[skut]

Two songs (covered) by Nina Simone: "Where does the time go" and "Ne me quitte a pas"

 

[Maverick Goose]

Nick Drake-'Road'-reminds me of walking by Buttermere on a moonlit winter night (also 'Northern Sky' as well).

I wonder how many people think that's actually one of his song's and not a cover

A friend of mine wouldn't believe me even when I showed him the release date of the original, doh

Nobody believes me that Jose Gonsalez's song: 'heartbeats' (you know the one off that advert?) was originally a stonking electro song by The Knife. In this case, as pleasant as the cover is, the original is so much better.

If we're going covers then the Ryan Adams cover of Wonderwall, off Love Hurts, far outshadows the original and actually sounds like it's got some emotion to it.

If not, then I love the first track off Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (which I have forgotten the name of completely, and can't be arsed to look it up). The way that song fits together reminds me of how much I love jazz.
Or, the song: 'The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is out to get us!' off the Sufjan Stevens album: 'Come on feel the Illinoise!' is song writing at its best, particularly lyrics wise. For some reason I find the line: 'we swaggered and swayed' crushing.

oo ooh, the list goes on ..Richie Havens....Motherless Child.

Woodstock ? cant remember.

 

[SamNichols]

Oh yes, and the song: 'Kids' by Lou Reed. Anyone who has heard it will know what I mean. Anyone who hasn't heard it, then hear it and weep as it comes to a climax. It's the most disturbing thing that I've ever heard.

I saw Husker Du once. The only memories I have of it are of the support band, The Shock Haired Peters, all jumping into the audience to beat someone up who threw a bottle at them.

A tender sixth form student, I thought that the fat violent singer of Husker Du would be more inclined to violence that someone called peter

I saw Husker Du in London in 85/86. Very Loud. Very Good. Still got all their studio albums, one live album and a 7" single of them covering "Eight Miles High"!
