    I was expecting Judith Charmers - but enough about my sex life.

    Really good - hard to hold attention with a cover from a song thats as well known as that, but you did it - well done. Whats the competition you mention on the soundcloud info by the way.

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Not bad, although my favourite cover of the song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpfK9aqRPPI. Mainly for the audience participation. Good luck.

    pretty good, but the singer sounds a bit like Frank Sidebottom.

    The vocalist (not singer) is as flat as a flatty flat thing.

    Hard pick to cover, sorry only Gilmore and Waters can pull this one off. Its a classic for a reason, still not as bad as scissor sisters version of Comfortably Numb.

    enjoyed the guitar work, but sorry vocals didn't do it for me

    Sparklehorse and Thom Yorke did a great version of Wish You Were Here.
    "In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

    I got bored of it half way through, partly down to the vocal not being anywhere near good enough but mainly cos it's just music by numbers. Everything is just as the original was; at least offer something a bit different to give it a spark of originality.

    Is it just me who expected a critique of this?
