Who Sang it Better?

The title seems to contain its own answer, but I’ll put this out there anyway.

  • Carly Simon
  • Radiohead

Those are all beautiful. Just a gorgeous song. I saw SRV in concert about 2 months before he died. I’m glad I got to see him.

Ah. I tried looking there, but I didn’t recognize the command. Thank you.

After the release of the first S&G album, Paul Simon went to live in London for a while and soak up the folk scene. While he was there he met and worked with an Australian named Bruce Woodley of The Seekers. One of the songs they co-wrote is below.

My question to you is, which co-author performed it better?

  • Simon and Garfunkel
  • The Seekers

This is one of my favorite covers. It manages to somehow remain faithful to the original and at the same time turn the song almost completely on it’s head and make it their own.

The Song: Iron Man.

The Contenders:

  • Back Sabbath
  • The Cardigans

That was a hard one. I would have voted for both if the option had been available.

I’d maybe say Bauhaus just because I heard their version first, but I saw both play it live and if that had been the question I’d have had to abstain :metal:

I couldn’t escape the feeling that the Iron & Wine version was going to transition into The Eagle’s “Take it Easy.”

That’s a pretty good version, but I’m not sure I care for the augmented lyrics.
