Bud the Baker Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Posted February 11, 2011 Just finished watching a Roxy Music concert from the early '80's - one of the highlights was a cover version of Like a Hurricane. Now although Roxy wrote a lotta great tunes I reckon they must be one of the best bands at doing cover versions. They bring their distinct signature to the tunes they cover yet still manage to pay homage to the original artist. Quote

They do a shit hot version of that song & Phil Manzanera fair gives it some good guitar abuse. Reckon you're correct as well; their take on Jealous Guy is one of my all time favourite cover versions and is much better than the original, as far as I'm concerned. Quote

St. Sid Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Was watching the old poll tax riots footage and this track by the genius of Julian Cope was used, sadly there was documentary chatter through the poll tax one though: Quote

St. Sid Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Adele - 21, simply fcuking superb. Is she the ugly fat burd, if so then she is certainly the shining light amonst the mockneys. And I definitely wid. And does a great song very much on topic: Edited February 20, 2011 by St. Sid Quote

Gordon Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 This week its been he King Of Limbs by Radiohead which has grown on me after quite a few listens, a couple of early Van Morrison classsics, The Story Of Them plus T.B. Sheets - great blues from the grumpy genius. Anna Calvi's debut and The Mummers e.p. are also worth a listen. Quote
Gordon Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Elton John, get's better and better. Is that The Union with Leon Russell? I thought that looked promising. Quote

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Was watching the old poll tax riots footage and this track by the genius of Julian Cope was used, sadly there was documentary chatter through the poll tax one though: One of Saint Julian's finest, in my humble opinion. Adele - 21, simply fcuking superb. From what I've heard of it you're not wrong. Elton John, get's better and better. Have to disagree, mate; he started tailing off round about the 80s..... Quote
