I like her cover of You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. Not better than the original, but it's good.
If there's a "worst" thread, I have some David Bowie to nominate (Let's Spend the Night Together, Across the Universe, I Can't Explain)For the "worst" cover thread, I'd start off with Coal Chamber (featuring Ozzy) performing "Shock The Monkey".Yessir, nothing says "world music" like alternative metal.
Reminds me of another great one:
this
that is a good tune. there were several covers from van morrison that, after contemplation, liked the vm version better.
I love SRV, but oh my Lord no. No one beats the master at his own game. He wrote the song for Jeff Beck (who did an ok "fusion" version later on). Too many try to replace ivories/horns with guitars and fail. Plus, NO ONE was gonna beat Stevie's vocal and drums on this. This was an artist at the absolute pinnacle of his art when Stevie recorded it. As great as SRV was, he was playing from too far behind.
Much respect for Stevie Wonder...but its my favorite SRV tune. Sorry, the cover is my preference here.
No. Fogerty wrote and played his as a man who was both eligible and drafted. I like Snider and respect him for doing something else with the song, but every bit of fury that JF wrote into that song is gone (sorta like Clapton did to his own damned song).
It's all good. As with all art, it's in the eye of the beholder.
True. There are a few in here I've raised an eyebrow over (G&R's Live and Let Die over McCartney?
)
When did they play Lay Lady Lay? Can't believe I'm stumped here!A few others I'd add, could make either list
ock of the BayI've Got a Feeling####in UpThrow Your Arms Around MeYou've Got To Hide Your Love AwayCrown Of ThornsHell we probably could list just about every one of them....
I never realized how bad his covers were since his own stuff can be pretty good. And that dancing in the streets thing with Jagger makes Van Halen's take look awesome by comparision.If there's a "worst" thread, I have some David Bowie to nominate (Let's Spend the Night Together, Across the Universe, I Can't Explain)For the "worst" cover thread, I'd start off with Coal Chamber (featuring Ozzy) performing "Shock The Monkey".Yessir, nothing says "world music" like alternative metal.
No way. No one can ever come close to Skynyrd on that tune - or really any of their tunes.
Not sure when they did lay lady lay, but it was on an early bootleg I had in the 90s. My youtube is blocked at work, but check there.ETA: It was Vedder singing with Ministry on that track. I'll see if I can track it down when I get home and upload it somewhere
I shouldn't have listed SOTDOTB.I'll stand by Tiger Fan all day long regarding MoW.
Masters of War is Bob Dylan alone with a guitar. That is uniquely his venom. That's one of his songs that nobody will ever, ever better. Never. It's not a matter of opinion. It's fact. You can jam it out loud for 35 minutes, growl over it, understate it, put a mellotron on it, play it backwards, tag the end with Corduroy, whatever. Dylan's version will never be approached. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away? I've Got a Feeling?
"Cover songs that are better than the original" sounds like an opinion to me.
I think you are a little hung up on my list. I didn't seperate them out like TF did (see: "And there are some that would be considerd blasphemy to mention, but they are some amazing covers"). Most of what I listed is part of that group."Cover songs that are better than the original" sounds like an opinion to me.
Plus it's Dylan. Nobody can question his skills or songwriting...but I guess his voice is more of an acquired taste (putting in kindly)
