Well, Tori is my Muse

She has introduced me to many other music doing her favorites
So... What's her favorite cover????

For me is PHILADELPHIA, Yeah, By Neil Young

What's Yours????

A Case of You

oh there are so many, I like most of her covers,
she always does a great job.

some of my fav released ones are:

Famouse Blue Raincoat
A Case Of You
After All
Time
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Losing My Religion
London Girls


but from the ones she does in concert, the one
I like most is:

After The Goldrush by Neil Young



Her cover of "Live To Tell" by Madonna was good
as well.

Do you have a good quality full version of that ? I have it but it's bad quality and not the full song.

I got the one that's on "diagnoised". is that the one you have too?
it's pretty bad quality, yes, but it's still a very cool performance

i usually like most of her covers. the only one that i don't like is her cover of enjoy the silence...snoozefest! some of my favorites are:

wrapped around your finger
i'm on fire
heart of gold
angie
happiness is a warm gun
she's leaving home
a case of you

I thought the same thing about Enjoy the Silence, but when I heard it live I liked it better.

I agree, Wrapped Around Your Finger and I'm On Fire.

Also: You Make Me Feel Brand New , LOVE SONG (the cure) on HARPSICHORD!!!

Threads like these always inspire me to google Tori. Check out this Tori Covers site! http://www.yessaid.com/do...overs.html Go get your download on! I just downloaded Ain't No Sunshine.

A Case Of You
Strange Little Girl

Philadelphia is a great one..

A Case of U is awesome too.

My personal favorite is I Don't Like Mondays. She really turns that song into something sad and beautiful.

Daniel is probably my favorite that she performs live but hasn't recorded. So gorgeous.

I actually like her version of Strange Little Girl.

Thanks for the google! That's awesome. I downloaded Purple Rain and Live to Tell and Losing My Religion. Purple Rain has some good moments, but she really makes Losing My Religion her own. Her power comes out in that song. Tori:

There are 2 versions of Purple Rain on there: One from 2003 and one from 1996. I had heard the 03 one before but not the 96 one. I like it better. It's just her and the harmonium. Very well done, imo.

'97 Bonnie & Clyde

hi sextonseven...

It's on the "Cornflake Girl" ltd. maxi along with Hendrix's "If 6 Was 9" and Billie's' "Strange Fruit".

I saw her perform one of the '96 versions (at Jones Beach, Long Island, NY). I was so shocked at the time. I had already seen her live twice that year at Madison Square Garden and only decided at the very last minute to go to the Jones Beach show since it wasn't sold out. I thought seeing her sing "Purple Rain" was my reward for that last minute decision.

VinaBlue said:

I just listened to the '96 version. Indeed, it's much tighter. Hearing Purple Rain on the harmonium gives me chills, feels like I'm sitting in church -- just where that song deserves to be.

My friend and I used to play coffeehouses. We would do a few covers, including Little Amsterdam and sometimes Caught a Lite Sneeze. One night we were fooling around with the Boys for Pele songbook and practicing Hey Jupiter. He played guitar and sang and I played a drum and sang back-up mostly, but for the Tori songs I'd take the lead. Anywho when we were playing Hey Jupiter, after a while he stops and says, "Hey, this is like Purple Rain!" If you notice her "Oooooh-oooooh-ooooh-oooh"s at the end sometimes sound more like the ones in Hey Jupiter than the ones in Purple Rain. Very subtle.

VinaBlue said:

I'm gonna listen for that. I think it's amazing when Tori sings a song about religion, she is
really singing a song about religion. And if it's not quite a song about religion, she makes it a song about religion.

umm...should? ummm....

"A myyoolattoo...an aaaalbino!"

What a joke.

My favorite Tori cover is Jawbox's version of "Cornflake Girl."
