Members gismo recording Posted October 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 I expected someone to say Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded by the Light". But I actually like the original Bruce Springsteen version. At least in Bruce's version the word is clearly "deuce" and not "douche" which is what it sounds like in the MM version.

Members rasputin1963 Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm not sure I'd say I like them BETTER than the originals, necessarily; often that's like comparing apples and oranges. But here are some covers I like very, very much: Elders amongst us will know that this had originally been done by Buddy Holly & The Crickets back in the 50's. The original was of course Motown's first hit, circa 1961. Don't hate-- I know we have some Neil fans here.. Heaven Bound was one of those 1970's studio efforts, like Singers Unlimited, in which they were after a super-polished recording, the production almost being more important than the song or the group itself.. Nothing replaces Smokey. But as we know those Asher/Massenburg records of the 70's sounded so damn good... [video=youtube;dy-AX5QItPE] I'm a huge Dee Dee Warwick fan (Dionne's younger sister). Unfortunately, all the great Dee Dee sides of the 60's sound as though they were recorded in a high school gymnasium.... but I like 'em no less for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfONnB1mx5E Laura Nyro of course had done it first. Bones Howe of course doing the amazing production here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6gpzBBuKpk Love the trippy FX on this one, haha. It was a woman who did this production in 1969... but I can't recall her name... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folder Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 This is a remake of the Black Sabbath song "Back Street Kids". It was recorded by some guy named Mark L in England.

Members davd_indigo Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 My mind instantly went to The Chambers Brothers and "I Can't Turn You Loose". Much more lively than Otis in my opinion. Chambers Brothers Otis Redding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ernest Buckley Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Anyone who covers a Bob Dylan tune. I don`t care who it is, it is usually a lot better. Great tunes, lousy singer… Jeff Buckleys cover of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah…. just a mesmerizing cover of an already great tune. Joe Cockers cover of The Beatles "With A Little Help From My Friends". Hearts cover of Led Zeps "Stairway to Heaven". Their cover gives me chills from the moment she starts to sing… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockViolin Posted October 17, 2015 Members Share Posted October 17, 2015 "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" - T Rex/The Power Station Respect to Marc Bolan and T rex...but this rules. Slammin Bonham-esque drums by Tony Thompson! Guitar that totally spanks, with great "brown sound" overtones. And who knew a couple of guys from Duran Duran could rawk? There's also some very nice extended versions at youtube, with babes. But you guys can find them for yourself I'm sure. .png' alt='16x16_smiley-wink.png.ac1518ec0dabe458f31c1303ed9ec588.png' alt='smiley-wink'>.png'> And now if you'll excuse me, I have some more viewing, I mean listening- to do. .png' alt='16x16_man-very-happy.png.58f4fc7892e8041ddc6575c8d5db3ad6.png' alt='very-happy'>.png'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
