Sir Stewart Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I liked exactly zero Beatles covers until I heard The Black Keys doing "She Said, She Said." I suppose it's the exception that proves the rule (the rule being don't cover the Beatles). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Rascal Flatts "Life Is a Highway" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The Clash - "Pressure Drop" (Toots and the Maytals) -Despite the fact that it is being used to shill for Nissan.Bryan Ferry - "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall" (Dylan)Circle Jerks - "Golden Shower of Hits" (Various 70's pop stylist) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Cat Power's I Found a Reason (Velvet Underground) may be my favorite cover ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I liked exactly zero Beatles covers until I heard The Black Keys doing "She Said, She Said." I suppose it's the exception that proves the rule (the rule being don't cover the Beatles). You can't have heard Al Green's I Want To Hold Your Hand then? You also probably need to hear Fats Domino doing Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey. The Band's When I Paint My Masterpiece is pretty much a perfect song in my mind.

It's not a torrent site, it's yousendit (you just need to sign up for free and then you can download the link as an mp3 file). If you can't do that, I'll email it to you if you send me your email via pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 "I Fought the Law" - The Clash (Bobby Fuller Four) maybe i shouldnt say this, but bryan adams did a good version of that one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZenLunatic Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I liked exactly zero Beatles covers until I heard The Black Keys doing "She Said, She Said." I suppose it's the exception that proves the rule (the rule being don't cover the Beatles). What about Joe Cocker - A Little Help from My Friends. Even though it became the Wonder Years song, I thought he made the song better. Really rare when a cover feels better than the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So yeah, I did a search and didn't see any threads covering this topic. There was at least two threads about cover songs - not to long ago. I don't know why they don't show up. Note - I am not busting on you - just letting you know it's been done before.
