Mykesbass Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 And while we are on melancholia, can an artist's cover of their own song be included? I love the original, and the fact that it sounds bright and jolly despite the lyrics, but this I think is an incredible remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 This deserves a plug for being such a fun cover! I mean bass players do wear shades indoors, don't we?! And the vacant-stare heavy metal hairdo guitarist was just perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Also punk heads probably disapprove of Nouvelle Vague but I do like this one 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Also I think this one has turned up on the forum many times before but not on this particular thread, and it is unquestionably superior to the dreary original 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this version and I like the original but I couldn't pick one over the other as a favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rageofklugman Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Surely it has to be Weedeater's cover of Southern Cross - not many people can harmonise better than Crosby, Stills and Nash: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I just put this album on at random and remembered that it has this cover on it: Which obviously I’m not claiming is better than the original but actually yes, yes I am. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Maybe not better, but it's still ace as has a pretty funky bass line to it...... Ester Phillips - Use me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Been on a mega Scary Pockets binge. Lots of good candidates from these amazing musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risk101 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Anyone remember the techno disco “Show me Love” by Robin S. Well here is a cover by the very talented Charlie Moreno (track is his band “Powafunk”) His bass lines a super creative and quite difficult (for me!!) to replicate!

lowdown Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Obviously not better than the original, but a terrific arrangement with good singing and playing from all involved. The arrangement has some nice twist and turns as the tune progresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Two wonderfully talented musicians performing the same song. The first amazing original penned by a phenomenally talented musician; the second a cover - not better, but also beautiful. RIP both x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Apologies if this cover has been posted on this thread before. But it's soooooo good! Happy Christmas all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
