MCPO Roger Collins - Yes I have. He is good also but Righteous Bros. My favorite. Guess I enjoyed the music to Top Gun so much that is what made them my favorite. Have heard one other do a super job on the somng but I don't know who he is.

The Voice 2016 Alisan Porter - Live Playoffs: "Cry Baby"

This past season of The Voice was won by an amazing vocalist named Alisan Porter (a former child star who played Curly Sue in the movie of that name). She performed Cry Baby with all the passion of the original by Janis Joplin but with far better vocal range and quality

My wife and I didn't start watching The Voice until the beginning of the second season. Fortunately we were able to go back and watch videos of the first season after we discovered how much we enjoyed it. We grew tired of American Idol about mid-way through its run and think is was a blessing for it to finally end. However, The Voice is still going in strong although, to be honest, we are awaiting the outcome of switching coaches with some trepidation

The Kink's "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen. Definitely played out, but one of the best covers ever.
A thrash version of Iron Butterfly's "In a Gadda Da Vida" by Slayer, condensed into 3 minutes...not my all time fave, but very interesting...lol

PO1 Brian Austin I was going to mention the Slayer cover simply because it was a pretty unique, and condensed, version of that song.

SSG Pete Fleming - I haven't watched that movie. I bought the 2Tone box set back in the late 90s and this song was always the stand out.

I liked the 181 version of "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell (not the original songwriter) but the Marilyn Manson version was much better (INO)
