This morning, I've put together a battle for you guys that I feel really strongly about. Not only is the song one that is on my shortlist for "best song ever written," and by one of my favorite bands -- but I have very strong feelings about who the rightful winner of this battle should be. Nonetheless, because this is what I do, I'm handing it over to the floor to debate, vote, and figure out who the rightful winner of the "Love Will Tear Us Apart" battle really is.

 

I now present the evidence:

 

The Cure:

 

 

A cool note on this cover: I remember when it was recorded, for Triple J radio. They actually had a contest and the tambourine is being played by a fan of the band. That's pretty awesome, no?

 

Fall Out Boy:

 

So... I'm going to keep my thoughts on this under my non-exisent hat for the moment. There is good and bad in both, but one is clearly the winner of this battle. And as is always the case, there can only be one winner, so vote early, and vote often, using the comments.
