Chindie Posted November 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2020 The cover of Heroes from the game series Rock Band is absolutely horrific. In most cases the games managed to get the masters of songs, or at least an official recording (even if sometimes it's a live version). But there's a few where they ended up having to put in covers done by jobbing musicians. And this... **** hell. It's appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea per say but appreciate that it isn't just a carbon copy or complete s***. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 And in recompense for that, here's an absolutely blistering Aphex Twin cover that popped onto my radar this week.

hogso Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I just posted about two of these artists in the AOTY 2020 thread, which reminded me that I really love covers of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak (even the infamous Mr Bungle live mash up with sex and violence) . So here's three What a track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 30, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2020 Dear Spotify, I never wish to discover anything this shit ever again If you're going to cover this song, it really needs more bite than the original not a whole back of sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 10, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 10, 2020 Listening to 6 Music and one of Gid Coe's sessions from the BBC Archives tonight is this legendary Peel Session from 1988 by Sonic Youth An album, Daydream Nation I think was about to come out and the Youth were booked in for a Peel Session, do they do the obvious thing and showcase their new material (a fantastic album in its own right), nope they go in and record a session comprising of three covers of songs written by The Fall and a cover of The Fall covering The Kinks. Sonic Youth paying tribute to both The Fall and Peel himself (as The Fall was his favourite band) Sonic Youth play My New House, Rowche Rumble, Psycho Maffia and Victoria. Quite magical for me being a fan of both bands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
