It's time to vote for our next two festivals which will run from Sept 1 to Oct 31. Voting starts now and runs for 5 days. You can change your vote any time until the closing of the poll on August 30th. To do so, click "Remove vote" to cancel your previous vote, then vote again.

This poll is for the "Covers" festival. There is a separate poll for the "Originals" festival. Please vote in both polls.

Remember, "Covers" is covers only, and "Originals" is originals preferred but covers welcome unless otherwise stated in the festival's description.



  • The Wrecking Crew - Covers of songs featuring members of The Wrecking Crew. See this Wikipedia page.

  • Hit Covers - Not merely covers of hit songs. Rather, this would be covers of hit songs which themselves were covers, where the cover was more successful than the original. For example, "Shout" by The Isley Brothers was released in 1959 and peaked at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100. But Lulu's cover in 1964 peaked at #7 in the UK, so it was far more successful than the original. Another example is "Without You" which was written by Badfinger and released on their 1970 album "No Dice" without much attention at the time. But Harry Nilsson's 1971 cover of the song was a #1 hit and Mariah Carey's 1994 cover, based on Nilsson's version rather than the Badfinger original, went to #1 in the UK and #3 in the US.
