Kravitz turkey

Dingbod Kesterson, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:00 (seventeen years ago)

did you leave out Green Day just to make this hard?

some dude, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:02 (seventeen years ago)

This is the disk one poll. Green Day are on disc two, alongside Jack Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, and The Postal Service

Avril Lavigne - "Imagine"

I mean...

Mark G, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:03 (seventeen years ago)

Went for Avril, the original song's crap and she isn't likely to improve on it. Aerosmith and U2 way up there, too. I sorta kinda would like to hear the Big & Rich and Youssou N'Dour.

Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:04 (seventeen years ago)

xpost oh there are two discs? Be still my beating ax.

Mark G, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:04 (seventeen years ago)


If there is a "must have" album out for the summer of 2007, this is it. What could be better then getting some great tunes and serving a worthy cause at the same time. Yoko Ono donated the rights to John Lennon's entire catalog for this release, and I think it's something he would have been proud of.

Oh Amazon. 35 out of 36 found this review useful. To what end, I can't think.

who is ... bigelf?

http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/resources/classicrock/bigelf.jpg

this is bigelf, which means there is no way avril's song is the worst on this thing

n/a, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

voted aerosmith

n/a, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

Bigelf can try and look scary all they want but their name sounds like someone with a speech impediment trying to say 'Biggles'

Tom D., Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:16 (seventeen years ago)

I thought "big elf" was Aguilera's alter ego or something.

some dude, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:27 (seventeen years ago)

lol Kravitz "Cold Turkey"

Noodle Vague, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:31 (seventeen years ago)

Los Lonely Boys hamming it up on "Whetever Gets You Through The Night" is mynd-repellent.

myndbloom, Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:47 (seventeen years ago)

The REM was pretty blah. They brought almost nothing to the song. But it wasn't, like, patently offensive like the Avril.

Pancakes Hackman, Thursday, 17 July 2008 14:10 (seventeen years ago)

the u2 is the one i'd least look forward to.

Frogman Henry, Thursday, 17 July 2008 18:38 (seventeen years ago)

Has to be Lavigne.

Neil S, Thursday, 17 July 2008 19:20 (seventeen years ago)

Probably so.

Jakob Dylan featuring Dhani Harrison is kind of cute.

sonderangerbot, Thursday, 17 July 2008 22:11 (seventeen years ago)

i have come to realize that other than Sweet Emotion, Aerosmith very well might be my least favorite band of all time. So Aerosmith.

the table is the table, Thursday, 17 July 2008 22:29 (seventeen years ago)

Christina Aguilera. Bad song, annoying voice. No contest.

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 17 July 2008 22:44 (seventeen years ago)

the original song's crap

Rong

and she isn't likely to improve on it.

This is probably right though.

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 17 July 2008 22:45 (seventeen years ago)

i voted for corrine bailey rae

J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 July 2008 22:45 (seventeen years ago)

Why did Corinne Bailey Rae cross the road?

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:16 (seventeen years ago)

the whole thing is like Music For People Who Don't Like Music

StanM, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:24 (seventeen years ago)

Geir likes "Mother"?

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:25 (seventeen years ago)

I don't get it.

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:29 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I don't either. I thought he liked stuff like "Maybe I'm Amazed" better.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:31 (seventeen years ago)

No, I mean the Corrine Bailey Rae joke.

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:45 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I was doing the misdirection comedy thing. Lily Allen said CBR crossed the road to get to the middle.

It's, like, lunchtime in England, right?

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:47 (seventeen years ago)

So was I. And, no.

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:51 (seventeen years ago)

Wait, I was sort of joking. But one, two . . . wait a minute. I'm 10 hours earlierrrr tham u I thimled.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:00 (seventeen years ago)

it is 10:08 am.

And next on two-way Family Favourites...

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:09 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, eight hours. I'll be off now. . . .

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:14 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, Geir likes "Imagine" -- God, it pays to re-read. That's a pretty simple melody, though, isn't it? Next he'll be announcing he was wrong about the Sex Pistols or something.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:18 (seventeen years ago)

Two-way FF sounds right up my street right now, I'm afraid.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:20 (seventeen years ago)

There's a very good pastiche on one of the Beatles' christmas recordings.

It was exactly like that, but with boring records added. I was so glad it packed.

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:26 (seventeen years ago)

Thank "God" no one's attempted a cover of what we know as The Beatles' Christmas Album over here. I love (even prefer) some covers, but that one . . . ?

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 09:56 (seventeen years ago)

the 1966 one has scope...

"everywheare it's chrISTMASSSS!!"

Mark G, Monday, 21 July 2008 10:00 (seventeen years ago)

Someone will make melisma of that yet, I swear. SsssssSSSSsssSSSSssss

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 10:01 (seventeen years ago)

I think we've successfully derailed. Time for a celebratory play of "Why," I imagine. Imagine, yuk yuk.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Monday, 21 July 2008 10:04 (seventeen years ago)

Christina Aguilera (featuring Bigelf) - "Mother"
Lenny Kravitz - "Cold Turkey"
Jakob Dylan featuring Dhani Harrison - "Gimme Some Truth"
Avril Lavigne - "Imagine"

^^^ there is no possible way any of these are anything but awful (Bigelf?!), and one of them must be the winner.

Big & Rich - "Nobody Told Me"

^^^ this on the other hand sounds potentially great

Not about another poll, but that there is indeed a Disc 2 to this set.
