westlondonmist Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Some more cracking covers He did write the below but it's still the second version, and it is quite different Quote

I’m with you on this - it gets slated quite frequently, but I think it’s an excellent cover. Quote
Merzbow Posted March 15 Posted March 15 If we're doing The Man Who Sold The World discourse... Kojima was right in choosing this version. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 15 Paid Members Posted March 15 Was going to hold off on posting any Dylan covers, because let's face it: it's like shooting fish in a barrel. But Manfred Mann's cover of You Angel, You is pretty great: There are many brilliant covers of Trusty Chords, Dave Hause's in particular, but I have to say this is one of my favourites, by Koehler: Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 15 Paid Members Posted March 15 3 pages in, WTF? I prefer this to the original as well I love the original but this version holds a special place in my heart. This is a great summer bop, but it’s the best version. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 16 Paid Members Posted March 16 Much prefer Iggy's version of China Girl. Too sanitised on Let's Dance. Iggy sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown, which is appropriate given the context of the song. Quote

Faith No More have some fantastic covers and in most cases, I prefer their version - War Pigs, I started a joke, This guy's in love with you. I always loved seeing their live covers too. Last few times I saw them live, we got belting covers of Delilah by Tom Jones and Pokerface by Lady Gaga. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 16 Moderators Posted March 16 Nativity in Black has some brilliant cover versions on it. I think the 1000 homo djs (trent reznor & ministry) version of Supernaut is better than the original.. the industrial grittiness just suits the song so well. Quote

This is a hell of a cover. Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 16 Moderators Posted March 16 Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Seals & Croft, but surely there can't be anyone who disagrees with the Isley's being the definitive version of summer breeze? Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted March 16 Paid Members Posted March 16 Devo have some fantastic covers, all of which I’d put above the originals. Also They Might Be Giants’ version of Istanbul is class but I think everyone knows this. Quote
