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

Yesterday’s winners: Coope, Boyes & Simpson, “Think for Yourself” and The Damned, “Help!”

Some unique matchups this morning. It’s the battle of the Bobs for match one as Bob Dylan’s live “Something” challenges Bobby McFerrin’s a cappella “Blackbird.” Then, for what will likely be the only time in the entire contest, two covers of the same song square off. Who does the better “Run for Your Life”: Cowboy Junkies or Spiers & Boden?

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.
