....I liked the way Marty Robbins sang this.Just something about his voice and the song went together.

Foo Fighters vs. Dinosaur Jr. "Wheels" just doesn't seem particularly notable, to me, in either a good or a bad way. Not much pulling me in here, but not much to complain about. I guess I just like "Over It" a little more. Katy Perry vs. Sean Paul "Waking Up in Vegas" is just another pop song, whereas "So Fine" is an obnoxious pop song. I'll go for "Waking Up in Vegas". Phoenix vs. Faunts "1901" Has some pretty good moments, and also some fairly mediocre "indie rock" moments. Nothing too special, in my book, but still one of the better songs so far in this part. From the beginning of "Feel.Love.Thinking.Of.", I already really like the subdued, more atmospheric approach. Actually a very nice song, plus the video was quite interesting. I'll go with that. Family Force 5 vs. The Life and Times "Get Your Back Off the Wall" is just plain offensive. Oh, and throw in some very silly pictures of the band in ridiculous outfits. The Life and Times is a band I've been meaning to check out since Aaron Epley's guest spot in the new Pelican album, and I can tell within 10 seconds of starting the song that it will probably win this match-up. "Old Souls" is a nice little song, and I liked the video for this one, too. Justin Bieber vs. "Weird Al" Yankovic I can't help but feeling like I've heard this Bieber song before... I'll take "Craigslist"

Wow, I didn't realize that there were so many covers of that song but probably like most everyone else, I'm most familiar with Glen Campbell's version. I would guess that he had the biggest hit with it.

Can't say I have heard every version (probably heard half of them). Glen Campbell is my favorite of the ones I know.

Glen Campbell for sure! It's one of his signature songs!

i'm most familiar with glen campbell's version and would not want to listen to any others' version unless they can pull it off as well as he did.

I have to go with, Mr. Glen Campbell. To me, he is the song.



Hope this helps... :-) :-)
