Space Cowboy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 well, that's a strong opinion, but i have always like pearl jam, but i'm getting a little sick of their political stuff, and i really didn't care for eddie vedder's storytellers scene where he changes the meaning of betterman to being about bush instead of his stepfather
Levis Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Has this been mentioned? I Am The Walrus - Oasis Sacrilege? I do not care
The Seeker Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I don't think it's better than the original, but it gets a all the same because it;s very good
edna Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 "You Were on my Mind" - Barry McGuire The original was by We Five, I believe?
Lucky Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Posted October 10, 2008 Here's an interesting clip somebody put together. It's a comparison of "Please Read the Letter". Written by and performed on the album "Walking Into Clarksdale" ~ Page & Plant. Plant & Krauss covered it on their album and the result is interesting .... better? I dunno, but definately different, and I like it. Please Read the Letter
edna Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 The MOtels made an excellent version of "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)"

I¨m listening to this song now but it´s slow... (I mean, the internet...)
Lucky Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Posted October 12, 2008 It's hard to comment on each one huh? That's why I don't try! It's enough to give us a chance to listen. No problem, luverly edna!!
bazooka Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Harlem Shuffle -- Vigon Absolutely terrific cover of Bob and Earl's classic. Haven't found much about French soul singer Vigon. Maybe edna or another European Songfactor can educate me. Looks like this is his signature number.
Batman Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 IMO Stevie Wonder's version of We Can Work It Out is hte only Beatles cover I've heard that's definitely better than the original. Earth Wind and Fire's Got To Get You Into My Life might be better too.
bazooka Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Heart Full Of Soul -- Chris Isaak "may be better" is in the ear of the beholder, but damned good in any case.
edna Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 "Born To Cry" - Johnny Thunders Not better but a very good cover. Dion´s original is one of my fave songs anyways...
MindCrime Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Conquest - White Stripes Edited October 25, 2008 by Guest Thanks for pointing that out lol
Farin Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 ^ the [ /url] tag is missing and to the song
Viaene Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 it is Best and worst covers I agree with #1
MindCrime Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I've seen that list before, and I agree with both the Best and Worst Tens. There's a lot of covers I can think of that are missing from the main list though.
mpdsmom Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 Most definitely "Signs" by Tesla, IMHO......
Farin Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 Stairway to Heaven ~ Rodrigo y Gabriela ...straight from Dublin
bazooka Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Most peculiar. Eight Days A Week -- Procul Harum
LeeBB Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Well, is it possible that nobody has mentioned the Beatles' version of Twist And Shout?? I'm a proud Australian, so how about: The Zoot's Eleanor Rigby from 1970 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_3IUASoqfM Incredible!! That's Rick Springfield on the killer guitar, and Beeb Birtles from LRB is in there too. YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS!! See ya, LeeBBB
Tenacious_Peaches Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 I have never seen that before, Lee. Good stuff. P.S. I love me some Rick Springfield.
LeeBB Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 Here's one that well worth the finding: Harry Nilsson's version of She's Leaving Home from his wonderful debut album. He recorded it only days after first hearing the riginal. The Beatles soon after described Harry as their favourite US act. Coincidence? LBB
