And I’m not saying that the original is bad. You have to have a good song to have a good cover in my opinion. But sometimes the cover artist just understands the mission and takes what the original song did and expands on that a hundred times over.
What’re some of your guys’s favorites?
Elbow’s cover of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Mercy Street’
MC 900 Ft Jesus’ cover of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Stare And Stare’
Gypsy Kings’ Spanish cover of Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’
Elbow are so good!
