MONDAY MATCHUP :: Achas Sho'alti • MBD/AF

Also requested in the comments, comparing Achas Sho'altis is a definite "Elul Extra" good deed. But Tzlil v'Zemer has more than once given us more than one Achas (irony noted), taking away the fun of all those. Here instead are the MBD version from 1979 (V'chol Maaminim) and the AF version from 1991 (Aderaba) for your opinion on melody and performance and how they hold up to time.

Fried


MBD

My opinion: Fried's version is a filler. I don't think he would or should rerecord or perform it.

MBD's is a killer. I just said that so we can start a new voting metric "Killer of Filler?"

MBD by a landslide

The tune of MBD's is actually one of his father's songs which can be heard here (track 4 of this ablum): http://faujsa.fau.edu/jsa/music_album.php?jsa_num=402429&queryWhere=jsa_num&queryValue=402429&select=werdyger&return=artist_album

Classic MBD. Awesome.

Yes, yes indeed! MBD. And I LOVE that flute "response" to "...beheicholo" at 1:40.

Thanks Shimbo for that link. That should be the real matchup...father vs. son!

What an awesome record. I featured that link once in my Kad Yasvin post.

MBD's is a classic and thus should not score any points for punching Fried's albeit beautiful song out of the park

Weird to hear non-Yossi Green harmonies on a Fried song, but its pre Chazak. who's doing the harmonies?
