Great Covers

[Thaidup]

I know the Kravits version well, but the original is bad ass.

Bruce does a pretty good rendition, but I think I still prefer the Aussie band singing the original.

Volume warning for headphones, and then listen 2 times to Bruce, sounds awesome.

The best part of this thread is that members are introducing us all to new Music, I could envisage a get together of us all playing an album one at a time and a bunch of guys dancing to their Music while the others indulge in a Dr Leo.

In which case I’d be firmly entrenched in the Dr. Leo indulgence faction.

One of Gregg Allman's best songs IMO .  Frank Zappa covering the song amazed me first time I heard

Are you kidding? The first time hearing both one after the other,for me. The Original Zapper is hypnotic

[Thaidup]

As a teen I liked Bowie, Then as an adult I liked Nirvana, go figure. Both are great versions

 

[Thaidup]

Close your eyes and put on the headphones. Both are fantastic listening.

 

[Thaidup]

Party time? Again, both versions are fun and different. I like the cover more.

I’ll raise you on that one. The Sundays’ cover version best for mine.

I will take that bet and raise you one youtube video of an unknown band.

Did Jimmy Barnes do Wild Horses back in the 1980's

[Thaidup]

Speaking of Jimmy.>

 

 

[Thaidup]

Remember The Knack? if you can't The Monkeys is way past a memory.

 

 

[Thaidup]

70's sounds, Those old groovey bands

Not bad, but still the 4th best version of Wild Horses on this thread, IMHO.

Can’t find Jimmy’s version, but I’m sure it’s a good’un.

Last Train To Clarksville.

What an awesome, poignant song that reflected that dreadful, dreadful war.

"and I don't know if I'm ever coming home"

 

Thank you.

This one comes C/o Faraday, from a different thread, again both are amazing.

 

 

[Rookiescot]

OK this is from 1971 The Velvet Undergound. One of the finest bands out there but this version is a remastered version but good grief the song is incredible. 

But gentlemen let me introduce you to a band you have never heard of singing this live.

Its starts slow but please watch to the end for some of the finest slide guitar playing you will ever hear.

 

[WrightT]

From a Prog Rock point of view, then....

Or,

I prefer the latter. The classic Yes lineup of Anderson, Bruford, Howe, Squire and Wakemen.

[WrightT]

On the other hand, continuing the Simon and Garfunkel covers,

Or from my Punk days,

 

[WrightT]

If fancy a bit of Northern Soul, the 1964 original has it heaps over the more 1981 popular cover.

 

[Grumpish]

So many covers of this one - Morning Dew by Bonnie Dobson, it was one of the standards from The Grateful Dead, even a version from the Scottish rock band, Nazareth
