Big_Stu Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Excellent thread idea! I didn't even know this version existed until a few weeks ago when Brian Matthew played it on Radio 2. Heavy? Black who???? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3yHVvOsuwQ[/media] Quote

Clarky Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 If we are allowed to post our own stuff (Jake!) here is my old band's sleazy New Orleans style cover of Tom Waits' Yesterday is Here, which i am still fond of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI18ZZ7MCPs Quote
steve-bbb Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1343234928' post='1747542'] That has to be one of the most awful covers. No energy, just the most lazy, cynical cash in ever by a bunch of talentless hacks. The best cover of the song is, frankly, by Joni herself from the [i]Shine [/i]album. [/quote] sorry but that album should be called sh*te not Shine Quote

peteb Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1343230802' post='1747463'] Taking of Hendrix covers, this a great version of what I consider to be a really weak original - Freedom, covered by Steve Lukather [media]http://youtu.be/jOmgg-1B85A[/media] [/quote] Yea, good one...!

I think ! [/quote] Can i join in ? Your both wrong - Orbinson recorded it first [written for him supposedly] but it was released a couple of years [b]after[/b] Cyndi's released version. Not sure who wrote it. Garry Edited July 25, 2012 by lowdown Quote
51m0n Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1343237257' post='1747596'] There's a whole Little Roy album, 'Battle for Seattle'. [/quote] There is, and its pretty darn fab IMO, never liked Nirvana much, but really like the Little Roy covers.... Quote
Chris2112 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1343251371' post='1747943'] sorry but that album should be called sh*te not Shine [/quote] It has a couple of duff, slow tracks but balances that with awesome tracks like [i]Night of the Iguana[/i] and [i]Hana[/i].

paul torch Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Type O Negative did and awesome doom-metal cover of Magical Mystery Tour live but I can't seem to find a decent recording of it. Quote
joeystrange Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Apparently Dylan took a lot from the Hendrix version of the song and started playing it live more like that. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_L4RtU1iRg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_L4RtU1iRg[/url] I've always liked this one too...

joeystrange Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 And whilst we're on Nirvava this song is just incredible [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXYz0gtJeM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXYz0gtJeM[/url] Quote
bartelby Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) I love this version: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B_NwRr9-5c[/media] They also do a fantastic version of Jesus Gonna Be Here This is also a favourite: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dunKAwRN3P8[/media] Edited July 26, 2012 by bartelby Quote

[/quote] Wouldnt want to split hairs, nor argue with wikipedia... which is always right But I clearly remember hearing Cyndi Lauper being interviewed on the radio, on a Saturday afternoon when the single was current. and stating how much she dug the Roy Orbison track, and reasons why she covered it etc etc Orbison was a little bit out of fashion at the time I think..

Gues we'll never know who did what first. Couldve been in the can for yonks, put out on a sampler in the U.S, released on the back of the Willburys success, who knows. Quote
