Covers Wars!

Trollheart · 05-19-2015, 11:06 AM

Yeah I'm at it again. Yet another in my soon-to-be-defunct list of "wars" threads.

Simple enough, as ever: post two cover versions of a song and vote for the best. It can be a well known or obscure song, but if the latter you might want to also post the original so that we know what we're judging the covers against.

Signup sheet yadda yadda yadda you know how it goes...

First up: I don't think I need to post David Bowie's "Heroes", but here are the two covers I want to face off against each other.

Peter Gabriel's orchestral version

vs
the version by TV on the Radio

Damn, I was just going to vote for TV on the radio...

Trollheart · 05-20-2015, 03:35 PM

You can still vote; I just saw zero interest as the thread slid down the page and assumed there was none. Maybe one vote will kick something off, maybe not...

Carpe Mortem · 05-20-2015, 03:41 PM

i'm very interested in this thread. But I can post maybe once every few days. Maybe give it time, you gave it slightly more than 24 hours before declaring it dead Trollman.

Also Peter Gabriel on this one.

but some can,such as[Aretha-you send me]perhaps only the queen could've updated the classic[sam cooke]gem...of course our main man[luthor Vandross]and his rendition of the temptations classic[since I lost my baby]has become a classic itself,as I said not all can do it,but with the right respect it can be done.

Is anyone interested in this at all before it slips off the page? If not I'll drop it, but one or two people professed an interest so I just wonder....?

Covers are a tragically underrated art form :/

Why does this thread need to be popular? Fvck it dude. Us four can play just fine.

Trollheart · 05-26-2015, 04:39 PM

Course we can. You're a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine, Carpe!

Ok, so who wants to vote for who? Let's try to get this started shall we?

Oriphiel · 05-26-2015, 04:43 PM

I'll join as well!

I prefer Peter Gabriel's version, so that's where my vote goes.
