Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

This is another ’60s song that is fodder for many a punk band.
Obviously the Sex Pistols deliver the attitude and angst required. Sid’s vocals were tailormade for this song. Now what …
Gomez & Arianna Gillis deliver a fairly faithful yet masterful cover. Never heard of Arianna Gillis before but she too has the right attitude. I don’t think that I would want to mess with this woman.
Francine delivers a cool, relentless, driving cover. Their guitarwork is superior to the other contestants. And I always appreciate a standup bass. Wonder what the derivation of their name was (although, not interested enough to delve into it).
I went with with Gomez & Arianna Gillis in a close one. The instrumentation was excellent and I loved each of the multiple vocalists.
