Interactive Poll #16 - Under Cover

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After missing the last couple of polls, I'm back in the saddle with the promised (or threatened?) poll about cover songs. I've always had a thing about covers - the good ones, of course! - and am curious to see how other people tastes run regarding this particular "subgenre" of music. 

First of all, no rush at all! I posted this now because I had some time, but everyone who'd like to participate can take as long as they need to think about their own nominations and post them here. As this is August, and a lot of people may be away from home, we'll let this run all week through next weekend. 

There is a very wide range of music to be explored, so this time around I'll make things easy, and set only a couple of rules. Eligible songs should fall into these three categories:

- the band or artist who released the original is on PA/the band or artist who did the cover is not;
- the band or artist who released the original is not on PA/the band or artist who did the cover is;
- neither the band or artist who released the original nor the band or artist who did the cover is on PA.

This means, for instance, that a Beatles cover by Genesis would NOT be eligible, because both bands are on PA. In any case, with these rules, a whole lot of great music will be eligible to be posted in this poll. Hope this is clear enough!
