This discussion centers on the comparative analysis of cover songs versus their original versions, highlighting specific examples such as Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" and Jimi Hendrix's rendition of "All Along the Watchtower." Participants argue that the quality of a cover is subjective, often depending on personal taste and the context in which the songs are experienced. Notable mentions include The Residents' cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and the contrasting styles of Simon & Garfunkel versus Disturbed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of interpretation and arrangement in determining whether a cover enhances or detracts from the original work.
PREREQUISITESMusic enthusiasts, critics, and artists interested in the dynamics of cover songs versus originals, as well as anyone exploring the subjective nature of musical interpretation and performance.
I guess it's blocked in your country. So I edited the post to use another version.symbolipoint said:Hornbein, in post #2256, the Jerry Lee Lewis Ramblin' Rose simply gives "(!) Video Unavailable, This video is not available". I will try a search directly in YouTube....
..., so I did find some, but none with the particular thumbnail image in your post.
Not for me. Bug in the system. 2nd bug : PhysicsForums inserting spurious italics.symbolipoint said:Hornbein
The version you placed in your post through editing shows labeling that partly does not match the piece of music. Singer sure does sound like Jerry L. Lewis, and the music sure does seem "Ramblin' Rose"; but the record shows a title of "I've been twisten'", instead of "Ramblin' Rose".

I saw Pink Floyd in 1971 or 72 doing Atom Heart Mother and Meddle. Roger Waters had some trouble getting his echo unit to work on One Of These Days. I quite liked the show but what really knocked my socks off in those days was the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The opening act for that was Eagles. They were OK.pinball1970 said:Lucky enough to see the real thing in 1988 but I would have preferred to have seen the "Wish you were here" tour 1975, I think that was their peak. I was 8 when that was released so I don't think mum would have let me go!
Every tribute band I have seen have been awesome too, I don't think you can be in a mediocre Floyd tribute and get gigs, not in the UK anyway.
Favourite album is "wish you were here" but ECHOs is my favourite track. Pompeii footage fantastic.Hornbein said:I saw Pink Floyd in 1971 or 72 doing Atom Heart Mother and Meddle.

Back in 1971 Pink Floyd opened with a song entitled Embryo that made a big impression on us but somehow never made it on an album.pinball1970 said:Favourite album is "wish you were here" but ECHOs is my favourite track. Pompeii footage fantastic.
