what's the problem??wheels wrote:jesus christackbar wrote:definitely disagree with the yesterday & wonderwall covers being better than the originals. strongly about those wonderwall covers.. but the first one at least i think is a joke right?
you think that song mud posted is better than oasis's wonderwall?
i'm a sucker for soul covers of late 60's/early 70's rock. i'm usually into any of that shit.
i made a mix of them for my blog. i've posted a bunch of them here before but whatever:

I also like the Nirvana version over David Bowies.
and I always liked this version of Strawberry Fields, but it's not even close to John Lennon's eery original. It's just intersting as fuck.

And the Nirvana of The Man Who Sold the World sounds more like Kurt trying to imitate Bowie vs doin it your own damn way.
Favorite version of Diamonds and Rust might be SOD's.

When I saw this I was all set to the shit out of you but then I actually listened to cat powers version of the song. That shit is fucking dope. I wouldn't get mad at anyone who felt it was better. I'm still partial to the original but I can totally see why people would feel otherwise.starks wrote:probably going to get people mad but

damn! this is funky stuff! I gotta add this to my collection! This is much better than the original, but then again, the original music matched the theme, so this is kind of cheating...Ego wrote:gabor szabo and lena horne's rocky racoon
