Covers performed better than the original......

I'm not a Kate bush fan so maybe I'm biased.

But this ...

Uni, I happen to be quite a big Kate fan, and they play this version often on Mix, it is indeed brilliant .

Ok, so it's not a cover... but for those who've never heard it like this... you're welcome! 

I'm not saying there's no good music made these days.... 

but there's not much , if any, that can compare with these two....this just highlights their boundless talent.

on a totally different track, the genius of Lonesome Dave Ferguson never quite can be captured by recording it. He's bekfluitjied his way into some classic tracks.\ with his one man band looping machine

 

 

go see him live when he's in town.(based overseas mainly now)

Flipped brilliant, I will track him I would love to see him live

Lots of songs recognized as originals are covers

House of the rising sun - many versions before the Animals made it their own.

Always on my mind - Elvis Presley ( Willie Nelson also covered it well)

Love Jimmy Hendrix`s version of `all along the watchtower` more than Bob`s

Don`t cry for me Argentina , Covered by Sinead o`Connor ( she did many fantastic covers on the album `Am I not your girl?)

Blue eyes cryin in the rain - Willie Nelson

..that do the original justice ... ;)

 

Doesn't work for me.

They seem to be trying too hard to make it their own and to takes away from the much less forceful manner that brings the message across with the original.

I think trying to cover pink Floyd you have to make it your own, otherwise as a replica you'd fail dismally.

Hahaaa. I think what you dislike about it is the twisted take the I like.

But I shall go listen to the original now to restore the status quo
