Tainted Love
Hurt (soul wrenching version)
Respect (Iconic)
With a little Help from my friends

I may have to create another account to vote for Unchained Melody, Somewhere over the rainbow, Killing me Softly, and Knocking on Heavens Door.
I was a big Sinead O'Connor fan, but I never really got why nothing compares to you was so popular. Her earlier album The Lion and Cobra I really liked, I do not want what I haven't got was merely ok.

 

[I Am Legion]

The Man in Black is taking this one. In the 80s there were different groups depending on the music you liked. Headbangers (Metallica, Van Halen, Def Lep), Guidos (TKA, Johnny O, Cover Girls), Jocks/Preps (Classic Rock, Top 40, Pop) New Wave (Depeche Mode, Morrisey, Echo and the Bunnymen), Black (Hip Hop, R&B). I never liked the New Wave kids, they were super wise ass bitches. . So Tainted Love is out. I actually like New Wave now that I am older, but that song haunts me.
Aretha and Cocker again for me.

 

[MLarson]

1. All Along The Watch Tower
2. House of the Rising Sun
3. Nothing Compares 2 U
4. Unchained Melody

 

[cincymma79]

Honestly I will always love you should win quite easily. Nobody will ever touch that song again.

 

[Kryptt]

The Animals - House of the Rising Sun / Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World / Joe Cocker - With a Little Help of My Friends / Johnny Cash - Hurt

I prefer the Stereophonics version of Nothing Compares, a better version imo

 

[Goon Dog]

If you listen to Dylan's All Along the Watch Tower, or as much of it as you can suffer through, and then listen to Hendrix's version the choice is clear. Not only is it top 5 rock and roll recording for me, but also the greatest cover ever. Whitney's is probably the most successful, and it's incredible, but only 2nd for me.
