Do you ever compare covers? Recently, I've been listening to "Jolene", yes Dolly Parton's lol I don't even particularly like country music but somehow this song fascinates me at the moment. I love Natalie Merchant and she covers it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WOphHZl5NM&index=4&list=PL8TPiGHZkEpQC8ILobhxlSpztjRQhx0XT Miley Cyrus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw Alison Krauss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iecixko7HbQ The White Stripes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE3-q-aoFZI Anyway, now maybe it will get stuck in one of your heads instead of mine.
I like some of the stuff that Godsmack covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CRWKTguxNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPi-MOxR0l4
When I had Spotify, they did not have the Beatles LPs so me and probably God knows how many others made playlists of Beatles covers. I even made playlists of covers of the LPs! Ever heard Bobbie Gentry's cover of "Fool On A Hill"?
I feel I have to put this on ( i have no Choice ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziwsjE1O4Ow&feature=youtu.be
I like some covers.. if they are better than the original.. if not... I wanna slap 'em for even trying. Like.. any cover of Pretty Woman other than KD Lang's version... just no. stoppit. You can't hit those notes and stop trying. I love all the Playing For Change vids. 'Jolene' was always one of my two Parton favs. She did a cover of 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' and 'Peace Train' with Ladysmith Black Mambazo that was better than the originals. I like most anything Ladysmith ever did, though.
Another Nazz cover ! Joni Mitchel This time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ulDc8R4uhA&feature=youtu.be
