Viaene Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) I've seen CCR's Commotion being done by Triggerfinger and it sounded so friggin badass! It was live, so no youtube Edited August 6, 2008 by Guest

Viaene Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 I've seen CCR's Commotion being done by Triggerfinger and it sounded so friggin badass! It was live, so no youtube I found it! For those who want to hear some badass rock: Commotion (part1) Commotion (part2)
The Seeker Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 I much prefer John Lennon's cover of Stand By Me.
Farin Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Teardrop ~ José González not better than Massive Attack, but very good
bluesboy Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 This one has more modern arrangements being 45 years since the original. Evening - Pat Benatar (1991) Evening - T-Bone Walker (1945)
Bucksfan_Margo Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 put a little love in your heart Jackie DeShannon's or Annie Lennox and Al Green's?
BrandMan211 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Little Bitch - Big D and the Kids Table. They played in my area so I checked them out, and they made a much more upbeat version of it, and surprisingly they succeeded.
edna Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I much prefer John Lennon's cover of Stand By Me. Of course... he made an amazing song out of a very good song...
_Laurie_ Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I Heard It Through The Grapevine is such a great song...I love all three of these versions...Gladys and the Pips give it that "funky" beat...Marvin sings it with so much "soul"...and CCR's version "rocks"..... Gladys Knight and the Pips Marvin Gaye CCR
Farin Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I Heard It Through The Grapevine is such a great song...I love all three of these versions...Gladys and the Pips give it that "funky" beat...Marvin sings it with so much "soul"...and CCR's version "rocks"..... Gladys Knight and the Pips Marvin Gaye CCR and here's Kaiser Chiefs and for edna: Amy Winehouse & Paul Weller
Otokichi Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Hall & Oates performed the laid back original, but Kalapana Rocked it across the Pacific:
Farin Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Hall & Oates performed the laid back original, but Kalapana Rocked it across the Pacific: at first I thought you were talking about the BAND "Laid Back"
Earth-Angel Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 NOT "here come the girls" by the Sugababes! Their harmonies are off the charts bad!
Space Cowboy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 pearl jam-last kiss (i found the original by J. Frank Wilson in a stack of 45's i have and pretty cool as well) nirvana-lake of fire; meat puppets original pearl jam-wish you were here; not better than Floyd but great don mcclean-crying; otis redding original cake-guitar man; bread original
bazooka Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 don mcclean-crying; otis redding original I think you meant Roy Orbison original. Incidentally, it is impossible that Don Mclean could do something "better" than either one of them.
Udo Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I like Pearl Jam, but "Last Kiss" sucks.
Levis Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Band On The Run - Foo Fighters I never liked the Wings version... I didn't expect to like this either, but I do
MindCrime Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I like the Foo Fighters version of "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. It's not quite as good as the original, but it's still a pretty good track. Edited September 25, 2008 by Guest
Space Cowboy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 yea, orbison is right, you're not a fan of mcclean, the cover, or both? i'm not really a huge fan of him, but i do like a few
