Do people not know the other Rick Rubin-era Johnny Cash stuff is great too or why does only Hurt ever appear on this website haha

 

The Debra Danielsen song goes hard. Kinda reminds me of Oxytocin by Billie Eilish

 

I totally thought of "Rusty Cage" from American II, but Cash was 64 when that came out lol.

American IV has lots of great ones though, you're right.

 

That was my first time hearing Hurt and I am in love.

Oh Me Oh My and Hello Happiness were a couple others that really stood out

 

I think I forgot to vote for Hurt, fuck lol

 

I'm going to try and be objective, but "Hurt" is one of the most overused songs on Music League.

 

This is so fucking good. I think it would have done well if you submitted it

 

oh my god thank you to whoever submitted this debra danielsen song

 

I've never seen a cover song round without it haha

 

Same! If I'm in a league with downvotes and it comes up I downvote it

Whoever submitted it should've gone with "The Man Comes Around" instead.

 

I mean, even outside of this website, it's one of his most popular songs at this point

How is this even possible??

 

I sorta hated the song when it first came out (young and dumb etc etc,) but I think it's great now. Definitely prefer the original though

 

Wtf

 

Am I crazy for thinking the Shatner Common People is better than the original?

 

Yes

 

No

 

Maybe So

 

Damn I bet this Bob Seeger song makes some people cry. Not me tho. And definitely not at the last verse.

 

Okay so my initial pick was the latest Madonna track, or more accurately The Weeknd feat. Madonna, as I've heard it a lot recently and it's the first one that came to mind. Turns out she turned 65 literally weeks after the song was released, oop.

I also thought of submitting a song from David Bowie's Blackstar but considering he passed away like... the day of the album release, I wasn't sure if it'd be insensitive or something... idk

 

I used the title track from this record for a category last season called “RIP” where we had to pick a song from a deceased artist. So nah it wouldn’t have been insensitive - but it also did like middle of the pack results wise so yeah lol

 

Pete Seeger. Bob Seger is totally different.

 

The Cohen track feels similar to a Blackstar track in that regard. An artist making an album about their own mortality (and absolutely crushing it).

 

No you're thinking of Sega Megadrive.

 

Whomever thought of John Carpenter, good job. Also, we can't even escape Justin Vernon in this round!
