Just listening to Galaxie 500’s wonderfully ragged live version of “Don’t let your youth go to waste” which couples with their cover of their Beatles Rain. I think this version is arguably better than the original which I love.
I’d also go for:
The Verve - Gravity Grave (live at Glastonbury) - mad Richard screaming “one minute left” (like Steve McMahon to the kop) and then the cathartic freakout that follows from the band and vocalist
Radiohead - I might be wrong…and in fact many versions from the live l.p. of that name
Rodan - small things, big things and milk and melancholy from 15 quiet years …post rock par excellence
Ramones - blitzkrieg bop …the original seems too slow by comparison
Fugazi - burning …from the dischord comp complete with shout out to Fire Party
All Talking Heads stuff. I only really listen to stop making sense, I’ve heard a couple of their albums but the production and performances mostly sound anaemic to me
