Re: Round 1: "Jolene" vs "Mad World"
If you're not familiar with the original, it's worth hearing because it's great in its own right. But also you can hear how radically Gary Jules changed the tune for his cover, emphasizing the alienation and paranoia of the song.

Whatever^^^
f you're not familiar with the original, it's worth hearing because it's listenable as far as country whatever goes. But also you can hear how radically Jack White changed the tune for The White Stripes cover, emphasizing his awesomeness and that Jolene truly is a horrible person. Also, Meg and Dolly have something(s) in common.

Re: Round 1: "Jolene" vs "Mad World"
Tough call, but I just like the song "Jolene" a lot, and think the White Stripes did it justice.
I am also going re-post this from the Music Talk thread so that Zeus doesn't think I'm a poser.
