Yes, that's the correct title... But there's just no emotion in UKJ's version. Croche inserts his heart and soul into that classic.

:thumbsup:

Edit: Fixed artist name after NL5 caught me being lazy.

Agreed. The original is better and much more heartfelt.

Yeah, but every cover by Me First sounds... well... the same lol... I mean if you speed up every song and add some rock styling to it, they're all going to be pretty much the same. That said, they're good, but I don't know that they're better then the original - I mean it's like saying Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine is better for everything he covers.

 

[Babbles]

Bowling for Soup - I ran
GNR - Knocking on Heaven's Door
GNR - Sympathy for the Devil - however I wish they did a cover of the entire song instead of making a shorter version of it
Aerosmith - Back in the Saddle again - then again it is so different from Gene Autrey's version I'm not sure even if it can be considered a cover

Yeah, I actually agree. but UKJ is nostalgic to me. :tear;

Cover better than original but still not a good song:

Mony Mony - Billy Idol

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

Punk cover of "Hit Me Baby One More Time"

Don't remember who did it tho.

That's not Croce (I assume you mean Jim Croce)

The original did not depict the true depth of the song.

I could name a lot...but you guys would whine.

Minor details, but Harry Chapin did the original.

Agreed. When I read the title of this post, this was the first song to come to mind. I like Dave Matthews Band version better than Dylan's as well.

 

[Babbles]

Dylan wrote many good song, but I just feel that he was very poor at performing those songs.

Whiskey in a Jar - Metallica

These are the exact two things I was thinking. Country Roads by MMATGG's is awesome! As with almost all their other songs
