Larsen B Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Has anyone mentioned Nick Cave's cover version of Disco 2000? He adds some welcome bleary-eyedness to the song's nostalgic tones. Then there's Shatner's cover of Common People. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Bert Jansch 'Blues run the game'Ah, haven't heard this, although I do have Simon & Garfunkel doing it, which is good. can't say I've heard the original though, Jackson C Frank?

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 YouTube - 346battingcenter - Range Life (Pavement Cover)This is the best cover version I've heard in years. If only all music was this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The Smiths, Golden Lights is not badOasis, are in chaotic form with My GenerationEh! I've always thought of that as the Smiths' worst song by some way. It reputedly played a big part in Johnny Marr leaving the band. I heard the original version by Twinkle was fantastic though.There's an excellent soul version of Cream's Sunshine of Your Love with a female vocal (I think) - anyone know who it's by?

Used to dj with it all the time.ANother great cover (can't remember if it's already been done yet):The Fall - "Victoria" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 The more I think about it the more i'm coming to the conclusion that the Fall are the best covers band ever....we've already said 'Mr Pharmacist' and now 'Victoria'...hows about 'There's a ghost in my house' and the brilliant 'Rollin' Dan(n)y' to be going on with????

Mr Owl PhD Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 My favourite song at the moment, and probably of the year, is the version of Sea Song by Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, sung by Becky Unthank. Robert Wyatt says it's the best version of it he's heard too.MySpace.com - Rachel Unthank & The Winterset - Northumberland, UK - Folk / Experimental / Roots Music - www.myspace.com/rachelunthank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Gladys Knights version of 'I heard it through the Gravevine'. Haven't heard Smokies version. 'I Fought The Law' is a good shout. I'd have to add off top o my head'Respect' - Aretha FranklinStones version of 'Stop Breaking Down''Stand By Me' - Lennon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
