Too tough to call - both brilliant
rick
there are some great choices being made here, to answer the first set of questions about the 'today' album, here are mine:
1. I Can Help. A quite simply brilliant cover version of this track.
2. And I Love You So. quite a hard choice this one, but E.I.C. has a great version of this track.
3. Susan When She Tried. no second thoughts about this one.
4. Bringin' It Back. although to be honest there are a couple of great outtake versions of g.g.g.o.h.
last but not least, it has to be the E.I.C. version of 'hurt', if anyone ever doubted elvis vocal in 1977 this track proved all the doubters and critics wrong, a pure masterpiece.
it looks as though this poll could go on forever so how about this for a battle of tracks: 'for the heart' v 'stranger in the crowd'????????
TODAY:-
1. I Can Help
2. And I Love You So
3. Susan When She Tried
4. Bringin' It Back
Hurt vs. Unchained Melody:-
Hurt
For The Heart vs. Stranger In The Crowd:-
For The Heart
I love UNCHAINED MELODY so it gets my vote!!!
Destination deals the cards we're just playing.
stranger in the crowd always been one of my favs
bringing it back
LETS BE FRIENDS!
1 - Fairytale v. I Can Help
Fairytale is a song I really dig, though more so the live versions.
2 - And I Love You So v. Pieces of My Life
AILYS is another favorite, but Pieces is a masterpiece.
3 - Susan When She Tried v. Shake A Hand
This one wasn't as difficult a choice.
4 - Green, Green Grass of Home v. Bringin' It Back
My appreciation for BIB grew immensely once I heard the 6363 Sunset outtake, after which I suggested it be released in hopes of getting Elvis another #1 on the country charts (this was during the remix craze). So yeah, I kinda like it.
Hurt(live or studio) VS unchained melody
Extremely difficult choice. With so many live performances of Hurt and various versions of the two officially released performances alone of Unchained Melody, I'm gonna wimp out like elvisdownunder and rickon this one and call it a draw. Those two are simply awesome songs delivered in a way that only Elvis could pull off. Witnessing either in person must have been incredible.
'for the heart' v 'stranger in the crowd'
It's funny how your tastes change; ten years ago I would have answered differently.
...you won't forget me when I go.
I pick STRANGER IN THE CROWD!
PS We should set a rule that there cannot be a draw!Thats what I think.

I agree completely even though my last choice was a draw for me, I also agree with someone who said it's funny how your tastes change because many moons ago i would have picked 'for the heart' but the older you get the more you appreciate the more mature side that elvis developed in the 70's. Ok let's dump that one and try another(and remember there cannot be a draw between them),
HOW ABOUT 'DOWN IN THE ALLEY' v 'TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME'
my fave out of these two is d.i.t.a., but i'll leave it up to you now to decide, good luck
The winner is...DOWN IN THE ALLEY.

dylan was supposed to have said that el,s version of t.i.s.a.l.t. was his favorite cover of any of his songs by anyone
but ill have to plump for d.i.t.a. because its such a great rocking blues song

'DOWN IN THE ALLEY' v 'TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME'
Agreed, no more easy out by calling it a tie. I'll commit...
Hurt(live or studio) VS unchained melody
Man, that was hard! I keep thinking about the Indianapolis version of Hurt though, and that's what pushes that song over the top for me.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Rickster,
I really cannot do this....I can't choose between these 'Spinout Soundtrack' bonus songs....both of them are immortal in every way!
I think 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' is a little more known generally than 'Down In The Alley' due to Dylan's endorsement of Elvis' version of his song. But, for those that have not heard 'Down In The Alley' - what a great shame!
Sorry mate...I just cannot vote.

hi n.e.a., i admire your honesty and i have been put on the spot many times like this before, the hardest question i've been asked ever is: 'what is your all time favourite elvis track?', that is an impossible question to answer and people think i'm backing out when i say there are too many to choose from. Elvis has to this very day a massive back catalogue and it seems near impossible to select one track from hundreds, there are probably people out there who have a particular favourite for a particular reason and that would make an interesting poll just to see the results so your comment is valid enough for me
If you cant pick one track just dont vote at all...cause we have a rule that there cannot be a draw.

What about: I BEG OF YOU VS I GOT STUNG??? My favorite is I GOT STUNG.
Destination deals the cards we're just playing.
gotta agree there, i got stung is a great number. i do like i beg of you, but i got stung has more punch to it
