Can I rate that a 0? OK, how about 0./10. There was no part of that which was actually good. You must be blinded by nostalgia.

Before anyone gets offended by this one, please realize that Ian Dury was crippled by polio at a young age.

always liked Ian Dury and the Blockheads and their quirky sound
but I'm giving this one
5/10 - less melodic than their other stuff
I think I'd prefer to listen to it as part of a mix of his stuff rather than just by itself as a stand-alone tune

If you want to compare a Smiths song to anything, you compare it to every other song ever written. In that vein, 9.9/10 - only misses the full 10/10 because it's not an actual video.

But this is pretty good, too:

Not really my cup of tea but appreciate the effort... 6/10 for me.

I can't wait for Bieber to enter his Sebastian Bach era. That song was a solid 3/10.

the ship song project
3/10
aside from the original song being just a wee bit too slow and melancholy sounding for my taste, this version is just too distracting as it transitions between the various artists

here's something that I find both a wee bit upbeat and a wee bit melancholy

Not sure if sarcastic... Bieber for sure can't sing. He sucks.

OL is trolling hard as ****. He def has a social experiment or something going on...
 
Cy seems to be having some Bowie-related flashbacks!

Ziggy Starfish - Open Mike Eagle
7.5/10 - - I liked it quite a bit, but I kept waiting for it to break out into some rap version of ziggy stardust

and I liked the Anna Calvi "Desire" a lot - intriguing sound
8/10 from me

here's some background:
Written in the early 1960s by Canadian Buffy Sainte-Marie, Universal Soldier is commonly interpreted as being written in response to the war in Vietnam, it was actually penned before the first US combat troops arrived there. It gained popularity after being released by Scottish folk artist Donovan in 1965. It did well in Britain, where it was first released, reaching number five on the singles charts, though it fared less well in the United States.The version here appears with a photo montage, with credit to Youtube user tolka.

The Universal Soldier is an unusual war-protest song because it blames war not on governments, leaders or corporations, but on the individuals who accept the notion that killing solves problems and one war can end future wars. As implied by the title, Sainte-Marie makes no distinction between the soldiers of different nations, religions or ideologies: they fight for different causes but the same reasons.

Bowie - Blackstar
5.5/10

strangely alluring - interesting transitions in the quirky sound with a video that seemed like animated versions of Robert Mapplethorpe's photographic subjects against a background drawn by M.C. Escher

Here's one:
Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On
