Covers

I know I posted the original in another thread, but here it goes again.

I think Patti sings with much more rawness, her song communicates rapture. These girls make it more sweet and they make Patti cry.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to post Where did you sleep last night, Plateau or this one, I love all three, but I've liked this one the longest.

Ha! A friend of mine did a cover of this version of the song, let me see if I can find it. I might have to venture into the obscure world of MySpace.

Another excellent cover I almost forgot about... the Gladiators' cover of Bob Marley's 'Soul Rebel'. Fucking class, man.

I like this. I had never heard it before and initially got disappointed when I didn't hear Tricky. He has the sexiest voice.

 

This is great. I think this is probably my favorite Marley song.

 

A lot of the vocals on that album were by Tricky's girlfriend at the time, Martina Topley-Bird.

 

I've never heard much of his music because I just like it if it's there, but I've always liked his voice. That was a good song though, maybe I'll check out that album.

I listened to Devo's version of satisfaction, it's better than the original.

Takes me back to the 8th or 9th grade. I have always loved this cover.

 

It takes me back too, I actually really like that album.

I ended up working today from 7 to 10pm and now I'm unable to remove myself from the computer :s

 

Yeah Lauryn Hill is so bad ass.

Here's another on of my fav covers.
