Hmmm, not sure about that one. Katrina and the Waves and two other top 25 hits in the UK and US and another song that was top 50. |
Quote:
I disagree. As Maple Leafs said. to find a hit for both the original and the cover is not easy. I had originally seen 5 or 6 and Hurt wasn't among them. I don't think I had heard that one. |
Quote:
When ihear that one Ithink of Weird Al's version. :D |
Quote:
Wow, they had a Top 20 in '89. Never heard of it. I'm not real concerned about their UK charting, or winning Eurovision either. I'd be open for a ruling here. |
Quote:
It is what it is. The voting will be the ruling. :) (I wouldn't worry about international success either) |
To me one hit wonder is an American hit.

Quote:
I think its a fine pick, perfectly appropriate. |

I think it is appropriate as well. I don't remember them charting a second song.

you might get into trouble with the guy who got the beatles though. |

Nah, he's alright. |

Don't worry man I hadn't heard of it until I looked it up :) |

One of the greatest true epic songs:
Epic - 2112 - Rush |
Quote:
It would only be a grand slam if everyone has heard of it. |
Quote:
That was my second epic pick. |
Quote:
I was surprised it hadn't gone earlier because they do "epic" songs polls, that's usually up there with Stariway or Bohemian. I originally thought of two other songs but they belonged in the Classic category better and I have already gotten in trouble for busting categories. |
Quote:
Nothing wrong with putting a classic in another category. :) That's a very flexible category, unlike Love Song. :) |
Quote:
The only reason I took American Pie over 2112 was because I think more people will recognize it. |
With pick 9.10 I am pleased to select as my crossover song Faith No More - Epic. Rapcore at its finest.
Classic - 1.10 Hotel California - The Eagles Epic - 2.1 American Pie - Don McLean Arena - 6.1 Arena - Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss Trendsetter - 8.1 - Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones Love Song - 5.10 - My Heart Will Go On (Theme from Titanic) - Celine Dion One-Hit Wonder - 3.10 Macarena - Los Del Rio Party - 7.10 - Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger Crossover - 9.10 - Epic - Faith No More Cover - Anti-Establishment - 4.1 We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister |
I'm up at 10.2?
|
With my pick at 10.1 and final pick in the cover category and taking my second female choice. Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies.
Classic - 1.10 Hotel California - The Eagles Epic - 2.1 American Pie - Don McLean Arena - 6.1 Arena - Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss Trendsetter - 8.1 - Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones Love Song - 5.10 - My Heart Will Go On (Theme from Titanic) - Celine Dion One-Hit Wonder - 3.10 Macarena - Los Del Rio Party - 7.10 - Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger Crossover - 9.10 - Epic - Faith No More Cover - 10.1 - Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies Anti-Establishment - 4.1 We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister |
Quote:
you are now. |
Ok, now I go. One of the best female crossovers, #1 pop and #1 country:
Crossover - Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry (10.2) |
I agree on the one-hit wonders.. there shouldn't be a "ruling", but the voters shouldn't punish Maple Leafs mercilessly...
Lee Greenwood is FAR from a one hit wonder and I'd be surprised if people don't recognize that.. imo it is the most clear category and he's just not even close. |
A guy I am a fan of that just didn't make the draft.

It also could've gone in the "cover" category, which would have made me laugh. |

First we'll start with a small anecdote. I realized after my last pick that I should've thought ahead. I picked my One-Hit Wonder and stepped away from the computer. About 20 minutes later I realized the huge mistake I made. Both of the people picking (4 picks, 2 teams) before my next pick already had a One-Hit Wonder. By definition, there's no way they block me on that one. I then sweat for the next hour or so to see if I got blocked on my Cover Song. We'll now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
I hope this pleases the people that seem to be putting a lot of stock into the Cover Song. While the original version was not a hit (in the billboard sense), it is well known that the original version exists and is a fantastic song on it's own. Bob Marley wrote this fantastic song with the Wailers, but Eric Clapton perfected "I Shot the Sheriff". How I managed to snake Eric Clapton in the 10th round I'm not sure, but I thank vtbub for taking a song he did with Derek and the Dominos for his Epic. :) Classic - 8.3 - "A Change is Gonna Come", Sam Cooke Epic - 6.3 - "Space Oddity", David Bowie Arena - 5.8 - "You Shook Me All Night Long", AC/DC Trendsetter - 2.3 - "Rapper's Delight", The Sugarhill Gang Love Song - 7.8 - "Unforgettable" - Natalie Cole with Nat King Cole One-Hit Wonder - 9.8 - "Mickey", Toni Basil Party - 4.3 - "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)", Beastie Boys Crossover - 1.8 - "Walk This Way", Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith Cover - "I Shot The Sheriff", Eric Clapton Anti-Establishment - 3.8 - "Killing in the Name", Rage Against the Machine |

The band recorded it twice, with different singers. The version you likely know is, technically, a "cover." |

I really enjoy the Goldfinger cover. It's one I considered, but it's one of the many cover songs I love that no one (or very few people) would recognize. |
Quote:
Except that I hate Toni Basil with a passion. |

I hate when people write this, but it's just too accurate: LOL |

Crossover- On The Road Again- Willie Nelson 10.4
Thank You and Goodnight. |

My list of covers I put together for this is loaded with this situation. I'd name some because everyone has picked a cover, but there's always the possibility it could spark someone's thoughts in another category. :) |

Quote:
I can't wait to see 10.6 :) |
dola: probably appropriate for picking your anti-establishment song.
|
Be interesting to see each song listed by category and in the order they were picked...
