TimR Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One of the funniest things I heard - "Soundgarden have released a great version of Black Hole Sun. It's so much better than the original Steve and Eydie version." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 41 minutes ago, tauzero said: Alexandra Burke's awful, awful version of "Hallelujah" which completely ripped the soul out of it. Simon Cowell is partly to blame for this utter travesty. The irony of the line "but you don't care much for music...' in this version!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 While driving around the Welsh countryside this summer, I shoved an “80’s” playlist on Spotify. The teenagers were listening to their own songs on headphones (depressing really, but I enjoyed the peace)… ABC - High and Dry. Yes, the Radiohead Song. oh wow.

tauzero Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 It gets a bit complicated with "All the young dudes" because David Bowie wrote it, Mott the Hoople had a hit with it, Bruce Dickinson got into the top 30 with his cover which was very close to the original, and Bowie recorded it after Mott did but his version is inferior (not vastly though) to the other two.

A rare case of where he Dylan original is 100 x better than a specific cover. + 1 for Judas Priest's risible Johnny B Goode and I'll add their execrable 'Green Manalishi' + 1 for Metallica's Whisky in the jar No mention yet of Jagger and Bowie's atrocious Dancing in the Street nor of the woeful Aerosmith take on Come Together. Then again Aerosmith have been terminally shyt3 so perhaps they didn't know any better.

They also did a good version of “land of confusion” - proper band, saw them in around 2001 in Manchester, supported Marilyn Manson 🤓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
