I'm not a Katie Perry hater but that song sounds like it was derived from a pop song template.

Not Billy Joel's best but still enough to win this round.

Stairway to Heaven.
Not even close.

If this were a race, Hotel California would be 20 laps down with 19 laps to go.

Unless Katy has her boobs out, Billy Joel.

The Weight

Here is another great version of that song

Weight is a good cover. If I was listening in a bar or garage.

Gotta respect Guy, the old man is one of the greats. Stolen chords though so not his best work.

I am going to vote neither.

I would have voted for this version. It is the original! I remember it well, having survived the 60's in California.

I have read a few comments about the songs being posted and just want to remind everyone you can link me songs to post for the challenge. Also yes I am very likely to post less known versions of a song, or even lesser known songs, and yes the intent of which is to maybe introduce something not known. I understand people may not like them but again feel free to PM me any songs. THanks YR

Fastball: The Way:

I never understood the hate that developed for Coldplay, not my favorite band, but not worth the vitriol they received. But song to song The Way is the way.

For me it's Cold play. Not a fan of either but Fastball to me sounds like Tom Petty with diarrhea and no place to take a shit.

Cold Play

That song sounds a bit like a Squeeze song and I've always liked Squeeze.
