Default Another music thread ....can classic originals be outdone..

Was listening to a Paul McCartney and Wings cd on the way home from work. So the title says it all....Can classic originals be outdone? I grew up loving the James Bond films but I prefer the Gun's n Roses version I think .

So this


Or this

I've always struggled between these 2.
I loved the original by Led Zep, and then came along Far Corporation.



Now get the pyre built, the brands lit, and burn me for heresy!


I guess it really depends on the mood I'm in. The original goes more with a Floyd mood, (Pink, not pickled).

Generally speaking, I hate covers. It's a bit like movies now days, nothing's new and the remakes/sequels are usually not a patch on the originals. Sadly most (young) people don't even know that what they are listening to/watching is a cover/remake.

Having said that, I saw this band live back in about 1990 and out of the blue they did this:


I was really impressed with how they did it (and they were much nicer on the eye than the originals too )

Each week, the TV series "The Money or the Gun" would feature a band covering Stairway To Heaven. Even Rolf Harris did one, complete with wobble board

Another band I really liked who also did it:


In fact, here's the complete set: http://www.youtube.com/user/djonusas...1C97ADB8ED0B89

Then there's these...




But aside from that, I can't think of too many covers worthy of a listen, except maybe my own band's efforts

Guns 'N' Roses?... can't possibly make their stuff worse!

With you on this one Mark. The Far Corporation version is immense for all the right reasons. But the original........, well, it's the original.
