, based on which version you like more - Points will be averaged at the end of each round to calculate the total score. I've never done one of these before, so it has the potential to fall flat on its face Hopefully there's enough interest, and we can get some interesting results. I'll get the list started, then start taking nominations. Nomination notes: - Please send me all nominations via private message - Provide me with the song title, the original artist name, and the artist name doing the cover version - Provide me with YouTube links to both versions (doesn't matter if it's not the right video, so long as the audio is correct) - If it's not on YouTube, it's ineligible - Live versions are okay, but make sure the quality is reasonable - Please don't embed YouTube videos in this thread to nominate - Feel free to nominate, whether you love/hate the original, or love/hate the cover Nominations closed!
