Under The Covers or On Top?..

[Mykesbass]

I know we've had the 'any cover of Dylan is better than the original' which I don't agree with, but I do find there are more covers of Beatles songs I like in preference to the originals. This is a favourite:

Best make a quick exit now...

I don't think it's a matter of standard... It's very well done, but in an awful, insincere, souless, dry way. (To my ears, obviously). .

My point has been made lol. Ill say no more.

Amen, brother

Ben Harper's Original is way better, IMO.

And I'm not going to bother with what he did to Randy Newman..

Oh, alright, go on then...

I'm a fan big the Beatles, but I always loved that version.

Didn't even have to listen to that to know it was "Dear Prudence", but I don't much rate the Beatles... Ooh, hold on...

Double post..

Er... Not better. Very different!

Whilst we're experiencing a bit of Nirvana...

 

 

 

And the Meaty ol' original...

 

[SH73]

This is better

 

Than this

Much as I like a bit of Maiden...

Why did they cover one of the worst songs on the album?

And thank God they didn't do Aqualung!

Have to disagree with you on that one. The Maiden version is good, but just too straightforward.  It doesn't have the leery, grubby,  slightly unpleasant,  feel of the original.

Midtown-Cruising...

 

 

... just reached the Motorway!!

[steantval]

Better than the Lennon original.

 

[Maude]

This is not better but I like it equally as much because it's a different take on a great song.

Sabbath and Cake with War Pigs.

As a teenager one of my favourite albums was a compilation titled 'We do em our way'. Punk bands covering classic pop songs and the Sex Pistols offerings were about the weakest in my opinion. I was trying to choose one to add here but I can't decide my favourite so I'll leave The Slits version of Heard It Through The Grapevine here and suggest you look up the album on the site if your choice. 

I lent the album to a work colleague sometime in the 90s and never saw it again, along with an Anti-Nowhere League album. Git!

Anyone that brings a slice o' Cake into the “mix" is a good friend of mine!!

Seriously though, massive fan of Cake and hadn't yet heard this!

 

Thank‘a'ya'please!!

 

Here's something to mull over in the meantime...

The admiration goes to Amanda's diligence and dedication toward the song and it's contextual energy!! 

Gotta love what music means and brings forth from each and every individual..

Wow, fair play to you. Thought that would have been on most people's (including mine) worst ever lists.

I thought it was just me.... I was desperately searching for a single way in which it's not hugely inferior to the original. 

And this is why music is so subjective, I have loved the original ever since it came out, and that Disturbed version is just so damn powerful, its brilliant!......IMHO ofc
