How can we disappoint Tim W?

Here's Jeff Buckley's cover version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

Joan Baez singing Bob Dylan's Farewell Angelina.

and again with Bob Dylan's It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.

Heard this first from Neil Diamond and then went to listen to the Joni Mitchell original. Safe to say that the cover is miles better.

Neil Diamond better than Joni Mitchell??? Not safe to say at all - in fact, extremely dangerous to say! Go and wash your mouth out, BB!!

:huh:

Nothing to do with me, moi - I wouldn't rate Neil Diamond better than The Chipmunks :)

I grovel apologies - I can only attribute my stupidity to that age thing my children keep accusing me of! Indeed, I now see it was Ethicalstrategy who committed the offence against decent taste. And with a word like "ethical" in his name too!

:P since there's not a smilie of a little old lady looking ashamed of herself, I shall beat myself about the head with my rolling pin.

Well if you are still young enough to have 'children', you can't be that old girl!

They are ALWAYS your children, Mod! When I am 90 and they are respectively 64, 62 and 60, they will still be my children!

As you can tell, I like a bit of Rodney....heres his version of a Cat stevens original

And there must be loads of great Dylan covers out there (Rod done a few) but this from Peter Paul and Mary was good in it's day

Is this turning into a "Let's wind up moi" thread? Rod Stewart ruining a Cat Stevens song?? What'll you be offering us next? The aptly named William SHATner singing Dylan?

Disagree on that, the studio version by Rod was quality

I could do better than that and I look less like a horse!

If you could do better than that, I suggest you give up your day job pronto!

Can't see what her physical beauty or lack of it have to do with her singing talent. The equivalent of what you're saying is for a talented footballer to be denigrated for not being handsome.

You are quite right. Her physical appearance is irrelevant, I was just being mean. Sorry.

As far as the song goes, however, I maintain that her version is hideous.

I give you Christy Moore's version of Fairy Tale of New York, because Shane McGowan is so ugly you couldn't possibly want to listen to his (though in fact it is the greatest version!)

Actually, having listened to the version you posted, it's not the best one of Joni.

There should be laws against the publication of crap like that! I knew he'd done a version of it but I'd never heard it. In my wildest nightmares I wouldn't have imagined that!

Has Mr Spock released any records?
