This RaR brought both the closest rating and the most atrocious cover version. I don't know how you'll feel about me afterward. I also had to go with two devices for the fair comparison as the Bangles cover didn't pass Canadian customs.

Here we go.

Ring of Fire

Cash=98

SD=70

Hazy Shade of Winter

S&G=60 (It probably deserves better but it can't be played in the same neighbourhood as The Bangles)

Bangles=98 - They KILLED it!

Crimson & Clover-What a duel!!

Tommy James=98

Joan Jett=100

Somebody That I Used to Know

Gotye=100

Mayday Parade=35 -Flat start, lazy punk, totally ruined the song.

Trapped

Jimmy Cliff=90

The Boss=Not even fair to compare. It's his song now.

Great RaR, Paul! I still have a few "American Queen' match ups I need to get back to.
