Athena March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 Songza has a playlist called "Acoustic Versions of Pop Songs" which is 90% covers. It's my favourite playlist, but there are only about two dozen songs and I've gone through them all several times now. They have a lot of Boyce Avenue. It's a good bedtime playlist I've found. In any case, I discovered a few cover artists and bands on there including Michael Schulte's - Whatcha Say cover. Infinitely better than the original Jason Derulo version: Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/3/#findComment-973555
DeLurker April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 (edited) I loved Scritti Politti's Perfect Way, but had my mind blown when Miles Davis did a cover. All I could think was how cool is it to have Miles-Freakin'-Davis cover your song? ETA: For the record, if Miles Davis covers you (and he's covered a lot of artists) that should be engraved on your headstone.

magicdog June 15, 2015 Share June 15, 2015 I found myself listening to a 60s British band called, The Rockin' Berries. They're all but unknown in the US as they never did any original music - but they did do some good covers. One was called, "Funny How Love Can Be" (1965) which was originally written and recorded by another group called, The Ivy League (1965). I listened to both versions and they come almost to a draw. IMO, I prefer the Berries' version - albeit slightly. Rockin' Berries VS Ivy League Of course Three Dog Night's Danny Hutton recorded a very different version circa 1966 but it doesn't grab me. I do give him credit for trying something different like using medieval instruments and speeding up the tempo. Thoughts?

Wiendish Fitch July 19, 2015 Share July 19, 2015 (edited) Don't lecture me too much but... I love the Dixie Chicks's cover of "Landslide". I think the harmonizing and banjo playing are an interesting juxtaposition that work well with the melancholy lyrics, making song more bittersweet than the original. Also, it's mostly for nostalgia reasons (never underestimate the power of nostalgia). Josh Groban's latest album has taken up practically permanent residence in my car CD player ('cause I'm a dork), and I love, love, love his rendition of "Over the Rainbow". By God, he sells it. I think it's right up there with Eva Cassidy and Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole's versions as my favorite, non-Judy Garland version.

magicdog July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Been back to the iPod again - with covers of "Take A Giant Step" by The Rockin' Berries and "Pineapple Princess" by Na Leo. Take A Giant Step was originally recorded by The Monkees but this was the first time hearing a cover by someone else. It's actually quite good - it's produced very differently than the Monkees version but enjoyable. Carole King's version (actually, a demo) sounds very "country" to me but a bit closer to the Berries' version. Pineapple Princess was made popular by Annette Funicello but I didn't hear her version until after I head Na Leo's version during a trip to Hawaii. No contest, Na Leo's version is better of the two.

Not to be forgotten, is this version by Johnny Hallyday - in French! From what I've read, he was really big in the French music circles.

MyAimIsTrue February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 One of my favorite covers is You Really Got Me, originally by the Kinks, covered by Van Halen. Van Halen did some good Kinks covers as their version of "Where Have All the Good Times Gone" is a standout (maybe not better than the original but damn close in my opinion.) I much, much prefer Eric Clapton's "I Shot the Sheriff" to Bob Marley's original. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/3/#findComment-1988497
AntiBeeSpray February 24, 2016 Share February 24, 2016 Disturbed's cover of Simon and Garfunkel's song, The Sound of Silence... blew me away. It's that good. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/3/#findComment-1990707
