rockstar-101 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I've stumbled upon Wynonna Judd's cover of Freebird...it's...uh...different...definately not as good as the orginal and way more country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Oh they should just leave Freebird alone!!! Only one Freebird, and it should stay that way... :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I feel that way about all music... once it's been done, leave it alone. If your band, group or whatever can't think of a song then find a new line of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Claudine Longet did a bunch of covers, but she did "allegedly" kill her boyfriend, so maybe she shouldn't make the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 The First Cut Is the Deepest-Cat Stevens/Rod Stewart Do you know PP Arnold's version of The First Cut Is the Deepest? I's my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Compare Green Day's not bad cover of Working Class Hero with John Lennon's original ( bazooka-preferred). "Not bad" is fair enough for the Green Day rendition, but it's not long in before you're thinking "Ok, I get the picture". For the definitive version of "Working Class Hero", (i.e. " even better than Lennon's" imo), check this: Marianne Faithful Fantastic jugs, our Marianne, eh?!

SoulGirl Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 ooh ooh any of the johnny cash covers, especially 'hurt' originially by nine inch nails!! so moving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 For the definitive version of "Working Class Hero", (i.e. " even better than Lennon's" imo), check this: Marianne Faithful Fantastic jugs, our Marianne, eh?! It´s an amazing cover. I agree with you, far better than the original. I love the whole album, her new voice, how she came back to life and how she made me like this song I never liked in its original version. I think I´ll nominate "Broken Eglish" for the MoC...
