    Which song version do you prefer?

    I've just found Meatloaf doing Black Betty on Youtube, and I thought that there are lots of covers and versions of songs. So decide on which version you like best and select two more versions of the same song to compare.

    Which do you prefer?

    I agree with Ram Jam. I like the Billy Porter version of the two you posted.

    What about these two.

    Pink Floyd, hands down. That was an interesting cover, though.

    Sorry Papaya - I failed at my own game. I prefer the Billy Porter version. Apologies. I have altered my post.

    Blondie without a doubt. Funnily enough, the primary school I worked at had the Atomic Kittens in when they were starting out and promoting themselves to pre-teens. they did an afternoon of music. I wasn't impressed with them then either.

    What about:

    I'd find that hard to choose - both are great.

    A tough choice, but I'll go with the Temptations because the Stones didn't add enough in my opinion.

    I like both of these versions too.

    This is an excellent song! One of my favorites. I never knew that Gloria Jones sang it originally. I prefer the Soft Cell version.


    Jeff Buckley or Leonard Cohen?

    Definately Leonard Cohen's. It has a raw, evocative edge. He's been living as a Zen Monk for a few years apparently, before his latest tour.

    I can't work out which of these three are worse:
