Controversial. Sorry to be pedantic but.....


Roxy Music - If There Is Something

Is NOT a cover. According to various websites its written by Bryan Ferry. (Who was one of the band)

Also


Patti Smith - Because The Night

She didn't write the song (possibly co-wrote it) but did release the original recorded version. Which again means its NOT a cover.

Also

Run DMC - Walk This way

Not strictly a cover version either as the version released is a collaboration with the band that originally wrote & recorded the song.

You are correct on the Roxy Music track, it's not a cover, should not have been a valid nomination.

Because the night was entered as the Bruce Springsteen version, list above has been updated.

Walk this way is a valid cover by Run DMC and 2 members of the band who originally recorded it.

Thanks for the clarifications. Wouldn't have made any difference to final outcome anyway


Keep up the good work.

Nirvana The Man Who Sold The World

It's not the greatest cover ever but Hurt isn't a very good song and Cash adds nothing to it. I don't understand the fuss.

Ok, three options here:
- this is clearly a wind up
- this person has never heard both versions of the song
- this person doesn't know much about music (that's about as polite as I can think of putting it!)


FYI, even though I voted for Hurt I am happy with the winner - a great song and great cover!

Kurt and Johnny looking down, smiling, imagine a duet now that would be epic

Could this be the theme of the next Music game ?

Kenny & Dolly - Islands in the stream
Bradley & Gaga - Shallows


maybe allow band mash-ups and featured artists too

So

Run DMC (featuring Aerosmith) - Walk This Way

could again feature as well as stuff like



Robin Thicke featuring T.I., Pharrell - Blurred Lines

:rolleyes: ??
