My favourite topic…oh how i seethe when i hear a b@stardised version of a classic song.

Re: Updating songs

I know some songs which were redone and while whether they compare to the originals can be debated, they are good to hear regardless.

for example mercy mercy me, the original is awesome, but i have also always liked the robert palmer version, maybe because I am a big fan of both gents.

also liked duran durans take on whitelines, even perfect day.

billy idols mony mony..

smoth criminal by alient ant farm etc

Re: Updating songs

I like the the original Cure and Journey.

Have heard enough crappy cover bands to be wary of any "updates"
