"Eleanor Rigby" vs. "Eleanor Rigby"

Questions for blog:
1. Which of these do you like better? Why?
2. Which of these is more pleasing to listen to? Why?

Version one=cover
Version two=original

Answers:
1. I definitely liked the second version better than the first version of Eleanor Rigby. For one thing, that is the version I'm used to hearing. Also, the first version sounded like people screaming, not like singing.  That sound turns me away from wanting to listen to the song
2. The second version of the song was more pleasing because it was much more soothing.  The first version sounded harsh, and it produced a painful sound.  The artist screamed, and that generally doesn't please a person's ears.  The Beatles are the original creators of the song, and the other people took the original sound and warped it.  The other band isn't a "master" of its craft.
