Theo Parrish on STW. Well played

P.E. & Anthrax, Bring the Noise.

Well at least no-one seems to have mentioned Sound of Silence this time. So that’s good.

Speaking of SRV, his cover of Little Wing is brilliant.

Yes thank you Kurt, Hometown glory High Contrast is ace.
Next favourite remix of mine then…

[video]https://youtu.be/6LmED-hxTtA[/video]

Bowie and Leftfield

Wonder how many tunes above feature samples from my 4 😉

Old wobbly head doing Say hello, wave goodbye
[video]https://youtu.be/-bzdrabPpRE[/video]

The Clash, I fought the Law.

Bobby Fuller’s original is pretty good, though….

Ramones – Baby I Love You
Beatles – You Really Got A Hold On Me.
Stone Roses – Elizabeth My Dear (Scarborough Fair).

Scissor Sisters – Comfortably Numb

Edit – Pearl Jam’s version above (that I hadn’t heard before) is a crap regurgitation of the original but SS re-imagine it beautifully IMO.

Stevie Wonders version of We Can Work it out is pretty awesome.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, has ever improved on an original like Joe Cocker

London Grammar Wicked game

Linkin Park Rolling in the deep

Metallica Turn the page

I do have a thing for covers, and I could probably fill a thread with covers of What It’s Worth but I’ll go with Lou Rawls

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yiDx-F80XE[/video]

The other song I could probably fill a thread with versions I like is Season of the Witch and again Lou Rawls has a decent stab at it

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hl3U0KhwgM[/video]

but my all time favourite version of Season of the Witch, and probably one of my all time favourite musical things ever, full stop is Brian Auger and the Trinity feat. Julie Driscoll on vocals.

If I could ever recommend a song to anyone who doesn’t know it and say “please, give this one a chance and a listen” it would probably be this:

I do like that London Grammar version of Wicked Game..

Another song that I like two very, very different versions of:

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yLSEerKqqE[/video]

and the other slightly daft dubby thing I’ve been listening to a bit recently has been this

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCUYUst5Bfs[/video]

The Dream Academy – Please, Please, Please

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubpRcZNJAnE[/video]

Norman Cooks Brimful of Asha remix
Faith No More’s – War Pigs cover is better than original imo and they did a cover of Drugstore Cowboy theme too
Black Crowe’s Hard2 Handle
The Jam’s David Watts
Limp Bizkits Mission Impossible theme
Stereophonics hand Bags n glad rags
Golden slumbers/carry that weight by Jennifer Hudson was emotionally moving
You’ll never walk Alone – Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Prolly this.

Usually listen to this in the garage whilst doing an oil change on the Rover 75, mmmmmmm maroon.
