The best part is that it is an incredibly soft spoken light song.

Augie March - O Song.

Aimee Mann - That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart

Morrissey: November Spawned a Monster

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #753 on:** September 05, 2009, 01:38:46 PM »

You have the Suedehead compilation, Cid? But I thought that album lacked Hairdresser On Fire.

EDIT:

Astronaut Wife - Windshield

Sierra · « **Reply #754 on:** September 05, 2009, 02:39:42 PM »

The compilation I have is simply called The Best of Morrissey. It does indeed have Hairdresser on Fire.

I've said this before, but Morrissey has the best song titles.

Siousxie and the Banshees: Fireworks

R.E.M. - Second Guessing

Running albums backwards is funny. This means that the best few songs in Reckoning outside Little America will be played last. This album reminds me of Fables of the Reconstruction in that its first four songs are absolutely fantastic, and try as the remaining tracks may (and they try pretty damned hard), the rest of the album just can't keep up.

Pretty Persuasion > the rest of Reckoning.

Siousxie and the Banshees: Melt!

Definitely.

R.E.M. - Pretty Persuasion

EDIT:

Patti Smith - Ask The Angels

Two Patti Smith albums in a single day? Hells yeah.

Siousxie and the Banshees: This Wheel's on Fire

I seem to only like Bob Dylan songs when someone else plays them.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #759 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:18:57 PM »

In fairness, Siouxsie makes that song sound utterly FABULOUS~.

Patti Smith - Patties

Sierra · « **Reply #760 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:21:47 PM »

They do good covers, yes. I usually find cover songs to be very bleh.

Siousxie and the Banshees: The Passenger

Siousxie and the Banshees: This Wheel's on Fire

This is a very 80's cover. I'm not much of a Dylan fan to start with though. But eh.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #762 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:27:06 PM »

Stereophonics - Gimme Shelter

Does -everyone- do the Rolling Stones's songs better than they do? I've never heard of this band before this, but it's a pretty damn good cover job.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #764 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:32:49 PM »

After comparing Jumpin' Jack Flash in the original version with the Elite Beat Agents DS synth version, I feel sorely tempted to say "yes".

Yoshiken · « **Reply #765 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:39:10 PM »

You've not heard of Stereophonics? They were pretty big over here, quite well known. Got a fair few decent songs as well, definitely worth listening to.
And on the topic of Stones covers:

Guns 'n' Roses - Sympathy for the Devil

Much, much better than the original, IMO...

superaielman · « **Reply #766 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:45:42 PM »

They're a Welsh band, aren't they? (Stereophonic)

Guns N Roses is a far better band than Rolling Stones. I've talked about it here pretty recently but their version of wild horses is amazing.

Guns N' Roses - Paradise City

Sierra · « **Reply #767 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:48:33 PM »

Stones hate makes me happy (for all that the original of Gimme Shelter is among the few songs I like by them). EDIT: Though, having said that, not real impressed by the version Super linked to. See: most covers falling flat with me, and it also lacks that female back-up singer who shrieks like the world's ending.

Siousxie and the Banshees: Face to Face

Beats the everloving fuck out of anything Prince wrote for Batman. Superior theme song for an inferior movie.

Think so, yeah. Think their biggest song was Have a Nice Day, but... well, I don't know too much of their's, so downloading an album now. =P

Aimee Mann - How It Goes

Sierra · « **Reply #770 on:** September 05, 2009, 04:39:38 PM »

New Order: Sub-Culture

A perfectly average band with a handful of great songs. For all that Blue Monday is perfectly representative of them as a band, they've got a number of songs that I think are much better.

EDIT: like this one!

New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle

Björk - All Neon Like

R.E.M.: Harborcoat

This is Snow's fault, of course.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #773 on:** September 06, 2009, 02:43:49 AM »

Am I supposed to regret that?

Aimee Mann - Dear John

Sierra · « **Reply #774 on:** September 06, 2009, 03:09:52 AM »

R.E.M.: Don't Go Back to Rockville

All the answer that's needed.

EDIT:

R.E.M.: Oddfellows Local 151

This has been National Snow Fanservice Day. Thank you and good night.
