slothrop Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Damn, that's too bad. SG even plays Johnny Cash or Michael Jackson's "Thriller" now and then. The entire Slayer album they played the other day (or whatever that screaming devil music was) got old, though. Don't get me wrong -- I'm down with a little Swedish death metal now and then, but variety is important. Quote

Off_White Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 "Take Me Home, Country Roads", some punk/ska band (John Denver) Â Ya, mebbe, but the venerable Toots & the Maytals done it first. Â That band is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Quote
Alpine_Tom Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Â Pat Boone covering Deep Purple and Ozzy Osbourne does suck. A lot. Â I always assumed that Pat Boone metal album was a joke, like those "Golden Throats" songs (like Shatner doing "Lucy in the Sky") So it seems to miss the point to critisize them -- the joke is that they're SUPPOSED to suck. I'm trying to get my mind around the idea that "In a Metal Mood" was supposed to be a serious effort, but I just can't. Â There is a cd called "Lounge against the Machine" that's lounge versions of contemporary pop/rock songs (like Fight for your Right" and "Bullet the Blue Sky") that my daughter thought was pretty amusing.

Off_White Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 While we're on the subject of the Cardigans, how about their version of Burning Down The House with Tom Jones on vocals? Quote
fern Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Johnny Cash's 'Rusty Cage' and 'I Won't Back Down'  I have been listening to Johnny Cash American IV: The Man Comes Around today  A pathetic cavalcade of assy covers. Depeche Mode wha??? poor old man Quote
PullinFool Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Pink Martini's version of "Perhaps" by Cake Quote
nonanon Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 It took me forever but I’ve finally decided that Joe Cocker didn’t suck. Those spazzed stage mannerisms put me off for a long time, but now I’m inclined to think he was some kind of interpretive cover genius. Help w/ my Friends in 3/4 time, The Letter as a shuffle, he played Feelin’ Alright pretty straight but it’s still the better version, imo. The list goes on. Quote
allthumbs Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I'm down with Barney and Mary Kate & Ashley tunes. Quote

lemon Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 E-rock said: How about this one. Â Firehose, "Walkin' the Cow". Â But I don't know who did the original (have never even heard it) I just know that it's a cover. Â "Walkin' the Cow" is a Daniel Johnston tune. I like fIREHOSE's version better. Most of their covers are on the Totem Pole EP, which is awesome. Check out Mannequin (Wire), The Red and the Black (BOC) and Revolution Part II (Butthole Surfers, hope I don't fuck it up, Gibby!) Screeching Weasel's version of "I Fall to Pieces" (Patsy Cline) is pretty cool, too; Minor Threat's "Stepping Stone" is also rad. Quote
