I still say Foghat is making a comeback.

I quit the Eagles when they charged their loyal fans $300 per lawn seat ticket to see them. Since then, just about all the great bands have sold out though...

It's a radio commercial played in the Chicagoland area - I don't if it's local and I can't remember who the commercial is for, but I love the song.
I think it's a take on an older tune, but it grabbed my attention yesterday.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I've always thought about cover songs, and I've generally liked the original better than the cover. But with Led Zeppelin I must admit that all their blues songs that were covered are much better (subjectively, of course) than their predecessors. To name a few:
Gallow's Pole (originally by Leadbelly)
In My Time of Dying (originally Dylan)
Whole Lotta Love (originally by...someone...Howlin Wolf?)
You Shook Me (originally Muddy Waters)
Traveling Riverside Blues (originally by Robert Johnson)
I like Eric Clapton's version of After Midnight better than the original JJ Cale version.
Ooh, here's a good one, Orgy's Blue Monday is better than the 80's synth-pop original.
They also did a bang-up job on Sonny Boy Williamson's "Bring it on Home". I still won't go so far as to say that Zeppelin did it better, though.

The beginning of Stairway to Heaven - and that's it.

Lennon-McCartney, no contest.
The Beatles didn't make it based on musical ability like other bands, but their songwriting was incredible.

My mom's collection was almost entirely Motown. She was born and grew up in Gary, Indiana (and saw the Jackson 5 at a bar near her house when she was in high school).
My dad's collection was mostly Stones and a mixed selection of other classic rock.

The 1990's finish last automatically because of that "Doing it on the Discovery Channel" song. It singlehandedly dragged the entire decade to the bottom.
-
I actually like Tom Petty's music. His voice can sound like that silly voice Roger Waters does at times though.
I can't deny that Dylan, Petty, or Young's voices have served them well. I'd definitely argue that they survived on character and novelty value than singing talent, though.
Wow, could you imagine a Dylan, Petty, and Young Christmas Album?
-
Alright. They buy Tom Petty's stuff too. He and Dylan should harmonize and go for "World's most irritating noise" vs. alarm clocks and car alarms.
Throw Neil Young in there as a trio.
-
He's loads of fun to imitate...especially after a few drinks.
The trick is to smoke a half pound of hashish, spin around in a circle until you collapse to the floor, hold your nose and sing "Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement thinking about the government".
Dylan's own mother couldn't tell you two apart.
-
That comparison is right on. Uh, wait a minute. No. No, it's not. Sorry. You'll have to do better.

And yet several million people all over the world have bought his records/tapes/CD's/DVD's, etc. No, that doesn't make his singing good. But, it sure as hell makes it his "business".
They buy Brittney Spears' stuff too. There's no accounting for taste I guess.
-
My opinion, but I think everybody does Dylan better than Dylan. All Along the Watchtower, Mr. Tambourine Man, Highway 69 Revisited, etc.
Dylan has no business singing, IMO.

Isn't that the name of a Beastie Boys song?
I really like Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends". It's such a great song when The Beatles do it, but it really gives the song much more meaning with Joe Cocker's style.
Yep, the Beasties borrowed some Zeppelin in that one.
I love that remake, but it's so different that I can't say it's better - just different. Same with "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".
-
And nobody had better say that Manfred Mann's version of Blinded By The Light is better than Bruce Springsteen's.
I knew Springsteen wrote it, but I've never heard his version.

"We need to prove that she can really sing live and give her a new image. Something people will talk about."
"Let's put her in black makeup and leather. She'll be the anti-Jessica. All those Janine Garofolo fans will flock to her."
Why doesn't she just release a porno tape of herself to extend her 15 minutes? It's been working for Paris Hilton.
-
I'm of the opinion that the original is ALWAYS better than the remake, with a very few exceptions.
Being a huge Zeppelin fan, I still don't acknowledge that their many blues remakes and samplings are better than the originals.
I know of only 2 songs where the remake tops the original:
1. Run DMC's version of "Walk This Way" - although it couldn't have been done without Aerosmith's help.
2. Mr. Big's version of "Wild World" tops Cat Steven's.
Any opinions on this matter?

1. Originally the "Golliwogs".
2. Played at Woodstock.
3. Though viewed as a "southern rock" band, they originated in suburban San Francisco.
4. Derived their band name from an old friend's name and a beer advertisement.
