frankie Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I have no excuses for this, I don't even listen to Cradle of Filth in general, but I like this cover. (Which doesn't mean I don't like the original!) Oh and this will get me a few enemies. Beats the original! Quote
chesilbeach Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Oh and this will get me a few enemies.Not me! I actually agree with you - I'm old enough that I remember it first hand, and I have a 7" vinyl single of it in the attic. Funnily enough, we were only talking about it yesterday after a Beatles question on a quiz show. Thanks for digging out the video, has cheered me up no end this evening. Quote

You're very welcome, I'm only happy to have someone agree with me I have to confess, when I listened to this song back when I was a kid, I love-love-loved it, and I never knew it wasn't an original song. It was only 10 years after that when I was at a bar where there was a Beatles cover band and they played the song that I realised it wasn't a Bananarama original Great that you still own the vinyl single, that's precious!

Eleonora Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Here is one more cover. The original first and now the cover Quote
muggle not Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Original : Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers Cover : Unchained Melody - Marty Robbins Edited May 17, 2013 by muggle not Quote
Kell Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Cat's in the Cradle - originally sung by Harry Chapin, improved upon by Cat Stevens, and then made awesome by Ugly Kid Joe. The UKJ version is my favourite, which is funny because I quite like Cat Stevens and hate UKJ! Quote
shirley Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Another day in paradise original was Phil Collins - Jam Tronik was so much better Quote
Will Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Only The Good Die Young, originally by Billy Joel covered by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes. I don't mind Joel too much (blame my parents) but a song like that sounds so much better played by a slightly questionable punk band. Quote
muggle not Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 The Kingston Trio had the original version of Seasons In The Sun and it was a great song by them, however, I like the Terry Jacks cover better and it was a worldwide hit. Here is the Kingston Trio original: Quote
tuxedo cat Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Who - Summertime Blues originally done by Eddie Cochrane Cream - Crossroads Origin disputed, but generally credited to Robert Johnson I have brain lock right now, but can remember some dreadful covers I wish I could forget. Quote
Anna Begins Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Don Henley's Boys of Summer By The Ataris (my favorite cover, Smooth Criminal, already mentioned ) Worst cover- and this my favorite band, so that says a lot- is Big Yellow Taxi By Counting Crows. Edited November 30, 2013 by Anna Begins Quote

muggle not Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 The original version of Maybelline by Chuck Berry is almost impossible to beat. I also like George Jones's version (no surprise there I guess - the biggest star that I drank a few beers with in days gone bye) Quote
muggle not Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 Which version do you all like best, the original written and sung by Roy Orbison or the cover and signature song of Linda Ronstadt https://youtu.be/kri4VH_Mdd4 https://youtu.be/Kp9G0zkorio Quote

Think it's Linda Ronstadt for me. Whatcha reckon Muggles? Quote
muggle not Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I give Linda Ronstadt an edge over Roy Orbison on the Blue Bayou song. Another great song, Crying, written and performed by Roy Orbison. Don McLean did a great cover on it. I can’t decide between the two and give it a tie. Roy Orbison and kd lang did a duet on Crying in a performance which was awesome. https://youtu.be/tNdBLBleO90 https://youtu.be/XjMNOouIb0k https://youtu.be/vmisOxCHEiw Edited January 17, 2018 by muggle not Quote
poppy Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Love Don McLean. His And I Love You So was covered by many artists including Elvis Presley, Rick Astley, Shirley Bassey, Glen Campbell, Bobby Goldsboro, Tom T. Hall, Emmylou Harris, Engelbert Humperdinck, Howard Keel, Johnny Mathis, Nana Mouskouri, Matt Monro, Olivia Newton-John, Jim Nabors, Helen Reddy and Bobby Vinton. Quote
