The Rules for Battle: Each week, we pit versions of the same song by two different artists in a head-to-head death match for musical supremacy. (Sometimes it will be the original recording vs. a cover version; other times it will be two different covers.) Then it's up to you to decide: Listen to and vote on which version you think should emerge victorious and which should be sent packing. May the best band win!

The Song: 'You Know I'm No Good'
The Contestants: Amy Winehouse vs. Arctic Monkeys
In This Corner -- Amy Winehouse: London's new queen of soul has racked up five Grammy Award partly due to the success of 'You Know I'm No Good.' Taking another listen to this song has reminded us that Winehouse isn't famous solely for her Britney-like antics but also because she has a supple voice. Her backing group the Dap-Kings and Winehouse are as good a combination as peanut butter and jelly, and this tune tells us the proof is in the pudding.

In This Corner -- Arctic Monkeys: This Sheffield, England, power-rock quartet might 'Look Good on the Dance Floor,' but they also sound good in the studio. The Monkeys made adapting and nailing this tune seems easy. After going far in making this track their own, the only thing missing is Ghostface Killah.
