ROUND 1 DAY 1
Scorpions - Still Loving You vs The Coasters - Searchin'
That Scorpions song has always been one of my favorites. One of the most epic rock ballads of the 80's!
Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number vs Velvet Underground - Rock & Roll
Rikki is a great song, but Velvet Underground's song has more swagger and attitude.
Earl Hines-Stormy Monday Blues vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker ~ Stuck on You
The first represents its decade excellently, but there's no beating the soulful voices of Lionel and Darius singing one of Lionel's best hits.
Cherry Glazerr - Told You I'd Be With the Guys vs Crispian St. Peter's-The Pied Piper
Cherry Glazerr is THE best thing I've discovered in music so far this year, and that song of hers is hot, and so is she! Never cared for the second.
Glenn Miller - Jukebox Saturday Night vs Alan Jackson - Remember When (2003)
The first did not peak my interest, and the second was okay.
Vera Lynn - White Cliffs of Dover vs Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand - You Don't Bring Me Flowers (1978)
Both songs did not peak my interest, but the first represents its era excellently.
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth vs Metallica ~ Enter Sandman
Both great tunes from their respective decades, but the first is just too awesome to beat.
Kaleo-Way Down We Go vs The Pixies - Ana
Kaleo is the second best thing I've discovered in music so far this year. His song is captivating.
