      Favourite Covers..

      On a UK radio phone-in the other day, they were having a discussion about cover versions of famous songs. The school of thought in the studio was generally that bands/singers should not cover songs, because they always fail to live up to the standard of the original song. This got me thinking, and I came to the conclusion that they were wrong.. that there were some exceptions to this "rule". So.. in no particular order, here are three covers that I rate just as much as the originals:

      Aretha Franklin "Bridge over Troubled Water" (Simon & Garfunkel);

      Jeff Beck " 'Cause we've ended as lovers" (Stevie Wonder);

      Richie Havens "Here comes the Sun" (Beatles).

      Anyone out there agree/disagree? Should cover versions even exist? Anyone else got any favourites?

      "Down With The Sickness", Disturbed -> Richard Cheese

      Or "Darling Nikki", Prince -> Foo Fighters
      I am posting on topic elsewhere for the most part.

      My DJ here at DVs, Realized Aspiration only contains old dreams. I'll be around for the occasional chat, and some unfinished/unstarted RPs.

      And you, yeah you, with the ice cream hands. You, yeah you, are my friend. ~ Still my mentor, and an awesome guy.
