Wire win this because for many reasons, several of them being Graham Lewis's voice.

I am in total agreement. Not one of the Fabs' most fab, anyway.


Dr Rock

Fox On The Run  - The Sweet

Fox On The Run - Manfred Mann


Dr Rock

Things Can Only Get Better   - Kylie Minogue
Things Can Only Get Better   - Howard Jones
Things Can Only Get Better   - D Ream   

I won't do the links cos none of them are great. Kylie wins though.

I think Torse takes it; his links actually lead to two different songs.

Stump!

ah, mick....

kev's a mate, comes round, borrows basses.... I should see if he's got spare copies of any stump stuff- it's quite hard to get hold of these days.


Malibu by Hole or Malibu by Miley Cyrus? I like them both.

Jockice

The Fear by Pulp beats The Fear by Lily Allen.

another Mr. Lizard

'The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke' - Queen or Euros Childs?

Pointer Sisters - Automatic
Prince - Automatic

A rare loss for Prince on this one. And very confusing, as the Pointer Sisters song sounds like something written by Prince.
Not a chance. The Prince song is way better.

I'm a big Prince fan and 1999 is one of my favourite albums of his, but I have to agree with Twed the Pointer Sisters song is a banger.

rue the polywhirl

I'd vote for the Pointer Sisters one, mainly thanks to the Vice City effect. I probably enjoyed the radio stations more than the game itself.

Will have to disagree. Prince's Automatic is utterly quirky, with that sparse keyboard and that minimalist chorus: A.U.T.O-matic.
The Pointer Sisters track is a straightforward pop number.

Sebastian Cobb

I like the Pointer Sisters, although i still reckon my favourite work of theirs is the Pinball Number Count.

I know what that is without clicking. And I agree completely. Such wild time signatures in those tracks.

Twed

I didn't know it at the time but Pinball Number Count was the best song I heard as a child. I was scared by its oddness at the time, but it was so good. And now I like jazz.



Crabwalk

A big one is 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', where you've got the famous John/Taupin track and also the much-interpreted Bacharach/David song. Both great, but my vote is with the latter for the sublime Astrud Gilberto version.

Jerzy Bondov

Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel
Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars

The brass neck on this short arse Bruno Mars cunt is unbelievable. Yeah mate, go ahead and give your shitey first-dance-at-a-tasteless-wedding dog egg exactly the same name as a really famous song by one of the most successful musicians, shaggers and short arses of the 20th century. You hat prannock.

Also "Fade Away"

Oasis win that by a nose.

Also, I'm never linking to Joy Division.
