Covers
Not to be confused with skalpels thread
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

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.
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
I love leonards version but for me the John Cale version is the best

Also at slamming Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, worst track on Grace.

Since MTLE just asked about this in another thread, I'll post it here.
Re: Covers
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 . I'll edit the original in.The Secret Ingredient wrote:where's the original and a crap coverskalpel wrote:[youtube]HXBamm5XqO8[/youtube]

Re: Covers
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.skalpel wrote: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 .

Re: Covers
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.

Re: Covers
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 thatThe Secret Ingredient wrote:pretty much agree but for me the original is the bestLivin' Davide Loca wrote:Original

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