Cover Wars: A Decade Of Hits (1969 – 1979)

Good Afternoon. I hope all of our readers had a fantastic long weekend and as we ease back into a shortened work week, I thought I’d supply some good ‘ol American Rock & Roll this week for the Cover Wars. So let’s take a look at the works of The Allman Brothers Band.

As you may have read last week, I’m diving into greatest hits and compilation discs to make life a little easier and I am continuing that this week with a few alterations. The release A Decade Of Hits (1969 – 1979) features 16 tracks off of five ABB releases. Well, this Cover Wars is going to feature 14 of those tracks off four of those albums. Don’t blame me for being a slacker, blame the thousands of bands out there who have yet to cover either Wasted Words or Crazy Love. It’s possible that I missed them, if I did PLEASE point me in the direction of some covers of these tunes.

As always, you must register/login to Imeem to listen to these tracks in their entirety (If you’re only getting 30 seconds, you’re not logged in).

That’s the audio for 12 of the tracks, we’ve got YouTube’s for two others, so READ ON after the jump for: The voting, the videos, my short write-ups on the tracks and the results from last week’s entry featuring the singles of The Police (Spoiler Alert: We’ve got another addition to the CW Hall of Fame)

LoC: Political Celebrity Death Match Round 1

Instead of dwelling on the ever increasing price of gas, the war and everything else wrong with our country or the rest of the world we thought it would be nice to take a breather from all the bad vibes and have some fun.

So this week we’re going to take a look at a few celebrities that are endorsing or aligning themselves with presidential candidates and hopefully get a laugh or two in the process. Welcome to the first round of Political Celebrity Death Match 2008.


I’ve gathered some research on celebrities and who they endorse; now they must battle it out Celebrity Death Match style in your imagination!
