This March, we pit 64 Beatles covers against each other in what we call Moptop Madness.
Yesterday’s winners: Johnny Cash, “In My Life” and The Breeders, “Happiness Is a Warm Gun”
The winners of some of Round One’s hardest-fought battles go head-to-head today. First, Siouxsie and the Banshees’ gothic “Helter Skelter” faces Wilson Pickett’s soulful “Hey Jude.” Then, it’s all acoustic when Tenacious D’s “Abbey Road Medley” challenges Elliott Smith’s “Because.”

Are you kidding me? Wilson Pickett’s cover is FLAWLESS! Of COURSE he gets it this round!
As for the other two, I literally flipped a coin because Tenacious D have a hilariously awesome cover while Elliott Smith’s is heartbreakingly gorgeous (much like the entirety of the rest of their respective canons). The D won my flip, but really, both deserve it in my mind.
