Covers

Post by Tsi » Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:38 pm

Not to be confused with skalpels thread <whistle>

Simple really,put a cover up(song - for the snap generation),put the original up and put a dire one up as well and we'll rate what is the best version.try not to just find a complete crap version but a version others say is good but one you don't rate.

I'll start it rolling

The Original

<gold> <gold> <gold> <gold> <grey>

The Good Cover (imo)

[youtube]ckbdLVX736U[/youtube]
John Cale was the first one to change the arrangement and is responsible for almost every version since(in the sense of the arrangement).This version is the only version Leonard Cohen has commented on and said is his favourite.This is a later recording from 1992.
<gold> <gold> <gold> <gold> <gold>
The Bad (imo)

[youtube]y8AWFf7EAc4[/youtube]

Controversial but the reason this version fucks me off is he's normally accredited for this arrangement when in fact it was the version above.So f*** you Jeff for a terrible version <gent>

<gold> <gold> <grey> <grey> <grey>

I love leonards version but for me the John Cale version is the best <ok>

Apologies, I figured it was obvious who the original was, and this cover is pretty much mediocre so that eliminated the need for a bad and a good <whistle>. I'll edit the original in.

might be trying to complicate it too much just thought it was a good idea to put 3 versions up and see what people thought was the best version. <diva>

Secret: Why do you not like Jeff Buckley's version just because of other people's mistakes? Buckley himself always said that is was a cover of Cale's cover, not his fault other people are idiots.

Yeah same. If I could give 3/4 stars then the original would have 4 3/4 but I don't think it's 5* worthy so I just left them as that <ok>

Also, the original version of Hallelujah is just awful. Jeff Buckleys interpretation of John Cales arrangement is much better (in my opinion <roll> )
