Cover Wars: Cortez The Killer

OK, we admit we don't really go for music competitions because that's not what it's all about.

But we make exceptions because there truly are a lot of great covers of Neil Young's "Cortez The Killer" out there.

Over on Hidden Track, they're doing a "Cortez The Killer, Who Did It Best?" poll. Nominees include:

Built To Spill
Dave Matthews Band
Gov't Mule
Grace Potter
Matthew Sweet
Widespread Panic

Go listen and vote on Hidden Track.

You'll be surprised who's way out in front of the pack.

Thanks Scott B.!
