Bobthedog Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Perhaps this will not get many votes here, but I think in terms of covers better than the original, this works for me: http://youtu.be/aLnZ1NQm2uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1483032243' post='3204324'] sorry Cato,possibly the worst Ramones track ever [/quote] Fair enough. It's a bit of a departure for them, and I have wondered if Joey was the only actual Ramone on that particular track, but personally I think it's close to the pinnacle of the Phil Spector collaboration,surpassed only by Rock 'n' Roll radio. (Honourable mentions for Danny Says and Rock 'n' Roll high school). Edit. Maybe this Ramones cover is more up your street? http://youtu.be/fGWR3uI3Qa0 Edited December 29, 2016 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[media]http://youtu.be/fGWR3uI3Qa0[/media] [/quote]yeah end of the Century was essential a Joey Ramone Rock and Roll album, I think Johnny and Dee Dee were hardly on it at all, but still a great record apart from Baby I Love You (IMO) which I suspect was put on there to keep Phil Spector happy, but perversely was their biggest UK hit, they did do some great covers though, this is probably my favourite, who'd have thought it the Ramones doing the Doors? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMF8-hKrH8Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMF8-hKrH8Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1483025416' post='3204236'] I like Led Zeppelin's version of Stairway to Heaven by Rolf Harris.

SpondonBassed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1483026711' post='3204253'] This may divide the room, possibly leaving me on my own in a corner, but I really like it. [media]http://youtu.be/jRk5Gjl_cAg[/media] [/quote] You may be right. I liked their treatment of the old Floyd tune. The rest of their music did not engage me quite so much. I did learn from the experience though. Now I know not to go into a lesbian bar asking for the loan of some scissors, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1483035455' post='3204356'] I must be one of the few who doesn't like Cocker's rendition of With a Little Help. There's no doubting that he's a good singist, but I find the slowed down whining version doesn't tick the boxes for me. Which is weird, because I do like his other stuff. [/quote] I must be the second of the few then. Cold blooded murder, it was. I do like Joe's stuff for the most part however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Two more fave covers I forgot earlier... http://youtu.be/lcWVL4B-4pI http://youtu.be/cSo9CC2wKVI Both significantly better than the originals... And it's a bit cheesy but I love this version of this song too. Great bass from Mr Murray... http://youtu.be/ub8rPHBXd20 Edited December 30, 2016 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
