.Joel Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So it's always easy posting a song you like from a band that originally wrote it, what about when you come across a cover of a song which in your opinion is even better than the original or perfectly on par? Share some of the covers you've come across. Here's Jamie N Commons with a cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoutherlyBuster Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm a fan of PinkFloyd from way back, sorry but the hybrid of Bob Dylan and PinkFloyd argggg like the original much better. Sounds too twangy for my liking, but hey what ever you like. Don't get me wrong I like Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd but not mixed into the one pot. mik333 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhn.holgate Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 A funky version of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child from Angelique Kidjo And one of the very best covers of all time - Ann and Nancy Wilson (and ensemble) covering Stairway to Heaven....

He's got a good voice but should stick to his own material - his cover of "All along the Watchtower" sucks! 1 hour ago, jhn.holgate said: Ann and Nancy Wilson (and ensemble) covering Stairway to Heaven....
