Same Song Title, Different Band/Artist: "One”

This week’s song is “One,” which I’ve found to be a heavy hitter in three different decades.

Metallica - 1988, off of the “And Justice For All” record
U2 - 1992, off of the “Achtung Baby” record
Three Dog Night - 1969, written by Harry Nilsson

Feel free to go off of the board and suggest a song that is not one of these three.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Easy for me, although I did love the CC one...breaks my brain a bit to listen, though!

    Easy pick, but I really like the Three Dog Night song too. Filter did a decent remake of their song a few years back that I liked.

    Also, you could always add this one :wink:

    I love CC’s rendition too.  Keep in mind this poll is about which version do you like best.  I believe Chris is singing U2’s version.

    Maybe you should actually listen to Chris' version.

    Chris's mashup  of the two is very cool

    It's a mashup.  Lyrics from Metallica's sung the tune of U2's.

    Fair enough.  I stand corrected.

    That is why it hurts my brain a bit...I hear U2 and expect their lyrics and....wtf?  Metallica?
    It is whacked.  (And, awesome)

    I love it.  He does explain it before he goes into the song.  I should have listened more carefully.

    glad you took my suggestion for "one" as the next poll. Could have added a few others like Gravity Kills or Filter.

    few others which technically aren't  "one" but could have maybe added them

    Yeah that suggestion really stuck in my head.  It was a good call on your part.

    U2
    Admittedly, I'm not a huge Metallica fan but both their version and U2's are all-time rock classics. U2's is one of their best tunes - even though the hardcore fanbase has gotten a bit sick of it. Like many PJ songs, U2's "One" is kicked up a notch when they add tags like "Can You Hear Us Coming?" Glad you didn't include the Mary J. Blige duet, however. That's terrible.

    I'm pretty sure I would be kicked out of the Ten Club had I included this as a poll option.
