MindCrime Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the... Top Ten Special ~ Cover Songs ALL MEMBERS OF SONGFACTS ARE MOST WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE. The greater the participation, the more diverse, and more representative our top ten list is. We'd like to invite everyone to help us select THE SONGFACTORS' CHOICE TOP TEN! IT'S SIMPLE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS: *The only criteria for this ten is that the song was previously released by another artist with most of the same lyrics intact, regardless of whether they've previously made the list in a regular weekly Ten. You may nominate up to 3 songs * When nominations close, choose your favorite Ten songs in order of preference from the Final Nominations and post them here. Points are allotted, 10 for your #1 song, 9 for #2, Etc. and our Top Ten is compiled from them. At the end of the voting period we'll announce The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten For that week.

MindCrime Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just so you guys know, it's the cover version that will be voted on. Posting both is fine for a compare and contrast evaluation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just so everyone knows, I decided to post both versions (if added) to the Playlist . If you don't want to listen to both songs just skip them. It's pretty cool listening to both versions back to back. Some of the differences are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 [big]◊[/big] Lonely Avenue — The Animals (1976)[smaller] The reunited premier lineup covered Ray Charles' 1958 original. It was a very tough call, but the Animals beat out Stephen Marley's reggae version from 2007 (Starts about 0:46).[/smaller] [big]◊[/big] Don't It Make You Want to Go Home — The Persuasions (1971) [smaller] This a cappella treasure completely transcends Joe South's ho-hum original (1969).[/smaller] [big]◊[/big] Well All Right — Blind Faith (1969) [smaller] They changed up Buddy Holly's terrific 1958 original. To be honest, I prefer Santana's 1978 version musically, but they lose creativity points for so closely copying Blind Faith.[/smaller] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
