This was a very, very, very tough list to pare down. [smallest]I love Patti Smith's version of "Because the Night," and if that had been the one nominated, I'd have definitely included that one.[/smallest] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Two of my noms made it in this week....excellent! Can't argue with the other choices, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Twist and Shout....really? Actually I expected it to finish higher because I know how most younger people feel about it. I do like the Beatles but never understood why anyone thought this was a good cover. I remember when it came out even Beatles fans thought it was bad. I still do. My black friends used to wince when they'd hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
