I think DLR stayed true to the original. The only real change is bringing the song up to 80's rock spec. Depending on my mood, I like both.
 
I love this song, both versions.

I refuse to choose between the two. Queen made an awesome song and NIN made an awesome cover.
 
i think you're confusing the small minority of young music fans who would join sites like these with the majority of listeners who couldn't give two craps what a bunch of elitists think so long as the tv told them it was cool.

if you took away the video for 'hurt' i'm positive the majority of non-country music fans under 30 wouldn't have noticed his passing beyond a headline on a magazine.
 
Another one that I can't decide on. I have no idea why I like Metallica punk covers as much as I do, but...

It wasn't the best song in the first place, but at least the original was original and fun. Krokus put a glam spin on it and made is one of the worst songs ever.
 
Yeah, I really hated that Oasis cover of I Am the Walrus.

Thats my problem with Oasis, they're really more of a disgrace to The Beatles than a tribute, they just water everything down.
 
^^

The Damned's version of this is awesome

And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
She's got great big tits
Great big tits
Great big tits

:D
 
That Motley Crue cover of Anarchy is hillariously bad.

And the Flinstones one is just. :laughing:

Oh and that Radiohead cover of The Headmaster Ritual is pretty ace, thats just might be my favorite Smiths song.
 
Her album Quixotic was in a local charity shop a couple of days ago but I was potless. Went back next day as I remerabered you mentioning her a while ago and the fecker had gone :(



You are a troubador Ethan! I can see that Smith's version is more intimate but I think the upbeat edge of the original aligns itself with the lyrics better.
 
Bohemian Rhapsody.

Queen

Montserrat Caballe and Bruce Dickinson

I really have nothing to say about this one. Its a matter of watching it yourself and making an opinion.
