Have seen some weird shit on these polls - like Shadow of your love over SCOM (Just defies reasonable logic) but for Don't Cry to place so high on ONE and about to be bounced so early on TWO by the same people voting is a little hard to stomach

I'll agree about "Sweet Child o Mine" -- can't believe that got voted off so fast.

However, I disagree about "Don't Cry".  To me, the lyrics of the Alternate version are far inferior, making it a much different song.  I love the original "Don't Cry", and detest the alternate version.  Hence my vote, and many other voters by the looks of it.

The alternate lyrics are very awkward and it doesn't really deserve consideration on musical merits because it's no different musically. Frankly, I think it would be unfair to the other songs to rate it higher because of instrumentation it inherited. Just like Live and Let Die went out early because it's a cover. KOHD will do better because it's sufficiently original in arrangement.
