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

[Gen]

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

Nope.. no one should ever try cover any pink Floyd songs.. ever.. never ever ever.[emoji6]

 

 

I feel that way about The Doors too.. just best left the way it was supposed to sound [emoji12]

Going to be hard to beat the original, but for a live version, right up there

I always maintain that anyone can cover Joni Mitchel and it will be better than Mitchell herself, but Chan is just in a class of her own.

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.

 

They apparently did this separately in the studios and then they put it together, I could be wrong, but I think I am right

[Hairy]

Juliet Simms does "Roxanne" .... I really enjoyed her sound and attitude doing the "Voice"

separate studio's except Freddie Mercury was listening in on what David Bowie was doing ...so he cheated a bit

[Hairy]
