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: 'Digital Love'

The Contestants: Daft Punk vs. Mobius Band

In This Corner -- Daft Punk: Originally released on the robotic duo's genre-bending 'Discovery' album in 2001, this gem was that record's third single, released in the shadow of the commercial success of 'One More Time.' The track's bouncy beats and automaton vocals exemplify the genre known as filter house. The song is also well know for its rockin' guitar solo and, most notably, its use in the Juliet Lewis Gap commercial.

In This Corner -- Mobius Band: Brookyln's indie rock trio is known for dabbling with electronic elements in its music. On this tribute to Daft Punk, they ditched the samplers for some acoustic guitars to showcase the tune's solid structure. If you can take the beat out of a dance song and it still sounds good, you have a winner.
