Bigsby Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Now maybe I'm going to get into trouble here, but I think Glen Campbell's version is perhaps better, or at least as good as the original.YouTube - Glen Campbell - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)I really like the original, but deep down it's really a country/folky type tune and as a result I think Mr Campbell's vocals suit the song better.Following on from the Regional Accents thread, I'm not really sure what type of accent Billie Joe Armstrong sings in - is it trying to do a British type punk thing? It's not the same whiney "pop punk" thing ala Blink 182 or Stayover. I don't know what the hell it is.Anyhoo, decent cover IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 it's not a patch on the original.Get out, it's actually better.This might be due to apathy with the original after having heard it countless times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
