Wyatt Earp Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Good night folks, from the Herbie Hancock project with Pink and John Legend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQxSFG-ahk
eddy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Good night folks, from the Herbie Hancock project with Pink and John Legend. Thank you. That was beautiful. Wyatt Earp 1
Lou Zealand Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Way before World Music David Byrne had soul... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ar2VHW1i2w Edited November 24, 2014 by Lou Zealand
eddy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 No Googling........guesses to the most covered song of all time.....and I'll give you a clue..its from the 60's and comes off an album that has been rated in the top 5 greatest album of all timeEleanor Rigby
eddy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Way before World Music David Byrne had soul... Still one of the best HTFU tunes to get stuck in my head when hitting a long ride..... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0
Stretch Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Eleanor RigbyWell done....did you cheat? Lol
Lurch the stalker Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Disturbed's version of Land Of Confusion is much better than the original by Genesis (and the video is way cooler too, the puppets in the Genesis one are just creepy...) Disturbed: Genesis:
eddy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Well done....did you cheat? LolNope, unless spending an entire life acquiring useless information is considered cheating....... Stretch and Andrew Steer 2

Shebeen Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 which is the wrong answer......oh really pythagoras? Look I back myself to remember the answers to pub quizzes because they repeat questions and I have a poor man's photographic memory for mundane 5h1t. So you force me to turn to google, or our slightly more credible friend, wikipedia. BOOMhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cover_versions_of_Beatles_songsI think we can all agree that this is as credible a source as we're going to get. Eleanor Rigby - 50 versionsYesterday - 54 versions. It is so covered, even the king of coverees has done a version (I'm talking about Robert Zimmerman). but it was close, I'll let you off the hook here.
Lou Zealand Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Eleanor Rigby Well done....did you cheat? Lol Nope, unless spending an entire life acquiring useless information is considered cheating....... I'm going to side with Shebeen on this one. Yesterday has surely been covered by more artists than Eleanor Rigby. Sketch, what was your source? Agreed, Revolver was a better album than Help! but I have seen estimates of Yesterday being covered by thousands to millions of artists... to quote Eleanor Rigby "no one comes near"

Closer than the internet reference I found: Eleanor Rigby: 131 versionsYesterday: 3000+ http://mentalfloss.com/article/20811/quick-10-10-most-covered-songs-ever

Stretch Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) This http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=most+covered+songs+of+all+time takes you to this http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/the-10-most-covered-songs-1052165.html although some other sources say yesterday - so it may very well depend on the method of counting what defines a valid cover version so the two most covered songs of all time are yesterday and Elanor rigby Happy mr calculus?
