Stevie Wonder: Very superstitious by Stevie Ray Vaughn

It's the other way around, isn't it? I think Stevie Wonder wrote it and SRV covered it . . .

Best:

I really like the Snake River Conspiracy version of "How Soon Is Now?" originally done by The Smiths.

Nope.

The worst is Britney Spears' I Love Rock and Roll.

wow, i think thats the first time i've seen SRC come up here at ATOT!

 

[Megatomic]

I like 'em. I've wanted to get some of their work (legit) but every time I'm in Planet Music I completely forget to ask for some of the harder to find titles I've been looking for, like Snake River Conspiracy.

 

[brxndxn]

I really like..

311's version of White Man in Hammersmith Palais by The Clash.. I have both versions and the original recorded one is of crappy quality because of the inferior recording equipment of their time. Perhaps if it was remastered it would sound better. But, one of the rare times I'd say the cover was much better would be this song.

 

[mugs]

Cats in the Cradle - Ugly Kid Joe (Harry Chapin)
Mrs. Robinson - Lemonheads (Simon and Garfunkel)

You talking about Dolly Parton's Stairway to Heaven? Yes, that definitely ranks up down there with the worst covers. Almost gave me nightmares.

i first bought their vulcan ep from BB because it looked cool and was marked 2.99

i later purchased their most recent album, but i'm not as impressed with that as i am with the vulcan cd
