Round 5
1. The Cramps - What's Inside a Girl?
(If my brain had a soundtrack, it'd probably sound something like this flirtatiously sinister tune.)
2. Johnny Ray - Bury Me Out on the Lone Prairie
(My affinity for westerns means I also have an affinity for cowboy songs such as this.)
3. Thornetta Davis - Cry
(Was loving this for awhile, especially in the first half when it shows a lot of restraint, but I felt like the song lost some of its individuality once the rock elements took over. Still a good song.)
4. Charlie Rich - The Most Beautiful Girl
(Classic country.)
5. Dorothy - Raise Hell
(I've heard this somewhere before, perhaps on a TV spot or something. Rock with female vocalists always seems to appeal to me, even when the song is average. I'd say this is slightly above average. Moderately catchy, but I don't think it's dynamic enough to survive multiple listens.)
6. Bob Dylan - Maggie's Farm
(Love Dylan, but this is one of my least favorites from his well-known stuff. I feel like his voice is at its most grating here.)
7. Dream Theater - Untethered Angel
(I have a lot of respect for Dream Theater as musicians, but that respect rarely translates into outright enjoyment of their music. This is no exception.)
8. Quix*O*Tic - Lord of this World
(Not terrible since it has the backbone of Sabbath, but this cover feels too disjointed and messy. Those transitions are jarring.)
9. Breaking Benjamin - So Cold
(Too generic.)
10. Jeffrey Osborne - On the Wings of Love
(Too lame.)
