When's the last time we had a thread about cover songs?

Disturbed cover of Shout was cool.

 

Disturbed cover of Land of Confusion is not cool.

 

You're half WRONG as Disturbed's Land of Confusion is actually a good cover.

 

And if I may defend Disturbed, they are neither "nu-metal" nor "shit". One of the better rock bands in the past five years.

They started out as an above-average nu-metal band, turned into a REALLY damn good heavy radio/rock band, and now...they're about on the same level as pieces of shit like Seether and Trapt.

I agree with you Inc on the Pixies cover of Head On, but there's nothing wrong with JAMC version as well.

Hey, I said I like the JAMC original just fine. But the Pixies took it, cut out the British moping bastard part and turned it into the bright, fist-pumping, anthemic love song that it is.

Plenty of people seem to like "Wild Horses", so it probably should be mentioned here, since it's a Flying Burrito Brothers original.

 

I kid you not.

It's a Stones-penned tune that Keith Richards let his buddy Gram Parsons record a year before the Stones did it themselves. Not a FBB original.

Ah, I didn't realize it was still written by the Stones. Mea culpa.

 

Though, as Rando alluded to, it brings into question what exactly constitutes a cover of a song. Should the Gram Parsons and the FBB version be considered a cover, since the original authors recorded their version of the song after the "first" one?

Sorta like Danzig and Johnny Cash when it comes to the song "Thirteen." Danzig wrote it for Cash, Cash released it, and then Danzig released it.

i've always like parsons version more. its simpler. more harmonious. jagger sounds a little too jagger in that song. i don't listen to the stones for gentle ballads, man.

 

i been listening to alotta the dirtbombs lately. if that counts.

The Fall's version of 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' off the new album is cool. But more cos of the album.

Good man.

 

The all covers Ultraglide in Black is their best album, though that all originals half of the If You Don't Already Have a Look comp surpasses the covers half.

i've only listened to ultraglide. i'll check out their later stuff sometime soon.

'A Night To Remember' by Liberty X... A cover of the classic Shalamar disco hit...

 

Yes, I like disco.

The Knife's version of 'Heartbeats' wipes the floor with José Gonzalez's.
