As always we begin by recapping the results of last weeks poll. Although its not that shocking that Mr Buckley can out on top, I am positively amazed at the fact that he polled 89% of the vote compared with Leonard Cohen’s meagre 11%.
That means that the covers are 2-0 up. Can the originals fight back this week.
On the face of it, this weeks contest shouldn’t actually be a contest as we pit Nirvana’s iconic Smell’s Like Teen spirit up against Tori Amos. Yes, you read that right. I know it sounds like blasphemy to suggest anything could top Nirvana’s moment encapsulating original, but please, just give Tori a fair hearing before and make an informed decision. In fact Kurt himself described her version as a “great breakfast cereal version”
So here goes, The Original, by Kurt, Dave and the other guy
Tori Amos’ version

Tori’s version of this is so good that Patti Smith redid it the same vein on her latest cd. So there!

I really like Soulwax’s mash-up of ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ vs ‘Bootylicious’. It shouldn’t work but it does.
