That said, all the proceeds are going to charity and if I had to pick which charity cover I'd want as the Christmas No.1 it certainly wouldn't be that pathetic spew called Band Aid 20.
No he did a pretty appalling version of that too.Quote:

terrible covers - heard a new one this morning, ELectric Six cover of QUeen’s Radio Gaga, even more annoyting than the original.didnt Pet Shop Boys do a version of U2’s ‘Where ther Streets Have No Name’? and of course all of Robbie Willaims and Westlife’s swing covers... incidentally why did yer man Cat Stevens change from Yuseelf Islam to just Yssuef?
He didn't shorten it, probably just written that way some places. Pet Shop Boys did the only Elvis cover I like with "You were always on my mind" but their version of "Where the streets have no name" is quite poor.
Dove's sucked big timeQuote:

Willie Nelson does a nice 'Always On My Mind' aswell.Quote:

Actually picked up the Band Aid single in a record sale ages back but never played it...only put it on recently and found out that it was the 1989 version... :eek: Featuring such luminaries as Big Fun, Cathy Dennis, D Mob, Kevin Godley, Glen Goldsmith, The Pasadenas, Jimmy Sommerville, Sonia and Technotronics... :confused:
Did have at least some people you've heard of though - Bananarama, Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Chris Rea, Cliff Richard, Lisa Stansfield and Wet Wet Wet - but it shows how much downhill music went in those five years...

I blame the producers and the record companies.Quote:

I nearly cried. I love that song and look what those teeny bopping disgraces have done to it. :mad:
The Lemonheads did a good cover, obviously Simon and Garfunkel did a fabulous job at the start.

Can't recall her being a proper house name, was she not just one of the random pop music heads who used people from the house scene to help push their records by working with them or if you're name's Paul Weller ripping them off the week they're about to release the original :mad: Will randomly guess that Macy might know something about this seeing as he's from Manchester where house was at its biggest in the UK.
She was a featured vocalist on three D-MOB hit singles before her first solo hit.Quote:

One's I like:
Chaka Khan doing Prince's 'I Feel For You'
Alicia Keys doing Prince's 'How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore'
Beyonce doing the Bee Gee's 'Emotions'
Blur doing the Specials 'Nightclub'

Ages ago I heard Tori Amos (pretty sure it was her anyway) do a cover of "Smells like teen spirit", with only a piano - no drums, guitar, etc.
Words failed me.
Tori Amos' version of smells like teen spirit is on the b-side of the Silent All These Years single. I really like it actually ...though I acknowledge it's blatant attention seeking.
As for Cathy Dennis -who was brought up a few posts back -she was very much on the SAW end of house and released the kind of muck they used regularly feature on 'The hitman and her'. the only thing that separates her from the reynolds girls is the fact she wasn't utterly kicked.
mot the hoople ---wasnt rory gallagher inspired by them???
Cathy Dennis worked with D-Mob initially and then had a solo career. She always co-wrote her material and is one of the most successful songwriters on the music scene today. She co-wrote Kylie's hit " Can't Get You Out of My Head" with Rob Davies who in the 1970's played Lead guitar for glam rockers MUD.Quote:
