Happy bonus Sunday. I’ll be taking us through Divisions G, H and I. Division G is anchored by my choice for “Best Cover of All-Time”, with Jimi’s smoking version of All Along the Watchtower. Today features two out of the remaining four Radiohead songs, and I know some people have knives out for them. Meanwhile, the Shins and Jane’s Addiction face elimination.

Living the Dream 
I mean, isn’t Respect the best cover of all time? Admittedly, you are entitled to your opinion, just got Otis on the mind lately.

This one not only goes to 11, but apparently to 99
What can I say — I love Radiohead. Or I hadn’t had my coffee yet when I was voting this morning. 🙂
You can bump it down to a 9.
Those were the conditions to get Lindsay voting again, actually.

i think i need to work on being more opinionated
Only voting on matchips for which I have both songs on my iPod- in an intense non-Internet writing week:
With or Without You 7
Jane Says 7.5
Wowy starts strong but is just so annoying by the end. I promise I’m not just saying that bc it knocked out Sweet Thing. Percy, total surprise.
Good Vibrations 5.5
New Slang 8.5
New Slang never changed my life. But in my current mindset of 2006 post-Katrina Mississippi, it makes much, much more sense.
