One of the weaker songs from LOT and a stronger one from Mr. Bungle. Both the studio and live version of My Ass is On Fire is really awesome. Since I love both banRAB I thought it was going to be a tough choice but I'll easily go with Mr. Bungle here.

Butthole Surfers - 2
Mr. Bungle - 6
 
Hmm, this is kind of a tough one because I don't really care for either song or artist. My gut told me to go with Gnarls Barkley because I've heard the Seal song a million and a half times. But part of me feels like giving Seal the vote for being more of a classic song. Only relistening will make the call. And here's what it boils down to: I may not really like either song, but I'd rather listen to the Gnarls track from start to finish than the Seal song.

Seal - 0
Gnarls Barkley - 1
 
I love Butthole Surfers. That was a great song from a great album (my favorite by them). Mr. Bungle's song was a bit boring, it never enRAB.

Butthole Surfers - 1
Mr. Bungle - 3
 
I do realise it's not the best rabV song in terms of quality, but it means a lot to me. Loveless is so overrated though, the rabV EPs are where it's at. Same with Slowdive too though I guess.
 
Given that its more or less the same song and Mustaine the writer, I prefer the improved polished up Metallica version of it.

Metallica 1
Megadeth 1
 
Hmmm. Well this is my first time hearing the Superchunk song, and I like it. I like The Thermals and that song, but I think it would be unfair to vote for The Thermals without hearing the Superchunk song an equal nuraber of times. So maybe I'll play it 2-3 more times before I vote.
