I like I Love Rock N Roll as well, the fact that American Pie is lower down the list is a joke. It's a shame because it makes the Best list look less credible imo.

Sorry but the Madonna American Pie cover was a steaming pile of **** compared to the Don McLean version.

the fact that Buckley's Hallelujah isn't in the top 5 is a ****ing insult, I think we ALL CAN agree to that?

That is a truly amazing song and he did it justice.
The Alexandra Burke version actually makes me want to punch someone.
And don't even get me started on Leona's cover of Run. She completely killed that song.
