Original vs. Cover

[BigRed]

They have TONS of great stuff.

Yes they do.
You know who else does?
Daryl Hall from Hall & Oats. I love the videos on youtube "Live from Daryl's house".
His buddies, and their guests can play ANYTHING.

 

[HoughMade]

Here's a musical family that is really talented.

Love the Petersons.

 

[Rong]

Tim Cappello's sax cover from the lost boys of I still Believe by The Call, although the original is awfully good.

 

[MrSmitty]

This is right up there with Johnny Cash’s Hurt as one of the best covers ever.

I agree! such a haunting version....I could listen over and over....

 

[Twangbanger]

I guess this could double for the "guilty pleasure" thread:

 

[actaeon277]

I don't know about .. "better", but I enjoyed this

I do like Daryl Hall but he might be the most full of himself person I have ever seen put on film.
that is who he is and I deal with it in spite of the show overall might be better without him.

 

[Rookie]

This one has gotten popular again thanks to Stranger Things, but I like the cover much better.

 

[Lpherr]

Check out these kids.
A family band. Look at some of their other video's.




Another one...

Agreed. While the music is good, he does come off as quite arrogant and annoying.
But its not too bad if you just watch the songs on youtube. I found a couple full episodes on there and that is where I noticed his attitude and demeanor. Not quite so much in the songs.

For instance- Slade's version beats Quiet Riot.

Really wanted to read this thread when I saw the title...but when it immediately starts with a falsehood.

[gregkl]

Goth with red hair, eh? She's good looking!

 

[HoughMade]

I prefer the Kentucky Headhunters' version.

...and their version corrects Norman Greenbaum's theological error (repeated in the version above)(Romans 3:23)

 

[manifest destiny]

You like the song, but not the version that everyone else seems to like.

For instance- Slade's version beats Quiet Riot.



What are other songs everyone has heard, but you think the best version isn't the one you always hear?

Quiet Riot's version is a cover!? Manifest's mind has officially blown. I never knew.
