Craig Benfer Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 These are my four favorite cover versions of "Go All The Way". Let's vote to see which version EC.com proclaims the best of these versions. 1.) Trip Shakespeare 2. David Bryce 3. Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs 4. The Killers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Craig, good choices! I have about 20 GATW covers. Are we talking official recorded covers, or do live covers count? I'll throw out a live one with a bonus track of Walk Away Renee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda B Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 My vote is for number 3. Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs. It probably won't get the most votes. But there is something very fresh and intriguing about that version with a female voice. Just something totally different. I love the vocal blend as well. Thanks for starting this Craig. I enjoyed listening to all of these versions. RB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Good version Kirk, but in this poll, No Live versions allowed. Vote on the 4 I posted, then anyone can present a challenger down the road in an attempt to de-throne it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LobsterLvr Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 By chance this live cover showed up today in my YouTube feed. It's pretty darn good! Definitely gets my vote for one of the better live, bar band covers of GATW: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 We're all tied up at 3 each for Bryce & Hoffs/Sweet.' We need more votes. I'd like the winner to receive at least 10 votes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Great thread, Craig. Well, let's see. Trip Shakespeare gets a D. Good spirit, but they're in too much of a rush, and the opening "ha!' and "oh-yeahs" fall flat. David Bryce gets a C+ from me — like it but it's just above average. I give The Killers a solid B — superb energy... you can tell this is a song they idolize. But... for me, the winner is the Sweet/Hoffs reading. Something about having a woman sing this song is a so appealing —and when it's Susanna Hoffs, one of my five or so favorite female pop singers, even better. Matthew Sweet knows what he's doing, too. So they get an A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Sweet/Hoffs…David Bryce a close second… P.S.-I wish it was The Sweet and not not Matthew Sweet… We could use a good fight around here…(I’m tired of whipping James’ ass all the time)… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
