Disturbed - Sound of Silence = Head and shoulders above the rest

[Haighy]

Disturbed - Sound of Silence = Head and shoulders above the rest

Agree..

[Haighy]

Disturbed..

[White Riot]

Agree..

I thought you might Haighy

But really I think I didn't listen to this version sufficiently when it was first released too appreciate how magnificent it is.

Part of the reason for that is I was mainly listening to music commuting to work while living in Canada.

The country and western music was up to date and a decent listen. But the rock was about 30/40 years out of date, a bit like the people there

I virtually never listen to pop music these days as it's compete garbage.

I'm inclined to agree, as a performance, but it I mark it down in a 'best song' vote for being a cover version.

That leaves my pick....

Sparks

Sparks

Sparks would be my second fave on this list and if it was only originals it would be top.

When watching TOTP, Ron Mael used to look like a proper freak.

But we weren't to know that Jimmy Saville was the one to be concerned about.

I wouldn't be unhappy if Disturbed won it, it's a great version of the song.

Siouxsie and the Banshees did a decent version of TTABEFBOU, on that covers album which I used to play non-stop

I didn't think I was being cryptic

Didn't have the energy to write the full title

Ah... or the full initials, which would be TTABEFTBOU

[onemoreslogan]

It's a good cover, and there's something to be said for pumping Simon and Garfunkel through a metal effects pedal, but it's still a cover, It takes a hell of a cover for me to vote for it over an original for these exercises. Even though it's rare for one of my nominations to make it this far and I'm loathe to vote elsewhere, I think I'll go:

Zombie

[Mountain]

I'd have to go with Vienna.

The problem with it,like Golden Brown by the Stranglers, is that it's become the clichéd 1980s synth number, overplayed and almost kitsch. When I listen to both now I try to tell myself I'm hearing them for the first time, what are they like. And they are just perfect.

I missed a letter Sara, I'll blame it on my non-acceptance of American grammar

Blame away! I'm using it as my excuse for not knowing what you were on about!
