Cover versions better than the originals 20:36 - May 1 with 18862 viewsDr_Winston

I'll start you off with a couple.




Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I love the whole Carole King/James Taylor tooing and froing. Seen JT twice, and had his autograph twice too. Treasured possessions.

I have to disagree with your first pick. Whitney is fantastic and her version is fantastic, but to hear Dolly doing it is just magical.

Oh come on Lisa, that sheer power and control! That's the joy of music eh - someone was saying they preferred The Coors to Phil Lynott's Old Town - nice - but I preferred his. Funny, when I was in school (Tom Brown etc) my mate used to argue his Abba were better than my Beatles. Over the years although I still didn't agree, I saw his viewpoint. There is no "better" of course.

Have you watched the Carole King musical? We went to Ceeerdifff - I thought it was OK, but no mention of JT, which I though odd. I missed the Hyde Park Tapestry concert - small matter of a 30th anniversary in Italy - gutting! I did try and persuade wifey to have the gig in France - no chance. Mind you, gave me the chance to be the only Welshman (in a early 90's Welsh shirt) in a Sorrento Irish bar watching that Robson-Kanu turn.

Not even UFO live version?! Schenker once wrote down the chords for Lights Out for me (couldn't afford the sheet music back in the day) - reading 1980 I think. He wasn't playing, but he was backstage - we snook in.

I’m with Lisa on this one.

Great range and power but, incredibly for someone with her family connections (Cissy & Thelma Houston, Judy Clay, Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick), I thought she was pretty soulless.

I agree with this.

I love her music, and The Bodyguard is a film I can watch over and over!

But for me, the song as done by Dolly, has a sense of regret, loss and sadness that Whitney doesn’t get near. I’m sure Dolly doesn’t mind anyone preferring Whitney - she said it paid for her new house,

Not seen the Carole King musical although I’ve a friend who played in the band for it in the London run for a bit.

I’m with your mate on the ABBA / Beatles contest btw...

Desperately unhappy by all accounts.

Very sad.

This has been wrecked by cowell and his Shithead acolytes, but for me, none better than this.

It's one of the few songs Maiden did with Blaze Bayley that sounded "right". As if he fitted there. I have a fondness for it for that reason.

I quite like this other cover of Step On that came out only a couple of years before the Happy Monday's version.

”... has a sense of regret, loss and sadness.

Your comment there has just held open a door to what I think is one of the best cover versions I’ve ever heard. This is simply flawless and coveys everything I think Hank Williams must have been feeling when he wrote it.

Perfection.


An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Not sure if this has been posted already. I didn't realise it was a cover, it's so iconic.

Well, I did not have a problem with Houston singing it. Coat on.
