RED4LIFE Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have just had the misfortune of hearing Beverley 'Bloody' Knight singing Take Another Piece Of My Heart.Why why why, do people insist on butchering great old songs? Its not as if its karaoke, they actually expect you to pay them for their efforts!!The list of really crap cover versions (Take Thats Light My Fire being a prime example-sorry Dolls) is far too big, and the list of good covers (Futureheads Hounds of Love) is far too small.Does anybody agree, and if so, whats the worst and best of em, in your opinnion.Sorry for ranting on a monday morning, but thats what they are there for!!Best cover-All Along The Watchtower- Jimmy Hendrix (originally Bob Dylan)Worst cover-Robson and Jerome-Youve Lost That Loving Feeling ( originally Righteous Brothers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Knicking somebody elses song and crucifying it is a complete disgrace. If you haven't got enough talent to write your own song then that's your problem. Have people no shame?That ****ing idiot who did 'Light My Fire' made my blood boil.
