    Al green
    David Bowie
    Simple minds
    I will have to think a bit longer on the other I am betwixed and between on the options

    Lis Sorensen - Braendt (Torn) Vs Al Green - Take Me to the River. I actually prefer Talking Head’s version (the studio version, not the live version), but the original is still good and beats the other song.

    Dale Hawkins - Susie-Q Vs Skids - The Saints Are Coming. Tough one – both are great original versions. I will have to go for the punky energy in the end. The lead guitarist was none other than future Big Country front man Stuart Adamson.

    Keith Whitley - When You Say Nothing at All Vs David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World

    Linda Clifford - All the Man I Need Vs Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me. This is another song that I have never heard before (any version). It’s alright and it beats one of Simple Minds more annoying songs.

    Who covered All the Man I Need?

    lol..was checking out who covered the rolling stones..apart from every covers band... came across no less Otis Redding.and his version was termed anarchic in the press! Susposedly he said he changed words as sure he didnt know them anyway...haha

    I prefer his version to the original, has a great energy and groove to it, esp live. :cool:


    Al Green - Take Me to the River ...one smooth cat :cool:
    Dale Hawkins - Susie-Q
    David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
    Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

    Somebody said on another thread that Natalie I stole the Torn song off that Lis S lady. Did she really rip it off and not credit your one as the writer?

    Al Green - Take Me to the River
    Skids - The Saints Are Coming
    Keith Whitley - When You Say Nothing at All (Ronan and his voice really do justice to the cover from Nothing Hill, even Julia Roberts is a fan)
    Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

    Al Green - Take Me to the River - I didn't even know that Torn was a cover, nice original but will vote for Al Green, I think I nominated it or was the last one I eliminated

    Dale Hawkins - Susie-Q

    David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World

    Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me - Never heard of Linda Clifford's version and it's quite nice but Don't You is iconic (though none of the covers came even close)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,157 ✭✭✭Irish Aris

    Whitney Houston in the Bodyguard soundtrack

    People were talking about covers of The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction.

    This is the cover that I am most familiar with (by Devo):

    Creedence Clearwater Revival?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,603 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Same please.
    I wonder who covered Simple Man and Boys of Summer?

    I nominated Boys Of Summer despite preferring the cover by The Ataris way more



    Perhaps not to everyone's taste



    Also nominated Simple Man from Shinedowns cover. Another song I much prefer the cover! A recurring theme!

    They have some other cracking songs as well if you like that genre. I'm nervous recommending them as my mates slate my taste in music

    That isn't terrible. Original is still better x 1000. A stone cold classic.

    I had a listen with some trepidation, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good cover, although I would prefer the original by Don Henley.

    I'm sure most if not all would agree with you too. I do like the original as wouldn't have nominated otherwise but not as much

    Quite a faithful cover. Your man even sounds like Henley. I noticed though that the old dead-head sticker on the Cadillac has had a Black Flag one stuck over it. ;)

    edit: proper order I meant to say as TGD were crap.

    This contest is an eye opener for me. Lots of well known songs that I always just assumed were the original versions, but not so.


    Bonnie Tyler - The Best

    Wilbert Harrison - Let's Work Together Vs The Crickets - I Fought The Law. I thought the original versions were by Canned Heat and The Booby Fuller Four, respectively, only to discover they went back further! Tough to choose between as well.
