Who was better at singing, Spock or Captain Kirk?

Yes, that age old after-dinner discussion dragged up once again, but this time we have both on mp3 for a back to back comparison to once and for all say who was the best singer on the Enterprise and who had the vocal chords that went where no other chord had gone before

Dunno why, but as soon as I saw this topic, I remembered Dr Demento and "Star Trekking, Across the Universe..."

By the way, it seems to be a Star Trek tradition to put out horrible vanity records. Even the next generation cast did it. Brent Spiner (Data) put out a record 'Old Yellow Eyes is Back', and he had the whole cast as backup on a few tracks.
