Song covers

I like Rod Stewart's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" better than the original version, played by CCR.

I just love it when rock bands do cover of plain stupid songs, like the Arctic Monkeys did of the Girls Aloud's "Love Machine"[^]. The lyrics are a total bollocks but I guess that's the reason they picked this tune. I had a few others that I liked but can't remember them right now.

Cheers, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

5, although frankly a cat being spayed without anaesthetic would be better than Bob's.

Sixpence None The Richer cover of the U2 song Love Is Blindness. Can't find it on youtube. Drat!

I think I'm going to call my next project "Chuck Norris". It's a sure way to guarantee it's unbreakable.

Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". A good NIN song, but much better with Johnny's old voice. And Marylin Manson's "Sweet dreams". Such a boring song in the original. Although I'm not really fond of MM, I think his version's better.

All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

For me, during my free time, I listen to Big 92.7 FM right from my Nokia 6030. :)

I was just going to post that as well. Manson does very very good remixes. These also turned out really well: Another Brick In The Wall Tainted Love Personal Jesus

Speaking of Bob, what do you think of his latest release? I heard the first track from it on the radio, and I was shocked and dismayed by how he sounded.

Really? He has been sounding like that for about 10 years now. If anything he sounds slightly better than he does some of the songs in his last album. But having said that, the album itself wasn't as interesting as his last one (Love and Theft).

Guns 'n Roses version of 'Live and Let Die' ,possibly the only Beatles track to be covered better than the original. Guns 'n Roses versions of Bob's 'Knockin on Heaven's Door', poor old Bob just keeps getting covered :) Dan Reed's cover of 'Rainbow Child' by Grateful Dead I think. Enya's version of 'How can I keep from singing' I have no idea if there's a recorded original or who by just that it wasn't hers originally. That lot should be enough to drive anyone wild :laugh:

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

From the reviews I read, it dseems he just doesn't want to play the songs you know the way you know.

Yeah, I never understood how good of a songwriter Trent was until I heard Johnny Cash sing Hurt.

I like the Social Distortion cover of "Ring of Fire", it's not better just different. I still love the Johnny Cash version. There are a few SxDx covers of Rolling Stones songs like "Under my thumb" and "Backstreet Girl" that I like better. The poster children cover of "Divide and Conquer" by Husker Du is better then the original

Don't like "Tainted Love" and "Personal Jesus", although they are fare better than the originals.

I liked NIN before. The new thing's crap, but I liked the old stuff in my salad days.

Lazlo Bane just released an album of nothing but covers. I haven't heard all of them yet though. One of my favorites is Tom Jones and the lead singer of the Cardigans remake of "Burning Down the House"

Dino Jr's Show Me The Way is also fantastic. i like Gillian Welch's version of Radiohead's Black Star better Cowboy Junkies' Sweet Jane and I'm So Lonesome I Could Die also Cowboy Junkies' version of Dino Jr's Post Bauhaus' Telegram Sam Talking Heads' Take Me To The River (my vote for best cover, ever) Pixies' Head On Guns n Roses' Mama Kin Superchunk's It's So Hard To Fall In Love (written by Lou Barlow, also of Dino Jr) John Coltrane's My Favorite Things - though, saying something's a "cover" in jazz is silly - it's all covers.
