Lucky Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Posted June 6, 2009 I really like the album Mad Dogs and Englishmen, but more because of the performances, and the melding of the group, not because of Joe Cocker. Strange, I know.
MindCrime Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Never Gonna Give You Up ~ Kiss (Rick Astley cover)
pinkstones Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 I have to disagree with you edna, I never was a fan of Cockers, and I think he ruined all of the songs he's covered, especially Unchain My Heart. I *love* his version of Unchain My Heart. I guess he's one of those artists that you either really like or really don't like.
chutzpah Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I wasn't really meaning the singers (Joe Cocker or Leon Russell) More about the diversity of the band...And "Teslas" (sp?) version of the "Beatles" I've got a feeling...is pretty good
Viaene Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash this has probably been posted before but I like this version much more then Depeche Mode's original.
Farin Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I like the original more, but it is pretty good
pinkstones Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Nothing is better than Depeche Mode's version. Just because Cash is a great singer doesn't mean any cover he does is automatically good.
Viaene Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 I don't like it just because it's johnny cash' version, I just dig the guitar riff.
pinkstones Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Ray Charles did a very good version of Ring of Fire - gave it the soul treatment. It's the same sentiment but expressed in two different ways. Someone I know likened it to Johnny's version being the fire and Ray's version being the smoldering embers that lead to the fire.
MindCrime Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 ^ Orgy also does a really good cover of Blue Monday.
MindCrime Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 ^ Sympathy for the Devil? GnR's version is good, but no where near as great as the original.
pinkstones Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Guns n' Roses did at most, 3 good songs. Sympathy for the Devil is not one of them. If I want to listen to crappy Stones covers, I'll put on Britney's version of Satisfaction.
Farin Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 do we have a thread for 'worst cover song'? God Save the Queen ~ Nouvelle Vague
MindCrime Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 do we have a thread for 'worst cover song'? How about: Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit My Generation - Hillary Duff Dock Of The Bay - Michael Bolton Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - William Shatner Proud Mary - Leonard Nimoy
pinkstones Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Well, if we're doing crappy covers.... Angels - Jessica Simpson The Beat Goes On and Satisfaction - Britney Spears Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm What I Like About You - Lillix Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters That last one made me want to put my foot up all their asses one by one.
Farin Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters That last one made me want to put my foot up all their asses one by one. I didn't like it too much either, but if I remember correctly Waters and Gilmour did like it
chutzpah Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 I'd be careful with that...by the sound of that song...they'd probably enjoy it
pinkstones Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 I didn't like it too much either, but if I remember correctly Waters and Gilmour did like it Whether they liked it or not is irrelevant to me wanting to put my foot up the Scissor Sisters' asses for destroying that song. They obviously found it listenable, I found it a crime against humanity.
Viaene Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 How about: My Generation - Hillary Duff the thought of her singing that song makes me think this is all a joke
