Is it better thah the original?

Sadly ... mines Mrs. Robinson by Busted ..(only 'cos it's in a key I can actually play)

Much as I love Billy Bragg, Kirsty McColls cover of A New England is heaps betta!

[squidgy plum]

I quite like mc flys attempt at don't stop me now its not too bad but its definatly not as good as the original

[naz_nomad]

See, I'm a huge Billy Bragg fan and would have to disagree on that one.

The Kook's acoustic version of Gnarls Barkely's 'Crazy' is nice =)

Also, I love 'Another Girl, Another Planet' by Blink 182, originally by The Only Ones

Suedes version of Shipbuilding was better than the original

[Cobra.]

When Gary Moore brought out "Over the Hills and Far Away" I thought it was cr@p.

Nightwish did a version over 20 years later...and its fandabidozi...check it out

ps nightwish are best band ever

Cobra, I loved the intro to the Gary Moore 12" version... footsteps & doors slamming ...eerie

[naz_nomad]

Cobra ...recommend a Nightwish album ... is the 2006 'End of an Era' ok?

[ermintrude35]

..against better judgment I love "making plans for nigel " by nouvell vague ... (probably not better than the original though)

[naz_nomad]

ermintrude, their cover of ''Guns Of Brixton'' is amazing

[ermintrude35]

..naz...I know I got the album... I don't usualy approve of cover versions ...but nouvell vague are the exception....

[naz_nomad]

I think I'd use the word 'original' to describe Nouvelle Vague

[kipchik]

Is there such a thing as a 'good cover' then?

[naz_nomad]

kipchiiiiiiiiiiiik ...howzya?

[kipchik]

[naz_nomad]
