casapete Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This version of 'The only way is up', which is currently featured on ads for the Co Op. Interesting take on the Yazz version, which I believe was a cover itself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good arrangement though: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally 90's "punk" was just noisy pop music. Has there ever been a debate about what is or isn't punk or whether punk is dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never! 😁 But 90s "punk" was most certainly not. Though there was a thriving hardcore scene, and bands like the Subs were still playing then... In fact, I remember seeing a Jello-less DKs, and The Damned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 4 hours ago, Al Krow said: Nice cover! Well, that is a terribly polite version. More pop goes easy listening. Technially well done I suppose but a bit lifeless compared to either the original or the more well known Nattybruge version! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I could post a thread worth of Elvis songs which are better than the original. TBF I could probably post as many which are not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I really like the energy in Frankies version of The Boss' Born To Run. Some nice bass playing as well. And for those that said they couldn't play live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 That Stingray got a thrashing in that. Agree though, much better band than many gave credit for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
