Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah
I love Leonard Cohen, but Jeff's voice just gives me chills, especially on that track. 
(If someone already said it, I don't care-Jeff deserves the attention.) | |

I like the John Cale version as well-but Jeff's voice just has all that emotion. Man, when he was here he even felt not quite of this world. That voice-it just does things to people, you know? | |

Roots of Orchis - Possibly Maybe
An instrumental jazzy downbeat, dare I say trip-hop, version of Bjork's "Possibly Maybe" | |

SassyBritches said: GangstaFam said: I'd have to agree with that. She at least is able to equal the originals most of the time, which is quite rare. Sometimes when I don't know the original, I don't even want to cuz hers is all I need. i'll tell you, man, she fuckin' owns those songs when she's done with them. i'm not saying they're all better but she owns every single one of the covers she does. her version of i'm on fire or wrapped around your finger...this bitch...she is forever pumping my pussy! I SOOO agree with that. I never liked Nirvana, so I never paid attention to "Smells like teen Spirit" After Tori's version... OMG!!!  "America is a continent..." |

That voice-it just does things to people, you know? his voice is intoxicating, I also love the cover he did of "Calling You". Its on the Live @ Sine Legacy Edition.
btw, recognise my Jeff Buckley quote signature? .... and Im on a Prince site, go figure | |

Prince site or not-it's all about sharing info about music you love. Or any other subject for that matter.

Joe Cocker "With a little help from my friends"
Prince "One of us" (you people have no taste if you don't agree  )
Prince "A case of u" (i think Joni Mitchell has an annoying high whiney voice and the structure of her songs is always the same: a fast sung verse followed by a chorus sung in that high pitched annoying voice) [Edited 10/30/04 1:12am] | |

Oh no! No, it's not the best Isley Brothers song by a long stretch but it's a damn sight better than Todd Rundgren's original. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

It's gotta be the Jackson 5's version of (my fantasy wedding song) "Forever Came Today." Love this WAY better than the Supremes' original. | |

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash is one, and at the moment I'm really enjoying Embrace's version of D12's How Come and the Scissor Sisters "Take Me Out" both originally covered on Jo Wiley's Live Lounge. Speaking of the Scissor Sister's their version of Confortably Numb is way more enjoyable than every Pink Floyd record in existance. Oh and Pet Shop Boy's "Where The Streets Have No Name" is better than U2.
I quite enjoy cover's actually, when there's a bit of thought been put into them. I'd heartily recommend going out and getting some Harmless compilations (such as Gimme Shelter or Paint It Black - described on the cover as kaleidoscopic funk rock collision, or something like that) to hear how interesting a cover can be. Prime cuts would be The Isley Brother's Machine Gun/ Ohio (Hendrix/ Neil Young), The Meters version of Birds (Neil Young again) and Merry Clayton's Gimme Shelter. I also remember hearing a fantastically funky version of I Got A Feelin' by The Beatles once but I don't know the artist. If anyone can help me out....??? PS Avoid Paul Weller's new album of covers. Stick with the Button Downs disc on last years B-side boy set. [Edited 11/1/04 10:46am] | |
