Since I've reached 150K again here. Not sure how I lost posts with the new site....I didn't post in unions ever...but here we are...I decided to make a music thread based on doing something already done. And I can't complain about the forums if I don't try to spark some conversation. That said....I've tried.
Anyway the theme is cover songs better than the originals.
My choices:
Pearl Jam -- Love Reign O'er me.....just better than the original by The Who
Nirvana -- Man Who Sold The World....though David Bowie is definitely good.
Jeff Buckley -- Hallelujah....sorry Leonard Cohen this version is vastly superior.
Placebo-- I Feel You.....just a bit over the Depeche Mode original.
Jimi Hendrix. -- All Along The Watchtower....originally Bob Dylan....no contest.
The Beatles. -- Twist & Shout.....Isley Brothers original.
The Animals -- House of the Rising Sun....no clue on the original.
The Clash -- I Fought The Law....Bobby Fuller Four....just more dynamic.
Talking Heads -- Take Me To The River....Al Green original.
The Cure -- World In My Eyes....Depeche Mode who I love I swear.
Anyway those are just a few....what say you?
