Although I actually like this cover, I can see how some people would find it like sacrilege.

Maybe these don’t sound so weird if you are American

I like this far more that the Smiths version.

Agree it was crap but it was for a seattle in utero covers project wasnt it?

sounds about right, didn’t ever check out the rest of it though. I’ll forgive them if it was for a good cause!
Wonder what steve snere is up to these days, might google it in a bit

Was in a band called crypts but it was pretty crap. Just him and a guy on a laptop last I saw.

ah yeah, I do vaguely remember listening to a couple of tracks of theirs and not being particularly impressed now you mention it. That was a little while ago though, doesn’t look like he’s done anything since either

To Biffy’s credit, that cover does at least attempt to do something different with the song.

On the downside though, it just sucks all of the power pop joy out of it.

Cat Power - everything on the Jukebox album. In contrast to The Covers Record which is great.

This cover is hot fire, so angry at this take

I mean it has no particular reason to exist but that’s true of almost everything

#31

Oh god yeah, seeing her touring that album was hard work even by Cat Power gig standards

Going on record again as stating that their first two albums are all-time top ten worthy, the third album is very good, and their fourth album is a classic as well. They’re way, way, way better than that cover and than their reputation would indicate.

Those three Meat Puppets and the Sunbeam one off MTV Unplugged. WTAF Kurt, every song you wrote is better than these four.

The Lead Belly cover is outstanding and the Bowie one is decent, although if we’re honest I’d never take it over the original.
