Thank you for reminding me of that "After the Gold Rush" cover! Fantastic stuff.

However, "Londonderry Air" is one of my favourite melodies, so I must give it my vote.

EDIT: BTW, I highly recommend the King's Singers version of "Blackbird". It was my first exposure to them. Phenomenal--they even have "tick, tick" in the background.

Danny Boy is a beautiful tune which, rather like Mull of Kintyre, conjures up nostalgic scenes of rural sunsets, etc, etc. For me though, the version here is a little too slow and exalted, so, out of loyalty to good old NY, I´m going for Prelude:-

King´s Singers: 2
Prelude: 2

The King's Singers one is more interesting because of the great harmonies in there. The Prelude harmonies were nice and all but overall that one just bored me.

Alright I'm calling this one. DooooownWiiiiithVoooooweeeels, you're up.

All I got is hiphop, hope that's okay. If not just skip me:

Diabolic


Drake

Any genre is cool, no instruments allowed.

The Diabolic one was way better.

Oh no! Hip-hop! ;)
Have to say there was a world of difference. Diabolic sounded like he meant what he said, was all angry and frustrated and it sounded, if I may use the term, "street" (particularly liked the line "Walk a mile in my shoes? You wouldn't make it half a block!") whereas Drake seemed to be phoning it in, was stilted and just not at all a smooth delivery, almost like someone who thinks he can rap but can't. Not that I know anything about him but that's how it seemed to me.

Anyways...

To be fair, one is a written and the other is a genuine freestyle, but I wanted artists that had different kinda flow/sound.

I'm all about the improv.
