"there she goes" was an sucky remake of a great song

6/30/2008 10:52:07 PM

Alien Ant Farm's "smooth criminal" on the album is awful.

The radio/video version is good, though.

i just made a note to never listen to your music recommendations evar.

6/30/2008 11:07:03 PM

its called a "cover"

when a band or musician plays another band or musician's song

that's a cover

not a remake, redo, mulligan, what the fuck ever

cover

6/30/2008 11:37:28 PM

new found glory has done a lot of pretty cool covers...like the cover of "Stay" (that lisa loeb song)


they put out 2 "From the Screen to your Stereo" albums with movie song covers

no its called a remake

6/30/2008 11:50:19 PM

The Killers' cover of Joy Division's Shadowplay was ok i guess, maybe?

6/30/2008 11:53:59 PM

^^^ Personally, I'm partial to their Everything I Do cover, but if you don't like punk, you won't like it.
How has this thread gotten this far with no mention of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" by Nirvana?
Or, for that matter, "All Along The Watchtowers" by Jimi.

[Edited on June 30, 2008 at 11:55 PM. Reason : Fuckers post too fast.]

6/30/2008 11:55:10 PM

Hendrix's all along the watchtower

7/1/2008 12:08:58 AM

One favorite is too hard to name. A few:

Goldfinger - 99 Red Baloons (originally Nena)
Goldfinger - More Today than Yesterday (originally Spiral Starecase, though everyone (myself included until recently) thinks it's by Chicago)
John Mayer Trio - I Got a Woman (originally Ray Charles)
Dropkick Murphys - Finnegan's Wake (traditional)
Life is a Highway - Rascal Flatts (originally Tom Cochrane)

And a whole bunch of things by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, since all they do is covers.

7/1/2008 12:45:13 AM

Another vote for any of Type O negatives' covers. They are so cheesy/awesome.


Blue man group does a really cool cover of "baba O'Reilly"

Jimi Hendrix' cover of "all along the watchtower"

Reverend Horton heat "Folsom prison blues"

Reel big fish "Take on me"

7/1/2008 11:29:14 AM

Good lord people...Most of you have a twisted sense of what's "old."

They call it 80's music for a reason.

7/1/2008 12:20:20 PM

i cant wait for 90's music to be remade

by the way did anyone mention P ditty's remake of "I'll be watching you"
