Billy’s cover of To Love Somebody by the Bee Gees, featuring Robert Smith. Love how he’s turned it into a sad electro-shoegaze song.
Dylan’s songwriting is often 10/10 but a lot of The Byrds’ covers are better than his originals for me.
If only for the bit spent naming Rolling Stones members
Sublime’s cover of Bad Religion’s We’re Only Gonna Die. Love how it sets the song up and gets progressively faster and more intense and explosive. Incredible cover and pretty much the embodiment of why I love them so much.
Both versions are far superior to the original
Le Pet Shop Boysoi
No repeated posts so not a oi moment
added bonus of a better music video too
This is the original isn’t it ?
Kind of. Carole King wrote it, then The Shirelles recorded it but then CK’s version is on Tapestry but that was 10 years later, but she did write it so in summary:
The definitive Heard It Through the Grapevine is this one.
