Differently this round I want you to pick your top three choices so hopefully this time the points are more spread out (last round saw 6 people share 3rd place).

Being the idiot I am I didn't read the post, just saw the poll and voted for one

Not the only mate! Haha!

I've amended the poll so you can alter your vote if you wish to choose 3.

Cheers Hero - you're a star! Haha!

When does this round finish?

When more people have listened to the mighty Rock Sugar

It's today it finishes, my spreadsheet is at home or else I'd have put it up by now.

Next round will be...

The 80s

It can be any track at all that was in the UK top 40 from Jan 1st 1980 to Dec 31st 1989.

I have voted for my top 3, for me there should be only 1 clear winner frm those

wow - 80s is a pretty broad canvas! I can imagine everything from The Clash and The Stranglers to Joe Dolce, via Duran Duran and The Weathergirls :-P

I'm very surprised as to where I finished this time.
The three I wanted had all gone prior to me getting to chose.

you are all philistines - Papa was a Rolling Stone is awesome. Bah Humbug.

I don't have a clue which one was mine, as all three of my choices are present. (and all have done relatively well!)

The three I thought would be up there were

Johnny Cash (my personal fave cover)
Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Buckley ( I think X Factor may have knocked it's chances)

I chose Muse, I nearly picked Aretha Franklin's Respect.

Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Buckley were both on my list

none of you mofos went for was not was though

Yep, get them in quick!

Ive sent mine off already

sent the winning one

No I sent that actually Y I

let battle commence

What are we choosing?

An 80's tune KB!

Nice one!

Have you been sent all the submissions yet Hero?

yep got them all now and new one is just about to go up

I just looked at the results and yet again a song that's been released in the last 6 months is apparently in the top 4 greatest covers?

How is Ellie Gouldings version of 'Your Song' better than Jeff Buckley?? :huh:

Ellie Goulding's version of Your Song is shocking. At least with the other top ones you can (at least) say it is as good as the original!

Agreed.

I completely agree on this, but like any poll ever done on 'greatest' then there is always a lean to things that are fresh in the mind.
