What a song. There is Always Something There To Remind Me
Dionne Warwick
Lou Johnson
Sandie Shaw (Happy Birthday, Feb 26)
Naked Eyes, an eighties classic.
I can't pick a winner out this lot, they are all brilliant and unique.

That was a tight race but I'm going with Sandie Shaw on this one.

I think those are two different blood types. But beyond that, I give Neil Sadaka a downcheck on that disturbing jacket alone.

Taylor Swift is no doubt better looking. But beyond that...

Dancing In The Street
Martha (Reeves) and the Vandellas
Bowie and Jagger
The Bowie/Jagger effort is sometimes a good toe tapper but then Jagger's over the top solo vocals ruins it for me.

What?! No Van Halen? VH FTW! But, yeah, never liked the Bowie/Jagger duet. So, Martha and the Vandellas (if you don't count VH).

Good god I never liked any version of that song, not one.

Let's Dance
Bowie
Queen Anne
Bowie wins of course but the Queen Anne version is brilliant. It incorporates a few different musical styles brilliantly. Very impressed with this version. Non Bowie fans may actually prefer the Queen Anne version. So good.

Probably well known but just in case someone doesn't know, the guitar solos from "Let's Dance" were done by Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Poison Ivy. Not a great song but did well back in the day
The Coasters
The Lambrettas
The Lambrettas version is the better of a crap song.

The Tide Is High
The Paragons
Blondie
I never knew the Blondie version was a cover.
Not a huge difference but Blondie wins. Debbie Harry.

Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)
The Buzzcocks
Fine Young Cannibals
I really like the FYC version but it doesn't come close the Buzzcocks original.
