Dave and I were watching the VH-1 Rock Honors tonight that I had on
the DVR. The Who was being honored, with lots of bands coming out to
cover their songs, my favorites being Pearl Jam's "Love Reign Over Me"
(Vedder's voice is so perfect for that choice) , Tenacious D.
covering "Squeezebox" (a true sense of great music and great whimsy)
and "Pinball Wizard" by the Flaming Lips (my all-time fave, as I love
that song and have a large crush on Wayne Coyne).
But something Dave and I do frequently is discuss who did great covers
of various songs. You know - Manfred Mann doing "Blinded By The
Light", the Springsteen song, taking a passable song and making it
*phenomenal*. So what are you favorite covers and what do you like
about it?

(I'm not sure many people read the M-Nut conferene.... But I kind of like
Siouxie's cover of, "The Passenger.")

I liked Jimi Hendrix's cover of Clapton's "All Along the Watchtower"
I liked Vanilla Fudge's cover of "Set Me Free"
I liked Elton John's cover of "Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds"

I thought Bob Dylan did "All Along the Watchtower." I had no idea Clapton
did as well?
I think you have to ask the FW in Agora to link it for you...

Oleta Adams covering "Don't Let The Sun Go Down" on me. Taking a good
song and making it absolutely amazing.

The Dead do a pretty good version of All Along the Watchtower.
I've always really liked Aztec Camera's cover of Van Halen's Jump.
I like Blind Melon's version of Three is a Magic Number

My bad,how right you are.
I also like Queensryche's cover of "Scarborough Fair"
King Crimson's cover of "Three of a perfect pair" is pretty good.

I love Blind Melon's version of "Three is a Magic Number"! It think
it's the only reason I keep that cd.
And I now have to find the Queensryche cover of "Scarborough Fair".
Thanks Lar!

I don't have anything to contribute, but for some reason, erased responses
keep showing up as new, and I'm sick of seeing #19.

Fronttalk is open source!

Being open source, we have the ability to find and fix the bug. Open source
is not a panacea; but you knew that.
Contrast this, however, to the situation with the current "scribble" bug in
picospan, which we cannot fix, since we don't have the source code to it.
(Psst: `fixseen' would have had the same effect as a response.)

Great.
So, tell me again why you haven't fixed the bug.
