Re: Your best cover songs
[QUOTE=carelesschucca;2616773]Satisfaction (I can't get me no) - Devo.
I just love that tune it's wrong but so right. its so different from the Rolling Stones version. Dunno if there's a you-tube video of it out there can't check at work. =QUOTE] I thought I was the only person who knew that version, so much so that I even wondered if I imagined it! Now you've reminded me again and I've looked it up on YouTube and it is STILL one of the very best covers ever! I feel young again -

Re: Your best cover songs
This is always one that I love to listen to...I love his voice yes, but this song is just a beautiful, beautiful piece of music IMO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6am8V5KNJ4A Then there is this. Eva did so many covers and so many are much better known than this, but it's the one I always sing to myself when I think of her... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOkIadp3cno Not everyones taste, but hey ho

Re: Your best cover songs
i would class Eva Cassidy as one of the greatest female singers of all time. she was pitch perfect.

Re: Your best cover songs
Johnny Cash - Hurt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho I prefer his version to the Nine Inch Nails original or even Kermit's version (which is still very good). For me its the performance unlike some 'singers' who are really just glorified Karaokeists, he is singing the song and meaning every word. Listening to this got me listing to some of Cash's other work and Live at Folsom Prison is a must listen to album. |

Re: Your best cover songs
Bill, I have decided to question your parentage. This thread has got me going all over the place listening to covers. Hearing Lemmy kill "jumping jack flash" was bad.
