Song remakes.

[K-Shong99]

Me and my friends got in a discussion today about songs that have been redone by new bands.
For example:
Surrender has been done by both Cheap Trick and Less Than Jake.

Well...
I was getting yelled at because I think the New Found Glory version of Kiss Me is better than the old one.
But whatever.

Soo...
What are some other reamkes or covers that you either like or dislike?
Just wondering.

I like:

Bold As Love, covered by John Mayer (But I like the original by Jimi Hendrix just as much)

I'll add more later xD
My brain isn't working.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Downtown has been remade a lot, I hate all of them. And Daydream Believer, yuck.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Big Yellow Taxi. I prefer the remake. I HATE THE ORIGINAL. Mainly because the person who sings the original, has the most annoying voice I've ever heard. That'd be Joni Mitchell. I prefer the Counting Crows version

 

[ohdisco]

My favorite cover EVER is I Love How You Love Me by Neutral Milk Hotel (Phil Spector cover). SUCH a good cover by a phenomenal band.
I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Amy Millan (Death Cab for Cutie cover)
Crazy In Love by Mickey Harte (Beyonce cover)
Overkill by Dashboard Confessional (Colin Hay cover)
Melt With You by Saves The Day (Modern English cover)

Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana was completely ruined when Evanescence remade it.
Any remake of a Beatles song I usually don't like. I hated Across the Universe, it seems people are finally starting to like the Beatles just because of some silly movie.

Across the Universe WAS BAD.
It was like the entire time they were filming it, they were on acid. If I had watched the entire thing (yes it was that bad, I had to turn it off), I probably would have had nightmares.
And no one can sing the Beatles and do better. You just can't.

I totally agree!
To enjoy the movie I swear you need to be tripping to enjoy that movie.

It was so horrendous. One of the worst movies ever. I'm so glad I didn't pay to go to the movies to see it -.-


What A Wonderful World. I prefer the Michael Buble version.

 

[AngienLuLu]

Same Girl REMIX.
by R Kelly, Usher, and some other guy.

Hey There Delilah REMIX.
by some people i dont know.

 

[dancergirlsasha]

I like With a little help from my friends by Joe Cocker better than The Beatles version.

I also like Joe Cocker's version of Feelin' Alright better than Traffic's.


I loved Across the Universe . I didn't like many of the remakes in that, but I loved T.V. Carpio's version of I want to hold your hand.

Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen and later Breaking Benjamin.

 

[Pirate Me]

Ohhhhh!

Let Go is originally from a movie. It's sung by Frou Frou [?] However, I don't like this one at all..it's very...soft, kind of techno-y.
I LOVE the Let Go by Boys Like Girls; it's actually my favorite song.

AMEN.

Seriously, you cant do a Queen song. Even if you are a popular band.


Queen is uh-mazing.
Listen to the original version of "WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER" (and wile youre at it, listen to the rest of their stuff)

Chances are, You will see what we mean,
Unless your eardrums are already busted, you poor thing

 

[llama62]

Eh, I like the Breaking Benjamin version more... and so do many other people

And you can do a queen song if your BB...

 

[Babyjustrun]

Breaking Benjamin scares me a bit.
I don't mind their music... I find it catchy (Which is weird..) but .. the actual lyrics scare me.

The lyrics are the main part of why I like them.
