cover versions

[MLB]

I've never heard that cover but i'd be amazed if it was better than the Beatles one. One of the most beautiful songs ever in my humble opinion.

 

 

Probabaly not better, but still pretty good. The "I Am Sam" soundtrack is all Beatles covers actually. Most of them are pretty straightforward, but there are a few quality numbers. Here's the tracklist...

 

 

1. Two of Us - Aimee Mann & Michael Penn

2. Blackbird - Sarah McLachlan

3. Across the Universe - Rufus Wainwright

4. I'm Looking Through You - The Wallflowers

5. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away - Eddie Vedder

6. Strawberry Fields - Ben Harper

7. Mother Nature's Son - Sheryl Crow

8. Golden Slumbers - Ben Folds

9. I'm Only Sleeping - The Vines

10. Don't Let Me Down - Stereophonics

11. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Black Crowes

12. Julia - Chocolate Genius

13. We Can Work It Out - Heather Nova

14. Help - Howie Day

15. Nowhere Man - Paul Westerberg

16. Revolution - Grandaddy

17. Let It Be - Nick Cave

 

 

Best songs are 3, 8, 15 and 17. 1, 6 and 16 are also okay.

[DT]

I agree, the album is class.

[Total Longo]

Paul Weller... Close to you by the Carpenters

 

Neither are as good as Alan Partridge's version...

[Mark P]

David Brent - "If you don't know me by now", complete with heart-wrenching video.

[Karl_b]

The Arcade Fire's cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps" is a vast improvement on the original.

[Bob]

didnt read through them all but Bank Robber by audioweb is a much better version that the original. Is the original by the clash or was that a cover also?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Cant remember if nayone posted this but Paul Weller's version of Rose Royce's " Wishing On A Star" quality from the mod father.

 

Crossroads by Cream. turning an old delta blues classic by Robert Johnson into one the best demonstrations of a Blue solo by God himself Eric Clapton pure excellence.

 

And the greatest cover of all " You'll Never Walk Alone" By LFC fans against Chelsea . Brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. Nuff said

[Paul]

"Sunshine Of Your Love" by Spanky Wilson. A sure-fire floor-filler if ever I've played one.

[Aaron Miller]

easy by faith no more

[Skidfingers McGonical]

"Sunshine Of Your Love" by Spanky Wilson. A sure-fire floor-filler if ever I've played one.

 

 

Is that a cover of the one by Cream, and just to help you a few lines from the formentiond

 

 

" Its getting near dark der der der derr der when lights close their tired eyes der der der derr der "

The very same. It's kind of a skanking funk take on it with mental drums and horns and a raw female vocal from Spanky herself.

[JangoSolo]

Mike Flowers Pops - Wonderwall

 

Much better than the whiney Oasis version...

[Stouffer]

You people know fuck all 'bout music. Either Suicide is painless covered by the Manics ot Oasis' Hey Hey My My cover of an old Neil Young track! So there!

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Nice one , be interesting listenng I guess, especially if you know the original

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Anyone ever heard of Richard Cheese does by far the best covers. His version of Slipknots " People equals shit" and G'N'R's " Welcome To The Jungle2 are a must listen

[Stu Monty]

The new Oasis covers album is quite good.

 

Thier versions of Dead end street and Jumping Jack Flash are very interesting. Not sue why they changed the original song titles though?

 

*Hides in case John Gallagher turns up*

[Guest Norman Bates]

Johnny Cash - "One", "Solitary Man", "Personal Jesus", "Rusty Cage", "Hurt", "I Won't Back Down" ... the list goes on forever.

 

For me, a good cover version has to bring something new to a song, even if the original is brilliant. Like White Stripes - "Jolene" (Dolly Parton), The Byrds - "Mr Tambourine Man" (Dylan), Elvis Presley "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" (Dylan), Ray Charles "You Win Again" (Hank Williams), Uncle Tupelo "I Wanna Be Your Dog (Stooges), "Effigy" (Creedence Clearwater Revival) and The Beatles' great cover of "Twist and Shout". Or Flying Burrito Brothers version of "Wild Horses", but as it came out a year before the Rolling Stones version, I'm not sure if it could be counted as a cover.

Black Crowes - Hard to Handle

Jimmy Eat World - Firestarter

Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

 

Thinking about bad cover versions, I have Ian Browns versions of Thriller and Billie Jean, shocking.

[Gav]

I'm listening to weller's Studio 150 at the mo and have to say "Wishing upon a star " is without doubt ,teh BEST cover version I've heard...its absolout class

 

He also does a very good version of the Irish/scotrtish trad classic "Black is the colour "

 

Close to you and All along the watch tower are very good as well

 

 

man ,can't wait till october when his new album is out

[Thants]

Woah!

how many of these threads are there?

 

nevermind, the clash version of police and thieves whilst a nice alternative pales in comparison with the majestic falsetto frolics of junior murvin.

 

there´s my reposte after 6 years!
