He's right, tho, I always wondered what that little acoustic ditty near the end of the Help! album would've sounded like when covered by another musician.

Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude and Aerosmith's Come Together come to mind immediately.

Maybe if we did it on a 10 point scale, we wouldn't run into a draw. Besides that, I think the number scale might be a better way of evaluating artists than what we've been doing. At the very least, its a good way to present an argument.

I got a chuckle out of that, too, but then I realized that I've never heard any of the supposedly hundreds of covers of "Yesterday".

There are quite a few artists that are close. What I'm thinking now is that I'll add Kanye, The Dominoes, Johnny Otis, Joe Turner, Whitney, and Guns 'n' Roses and drop The Sex Pistols, The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Chicago, and Yes.

And doesn't Joe Turner have one notable rock 'n' roll song?

Shake, Rattle and Roll
Chains Of Love
Flip, Flop and Fly
Honey Hush
Corrina, Corrina
Well All Right
Morning, Noon and Night
Boogie Woogie Country Girl
TV Mama
Hide And Seek
The Chicken and The Hawk

Your boy Haley covered 4-5 of them.

I don't know about the others, but according to Wikipedia "Flip, Flop and Fly" is jump blues and "Corrina, Corrina" is blues.

I'll get back to you on that. I can't listen to stuff at work.

Does this sound like blues to you?

Still haven't listened to it, but the Wikipedia page for "Corrine, Corrina" actually doesn't mention the Big Joe Turner version at all. Apparently it's not one of the more notable recordings of it.

If other people want to present their arguments in that way, that's fine, but for me it would be hard to translate performance in criteria into numbers.

Definitely NOT album filler in the case of Marvin. His version is phenomenal.

Woah, Johnny Otis? He's not even in the Hall of Fame as a performer. And doesn't Joe Turner have one notable rock 'n' roll song?

Elvis covered "Blue Moon of Kentucky", too, but that doesn't make Bill Monroe a rock artist.
