After some discussion on the idea with @Public_N_M_E and a lot of delay, here we are with our initial "Covers Post" (but without a day of the week or a name). So post your original and cover links, what do you like / dislike and check out a few more while you're here. What should we call this anyway?

Starts around the 1:35 mark https://youtu.be/SCR-gqMHxw8?si=xwFw-nAlKdeP86cu

Leonard Cohen covers are pretty much their own genre (and I almost went with Concrete Blonde's "Everybody Knows"), but "Closing Time" is not one of the usual suspects. His original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-0lV5qs1Qw

Fairport Convention's cover, which I enjoy just a touch more, to be honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duTarbJNcTg

Oooo that's a great cover.

Man I am loving this thread. So many wonderful interpretations and homages to some fantastic songs.

I have never heard this cover. I would still take Leonard's version but this is fun.

That's wild. Are you familiar with the band Green Jelly? They do comedy metal and have done a few versions of nursery rhymes as metal songs. This reminded me of them.

I haven't heard of it, but I'll give it a listen. I'm not really into metal... but if it's funny, I might even enjoy it. Haha.

Should I post Sepultura doing Just One Fix?

Oooooo crowded house. That's a really strong submission.

It's close and that cavo cover is absolute 🔥 but I think she's leaning with her loyalties towards crowded house.

I prefer the cavo cover personally, that's fantastic. That falsetto flip was flawless, absolutely nailed it.

When I was playing it to test to make sure the link and video were working my daughter said "I like that song"

So I started singing it and said "do you want me to play that song on guitar"

Did they enjoy it?

I watched Top Gun Maverick in Texas on Veterans day. That wasn't a slice of American pie but the whole pie at once, but it was a lot of fun.

They're enjoying it. So far. Very nostalgic.

I loved it when I saw it in the cinema.

I liked it much more at the cinema then when I saw it at home.

The cinema just gives you more... It takes up so much more of your attention, their sound system is better, their visual display is better. It's just a much better experience.

That's basically entering into a pie eating contest which is American pie-ception?

71 sats \ 7 replies \ @Public_N_M_E 23 Mar

Two more because why not!

Sorry Paul and Art but David Draiman and Disturbed repurposed this with some real power.

Fun fact, Paul Simon was interviewed after the disturbed version came out and he said. (I'll have to paraphrase). "I wish we'd done it like that, they made it how we wanted it to sound. It's their song now.". Huge huge praise from such an incredible musician.

Enjoy.

I'd go sound of silence, land of confusion, shout 2000. Personally. What's your thoughts?

It is Shout, Land then Silence

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Public_N_M_E 23 Mar

Wow. Really spicy take. I remember them releasing land of confusion and thinking it was the better version than Genesis. I stand by that, but you'd be hard pressed to beat disturbeds versions of anything. They're phenomenal musicians and Draiman is an incredible vocalist.

The ataris version of this track holds a permanent place on my playlists. Fantastic version.

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 23 Mar freebie

It is one of the few instances where I would pick the cover over the original. Oddly enough I would do the same with Don Henley and Vince Gill's cover of Sacrifice by Elton John. So while I take one away from Don, I give it back to him.

Plus I have an absolutely wild video of my daughter rocking out to the Ataris version when she was 3 with her toy guitar. She grabbed sunglasses and put them on, the whole 9 yards. It was awesome

Damn sorry, I missed this thread yesterday was so busy all day. I've long thought a cover day should be done as my fave band, Thunder is the king of covers, IMO.

Here's one of my fave covers of theirs. Thunder doing the stones better than the stones, IMO

You're No Good is a song I enjoy, and it seems many people don't realize that the Linda Ronstadt version is not the original! I enjoy all three of these equally, and would have a hard time choosing one as my favorite. I also enjoy Van Halen's take, as well as The Swinging Blue Jeans, but I rank them a step lower than these.

Dee Dee Warwick - I like the groove the original version has, and the short guitar solo is great too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cz__BzSJPY Linda Ronstadt - The one most people think is the best, at least based on YouTube views! A great overall sound. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e0vJNp5asqc&pp=ygUdbGluZGEgcm9uc3RhZHQgeW91J3JlIG5vIGdvb2Q%3D Sarah Ross - A newer version that blends Linda's version in with both country and rap. Not for everyone, but it brings something new to the table. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0aCi7Iz4oG8&pp=ygUZc2FyYWggcm9zcyB5b3UncmUgbm8gZ29vZA%3D%3D
