Match Z: Love Reign O'er Me vs. Breakerfall

[bada]

I was gonna bitch about using a cover but I might vote for Sonic Reducer or Fuckin Up against some originals.

[epilogue]

LROM is probably a better song. But I just don't like voting for covers in these kinds of things. So Breakerfall it is.

[tommymtcom]

Breakerfall. Anything PJ succeeds at in LROM is on the backs of the band that wrote it.

I'm not a fan of the original, but Eddie just sounds so good on it.

Same - LROM kicks ass. I'm really surprised that Breakerfall is winning this one (even though I voted for it).

[BurtReynolds]

I don't like either song. Abstain.

breakerfall, guys

Yes, but it's close.

Yes, but it's close.

LROM is ok... but i was never a huge fan of the who or this cover. breakerfall is just a better listening experience to me

I actually don't like The Who or their version of LROM, but like Stip said Eddie sounds awesome on the Pearl Jam version. I also much prefer Pearl Jam's version of Baba O'reilly.

Jesus wept.

[digster]

I get preferring Baba to the Who's version; PJ, even if it's just due to lack of synthesizers onstage, make it their own. I guess, just speaking for me, I find it hard to understand how someone could dislike LROM by the Who and like PJ's version. It's practically a note-for-note cover.

[stip]

There's more bite in pjs version and I love eddies voice and don't care much for daltrey

[BurtReynolds]

LROM really has no place outside of the album its on. Its a ridiculous song and a weird choice for a cover.

[McParadigm]

At this point you should just be impressed that they haven't decided en mass to think of this as a "Pearl Jam song," or that they even bothered to investigate the fact that there was a different version in the first place.

I still expect a day to come where someone offers an altered version that skips past "all that boring piano," and everyone thanks them endlessly.

[stip]

Even by your lofty standards that was a remarkably condescending post

[tommymtcom]

Yep.

I'm surprised to see this much negativity about LROM. I thought it was pretty well received when it came out.

[stip]

It was. I recall McParadigm really praising eddies performance in particular.

[stip]

I don't think speeno liked it, but that's to be expected

[McParadigm]

It was. I recall McParadigm really praising eddies performance in particular.

Yeah it's a great performance of a fantastic song. I voted for it here.

[Kaius]

I like both but Breakerfall wins

[hlniv]

I don't like either song. Abstain.

Thanks for sharing. I bet you don't vote in elections, either, then
