Hey now, when I was in 8th grade there was NO SONG out there that could beat Smooth Criminal by AAF for me.

It was the theme song to my 8th grade year.

It's okay.

Jacko's version of Come Together is better IMO.

I absolutely prefer this rocked up version of Hey Jude to the original, especially when it really starts to kick in after the 1 minute mark -
https://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01F ... MUJjR0E9PQ
Tim "Ripper" Owens (Judas Priest / Iced Earth), vox
George Lynch (Dokken / Lynch Mob), guitar
Bob Kulick (Meat Loaf / Paul Stanley Band), rhythm guitar
Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge / Beck / Bogert & Appice), bass
Chris Slade (AC/DC), drums

Original version -

Wow, hello fellow Burton fan. Burton is the fuckin man! My dad wanted to name me after him he loves him so much. Mom vetoed that one

And I like Tesla and the FMEB versions pretty equally - not like there's a whole lot that separates the two.

I liked William Hung's version of La Vida Loca better than Ricky Martin's. :lol:

Jimi's All Along The Watchtower

Toto's While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Live Amsterdam version)

Styx's I Am The Walrus

Shaw-Blades Summer Breeze is the EQUAL to the Seals-Crofts original

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar (technically a cover)

Jim Peterik's World Stage - I Can't Hold Back (sort of a cover)

REO's "Rock & Roll Music" is the best I've heard thanks to Richrath's guitar work!
