Shane_B. Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I could give you a dozen or more examples but I don't think anyone likes the music I'm in to anymore. A lot of stuff from the 50's were remakes of old show tunes from the 30's and 40's. Gordon Lightfoot's version of Me And Bobby McGee is still my favorite. I can't stand Janis Joplin's voice. That said, the original of Bobby McGee was done by Roger Miller. Here's Gord's version. Here's the original version. IIRC it came out the same year as Joplin's but her version blew his off the charts. IIRC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I really like this cover of ELP's Bitches Crystal by Panic Room (one of my favourite bands.) I am not saying its better, but its very different Anne-Marie Helders vocals and Jonathan Edwards jazzy rhodes make it a really unique cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Eva Cassidy - her version of Fields of Gold - completely blew me away when I heard it. Still gives me chills. What a voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The original. The rather weak studio cover. The absolutely kick-butt live cover! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargg Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This is I have to say the best cover I've heard. It gives me goosebumps. But then again, we're all different in our own special way 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
