I was watching Soul Train last week, y'know they're now showing all the old episodes from the '70s, and '80s, and they played a version of "What A Fool Believes" sung by Aretha Franklin. I must have lost my damn mind when I heard that.

Not only is "What A Fool..." my favorite song (or one of them) ever, but Aretha putting that hard soul on it...I was laid out.

I just can't find it on Youtube or anything, though.

I enjoy this cover of Kiss From A Rose, since the singer (Garm) is pretty much my favourite voice in music.

YouTube - Head Control System - Kiss from a Rose

Oh, and this Nightwish cover of Gary Moore's Over The Hills And Far Away is really well done.

YouTube - Nightwish - Over the hills and far away

Thyrfing, a folk metal band from Sweden covered the same Gary Moore song and I enjoy it just as much as Nightwish's cover. The guitarwork is superior on this one, and it has a nice folk vibe to it. The keyboard's don't come close to Nightwish's, which is expected.

That was a comment she made at a post-Grammys party ....

"I'm going on record as an artist who is able to critique [Amy Winehouse]," Natalie Cole (a recovering drug addict herself) told reporters at a post-Grammys bash Sunday. "I think she has a great talent, but I don't agree with the Grammys giving her those nods. I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards.

"It's a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn't have a grasp of what she has. I've been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it.

"So I take great offense to almost see someone getting glory out of being in the position that they're in — she needs to get her life together and embrace her craft, she will lose it if she doesn't get it together."


.... just her opinion but she can sing no matter what her opinion is! :cool:

Hey, I'm in the mood for some kick-ass cover songs. Please lay some on me! What are your favorites? Here are some of mine, just for good measure:

16 Horsepower - Bad Moon Rising (Credence cover): It really brings out the Armageddon in this song

16 Horsepower. Bad Moon Rising. - YouTube

Soft Cell - Tainted Love (Gloria Jones cover): Really brings out the gay in this song. Well, everyone knows and loves it, so posting it is almost pointless

SOFT CELL - TAINTED LOVE (HQ official video) mp4 - YouTube

Blood Axis - Walked in Line (Joy Division cover): Really brings out the military in this song
