Fiona Apple's version of "Across The Universe" is crackin'
Anybody know what ever happened to Fiona Apple?
Also...
Just heard the Justin Hawkins' new single "this town isn't big enough for the both of us" (cover Sparkz). Pretty cool cover as his voice is perfect.
Blowin' in the wind - Sam Cooke (have no idea who this was orignally by but I know its a cover)
Greatest Love of all - Whitney Houston
I'll be missing you - Puff Daddy
Also from the Garage Inc album, I'd add Turn the Page (Bob Segar) and Loverman (Nick Cave). James Hetfield's voice is perfect for Loverman - the Nick Cave version sounds awful in comparison!
And whoever called SS a novelty act, I guess you just don't know their history or anything. But I don't think they set out to be a novelty act, I think they class themselves as a proper band playing their own instruments and all of that..
But anyway, i'm sorry, I just have a tendency to defend them because I love their music and am a very loyal fan. A bit of a fanatic if you will.
Erm, I wasn't suggesting they set out to be a novelty act, but that doesn't change my opinion that they are. They'll be remembered with the greats though, right up there with Black Lace.
However, like I said in the a'scrobbler thread, no issue with you defending or loving them, it's all taste and opinions.

This Mortal Coil - Song To the Siren (orig. Tim Buckley)
This Mortal Coil - Till I Gain Control Again (orig. Emmylou Harris)
and I'd love to hear Justin Hawkins doing This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us

If its all tastes and opinions, why do you insist on dragging every thread you post in down to a slanging match because other people like different music to you? :yawn:
You're obviously much better educated and like far superior music (in your taste and opinion) than everybody on DS. :rolleyes:
But to continue the thread, The Pixies did a great version of The Jesus and Mary Chain's Head On.
Can't say they're all 'great' covers (especially Nick Cave) but there is some good stuff on here

Kathryn Wiiliams - Hallelujah
Kathryn Williams - In A Broken Dream (Python Lee Jackson aka Rod Stewart)
Interested to see the post re Inspirations album - some classics there and will have to look out for that. As a long standing Scorps fan especially intrigued to see Sails of Charon on the list (thank christ it's not that godawful Wind Of Change!) especially given that it was released long before they achieved any maintream success.
Oh ok, ok. I should've just kept my big mouth shut. But this was a threwad for good covers and hate it, that in every covers thread, good or bad, there is some pissed off Pink Floyd fan complaining about that cover. We all get the point! Pink Floyd fans hate the cover, I think everybody knows that now.
And whoever called SS a novelty act, I guess you just don't know their history or anything. But I don't think they set out to be a novelty act, I think they class themselves as a proper band playing their own instruments and all of that..

I'm with you here Scissor*Sister, I am also a devoted fan of the band! I actually find the who Pink Floyd thing quite funny now, would have found it hysterical if SS had joined Pink Floyd on stage at Live 8, would have brightened up their (In My Opinion!) dull performance! & before everyone jumps on my case about pink Floyd, I am just saying i didnt enjoy their performance, just giving my opinion!!!

You're totally right, but you're going to get slaughtered by Pink Floyd fans.
I've heard a few people say they prefer the SS version of Comfortbly Numb again to be verbally attacked by Pink Floyd fans. It's only opinion. I guess the SS version is more lively than Pink Floyd's and I prefer it but that's just my opinions.
I also think it's incredably harsh to compare them to Black Lace.
Ok, some of heir music is fun but music is so serious these days and sometimes you need something you can dance to and have a laugh!

Just don't get it at all, and maybe that's my own problem, but I have listened to their stuff, and I think they are ok. Definitely listenable ( Hmmm??), but that doesn't change my oopinion they are a novelty act.

Not heard Korn's one, but bet it's not as bad as Mel B's.
Gun's version did truly rock though.

Was just reading through this thread about to post about the Gun record because I thought nobody would remember it.
Seems I was wrong. They were not really my type of band but that cover of word up was good.
Also from the Garage Inc album, I'd add Turn the Page (Bob Segar) and Loverman (Nick Cave). James Hetfield's voice is perfect for Loverman - the Nick Cave version sounds awful in comparison!
Then of course there is Jefferson Airplanes covers of White Rabbit and Somebody to Love (The Great Society)

Yes, yes, f**king yes!
And i'd like to hear Justin Hawkins choke on his own vomit, so here's hoping for at least one of these, yeah?

Yeah right.
Like, it's Korn we're talking about here, not some Scottish pub band over 10 years ago.
When I was at uni my mate's band did a cover of Dancing Queen, which was, like, brilliant - so much better than the Sugarcubes or U2's version.
But nobody cares.
Can't say they're all 'great' covers (especially Nick Cave) but there is some good stuff on here

You are quite right, if I remember correctly, Gun were a 2 bit rock band but their version of Word Up was very good and did make the top 20.
Suppose its all down to being in the right place at the right time!

Wouldn't count it as good dance music though.
