Wilbur Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Mick Ronson: Love me Tender................. 236995[/snapback] Great shout Bongo, haven't heard it for years. Slaughter on 12th Avenue is a classic album. There are also so many excellent covers of Prince's material by Sinead O'Connor, Chaka Khan, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin M Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 5 that spring to mind: Gillian Welch - Black Star The Futureheads - Hounds Of Love Aretha Franklin - Let it Be Tricky - Black Steel The winner though is Rebekah Del Rio singing Llorando, a Spanish version of Roy Orbison's Crying. It's from the soundtrack to the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive and is absolutely stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jam - Disguises (classic Townshend) Shed 7 - Wired For Sound (how to make a shit song sound good) Ian Brown - Billie Jean (how to make another shit song sound good) Galaxie 500 - Ceremony (eerie and haunting as f**k) Johnny Cash - Hurt (feel the emotion coming out of the speakers. Cash sounds as if he knows exactly what he's talking about!) That good enough for you...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
