This March, we pit 64 Beatles covers against each other in what we call Moptop Madness.

Yesterday’s winners: Alison Krauss, “I Will” and The Breeders, “Happiness Is a Warm Gun”

Some real winners today. Well, two winners and two losers, like always. First, Johnny Cash’s late-career “In My Life” reminiscing squares off with Cara Dillon and Sam Lakeman’s youthful “Wait” optimism. Then, mellow meets spastic when Nick Cave’s laid-back “Let It Be” challenges Ludwig von 88’s world-spazz “Come Together.”

Listen to each pairing below, then vote for your favorite. For added sway, try to convince others to vote your way in the comments. Voting closes in 24 hours.
