Covered by: Covered by: There are other covers, but these two are the best IMO. |
Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. |

I remember when that single came out and my cousin bought it, but didn't open it. He felt it would be worth major money in the future, if it was unopened. I laughed at him (at the age of 13) and asked him why it would be valuable when it sold over 5 million copies in the first week. He didn't have an answer. It went on to sell over 33 million copies of the single. I hope he doesn't still think it's worth something, considering it's going for less on Ebay now, than what it was purchased for 13 years ago.

Can't believe someone hasn't suggested 311's cover of love song. As much as I love the Cure, I think I like 311's version better. There aren't many cover songs I'll say that about... mainly because I'm a fascist.

What does fascism have to do with cover songs?

For someone that seems to be such a music snob that is a really shitty suggestion.
------------------ Not necessarily a cover, but a friend recently enlightened me as to the history of the classic Verve tune 'Bittersweet Symphony', which got them sued. |

Fruit, the number of bands who have tried to cover Queen and failed is endless and embarrassing. I thought someone finally did one justice. Closest cover I've seen work for the full Bohemian Rhapsody was Pink (I might have posted this already)
