The Music Fans Thread

[chas]

Kinda kicking off from @Old Nick 's Buffalo Springfield I mentally had a swipe through the mental back catologue of that era then tangented. I was going to segue to the Dylan (original, for the uneducated in The Great Man's Work) version but I bloody love this cover

So, if you want to follow this lead, covers that are equal to or eclipse the original........

No problem @DD67 your admiration for current popular music is to be comended but does not sit well with some of us with more aquired tastes,
But you enjoy what you like mate "Why" I bet you even shangalanged with this lot in the day

Look at the feckin state of those female fans!
I always thought that being a rock star would = a shag fest.
Just goes to prove that you've gotta be careful what you wish for!

I'd want @MartytheMartian & 11 more of his equally large neanderthal mates. To escort me to my limo after every gig

Beating them off with a shitty stick takes on an entirely new meaning. I reckon the shitty stick would file a formal complaint

 

[chas]

I'll bung another one in so the hard of thinking get the gist...

This is better than the Joni Mitchell orig. (Ihmo,obv)

A couple spring to mind albeit not quite as cerebral as Dylan, Gloria Jones original was massive on the Northern Soul scene but the Soft Cell version is such a reference point for me it eclipses the original:

Erm... Soft Cell eh
Tell me some more about Robbie Williams being a icon for the shirt lifters Nick

 

[Old Nick]

And originally by The Bobby Fuller Four - the Clash smacked it out of the park

I love both versions, Me and the kids got into David Simons' (Baltimore life on the streets, The Wire, Treme) Generation Kill series that featured the Soft Cell version on the soundtrack. The rule now is whenever you hear it, you *have* to do the handclap.

Huge difference mate - Robbie is was a gay icon, Mark Almond was hard core gay - stomach pump of a pint of semen
The guy deserves a medal

Aparra that urban myth shows your age as to the Cleb that it's attributed to. If you're a tad older than us it's Rod Stewart/ Mick Jagger. I think it goes back as far as Sinatra?

Robert Johnson can fuck off and go home

Interestingly I used to work with his uncle, and he never denied it

My absence from this conversation for 5 mins is cos I was Googling that very subject.
As Chas said, it's boll#cks (not the contents of) & has been attributed to dozens of celebs over the years.
Inc Britney Spears. One guy was saying that was definitely true & she had his dick hooked up to a milking machine

He still deserves a medal

And did it really take 5 minutes on google

It only took that long cos of all the posts I had to trawl through. Most were from some bloke called Nick. He was claiming to have sat on Marc Almonds uncles knee & played spank the poorly snake until it was sick.
Very strange, but it was the 1980's

 

[Old Nick]

Originally by Big Mama Thornton but totally eclipsed by the King:

 

[Old Nick]

@chas We need more boundaries on this game, there’s dozens of covers better then the originals

 

[MartytheMartian]

Well this phillistine is currently enjoying listening to the virtuoso brilliance of Bix Beiderbecke with his Wolverines. Almost a hundred years old but still brilliant.

It sounds like you'd been eating those mushrooms that grow on your shed again!

The original is by Deep Purple, and I like that. But I absolutely love this cover by Richie Sambora. I thought he was just the "pretty boy guitarist" wi Bon Jovi, but when I heard this, I started listening to his other stuff, and he went up massively in my estimation.
