March 19, 20241 yr The original is really good, but I think the Clash probably surpassed it. The urgency is compelling.
March 20, 20241 yr Happened to be searching random Taylor songs recently just to learn if there is one in existence that I might actually enjoy and stumbled across this cover. It's extremely solid and I love the twang and tone she gave it. Edited March 20, 20241 yr by Chopper
May 14, 20241 yr This version is better than the original, mainly because I can't stand the original. I guess there was a good song in there somewhere.

It's extremely solid and I love the twang and tone she gave it. I think that. She could fart into a microphone and her fans would absolutely go nuts and tear the place down because they thought that it was the best fart ever and Taylor showed them that it is okay to fart into a microphone in public. This video above is straight up Elvis/ One Direction/ Beatles screaming your lungs out fanaticism.

June 9, 20241 yr I didn't know quite where to put this, and I apologize if this is the wrong thread in advance. This popped up at random in my youtube feed and I just thought it was so incredible some of you might enjoy it. Only quasi a cover, but to say that she is talented is a bit of an understatement.
June 12, 20241 yr Author I might not be right, but I like Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal better the Michael Jackson's.

June 14, 20241 yr I don't actually think there's a good song buried there. It's junior varsity no-melody yarling crap, just like most of the late-90's "music". A banjo didn't save that garbage.

June 14, 20241 yr Author These 5 words should never appear in this sequence. I don't like Alien Ant Farm. I think their version of Smooth Criminal is better than Michael Jackson's. I don't know if I've ever heard another one of their songs.

June 19, 20241 yr I had no idea Cyndi Lauper's version was a cover until this morning. I wouldn't say her version is better. Just really different.
June 19, 20241 yr I wouldn't call that a cover. I don't think Hazard ever released it. At any rate, Cyndi's version is vastly better.

June 23, 20241 yr this has been stuck in my head. note that I'm not arguing that it is better than the original. but i like it

June 23, 20241 yr I've seen Kacey a few times. Always great. One time was an Austin club gig at Momo's -- I doubt there were 100 people there. I stood right at the front of the stage, maybe 10 feet to her right. She was crazy good . . . and very pregnant.

July 19, 20241 yr I just back from seeing the movie Twisters. There's a scene when the main character is walking past some guys playing acoustic guitars and the song is "Wall of Death" by the great Richard Thompson. I never thought I would hear such an obscure song in a big budget blockbuster. I wouldn't say this is better than the original, but it's a damn good version.
July 19, 20241 yr Jesus. She was simply spectacular. I love it when she gets into that mid-high register and starts to push it. She gets just a touch of rasp. It's clear at 2:43. "Whoa oh oh baby, take a good look at my face". Just an astonishing natural talent.

July 19, 20241 yr I'll say it: SRV + DT did Voodoo Child better than Hendrix. #ducksYes, but Jimi created it as basically an on the spot improvisation.SRV had a loooong time to listen, consider, and improve.
July 19, 20241 yr I scrolled through the thread and I don't think this has been posted yet, and I was gonna say I prefer Urge Overkill's version of "Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon" to Neil Diamond's, but I just listened to them both and I don't know that I think that anymore. It's a pretty faithful rendition, and I think they're both pretty fucking cool

July 19, 20241 yr There have been a lot of songs about underaged girls, way too many. I remember hearing a comedy bit about it. Can't remember who the comic was.

July 19, 20241 yr On 5/14/2023 at 6:32 PM, Chad Fuck said: True, and it was at a time when covers had fallen out in favor of originals. Not like the 60s when everyone covered everyone whenever. I mean, Hendrix covered Sgt. Pepper's like the day after it came out. Man, I love the Pixies and that would have made a great Pixies original. But to me, the crunchy guitars and moaning vocals of the brothers Reid completely make that tune.
