I'm guessing this one has already been posted, but just in case.

This one is close, but not quite:
Dont know if it's better just different and great in its own way

I know lots of people like it, but ugh, it’s horrible. I wish Simon and Garfunkel were violent people and punished those assholes for ruining their song.Quote:

I'm with KQ, that version is great.
Duke Ellington wrote what became a standard in 1935:
He reinvented himself and the song in 1953:
Then teamed up with Ella to created a brilliant vocal version in 1957:
and finally teamed up with Coltrane to create the best version 1962 (the new piano riff that opens the song is as good as it gets in any genre):
Here's my favorite version:

I love Paul Simon but this is pretty cool

Better? Arguable. Does the song justice with his own spin and style? Absolutely.
T-Pain.
War Pigs.
Who knew?
^^^^^^^^
They covered "Eulogy" by Tool last week, was super cool (but no video of it, yet).
^^^now that will be interesting to hear
In the meantime
And.
A standard folk ballad written by Richard Thompson
It’s been covered a bunch, always with the melodic folksy bluegrassy vibe of the original
Until Sean Rowe does it with feeling
That duct tape on his guitar covers cracks from his strumming
That's a great cover. I think he captures what the song is about, it's not a folksy bluegrass tune (though that is how it is covered).
Really highlights how fucking incredible RT is as a guitarist, it's the fingerpicking that makes the original seem folksy. But nobody can match RT's playing (not a criticism of the fine playing by Mr. Rowe above).
^^^yeah somebody described Rowe’s style as “raw and dirty” - in a good way.
I have to agree - he harnesses that raw grit of a born-to-lose boy and bad girl
I’ve heard RT do this live - agreed his finger picking is amazing and his lyrics like this and say “Dads gonna kill me” brings out the emotion, but it’s a calmer kind of rage… it’s that Fairport Convention background I guess

i dont think either cover is better, but i like both covers just fine.
Maybe? Posted in the other song thread a couple of weeks ago, realized I (maybe) should have posted it here.

Im crushing on the lead singer here, while we’re crushing on people. Reminds me of a young Sarah Maclachlan.Quote:

Definitely an improvement.

Taylor Swift meets drum and bass. Much better, but I love Pendulum
Country music song of the year
That cover is a fucking travesty, although I’m glad it generated more money and kudos for Tracy. But as the cover, that one annoys the fuck out of me. The original is all I want to hear
