MuddBass Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) Hi All, I am collating a list of pop songs the have had contrasting versions recorded by the same artist (e.g. same band or artist, recording the same song but with a different genre / approach). An example is below - My Guy, Mary Wells, Motown + Funk versions. I'd appreciate any other suitable examples - thanks!

neepheid Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Might be stretching the definition of "pop" here but Nirvana, "Polly" off Nevermind and "(New Wave) Polly" off Insesticide? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Queen, "We Will Rock You", and Queen, "We Will Rock You" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I think I've missed the word "cover" here. These are original songs, then done in a different way by the same artist. Sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Clutch - The Regulator. Here's the regular version.... And this is the acoustic version. Although I reckon 'the blusier version' is probably a better name for it..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Grateful Dead..? It's hard to find any two renditions of any of their songs, original or covers, that are even similar, let alone the same. That's one of their charms; 'never the same twice'. Here's just an example amongst many : Dark Star... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPHDS Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 The one (or would that be two.....!?!) that come to mind for me (albeit one is a '.......and........') are.... And...... I prefer the 'Fast' Version......my old guitarist, the 'Slow'......so we were going to do a mash up of both.......until the drummer threw a tantrum and quit over not being able to go to the beach......but that is another story.....! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Joni - Both Sides Now Recorded twice for two different albums around 30 years apart. Both versions taking on very different meanings. Just beautiful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
