Great Music Covers

There are time’s when I look at the younger generation coming up behind me and I think civilisation is fucked. Then I see something like this and realise we’re going to be ok.

Four and a half years is just about the right amount of time between posting covers performed by Tool.

Tool - You Lied (Peach cover)

That’s her own song,
Valerie is an extraordinary cover, far superior to the (also excellent) original.
She was something else

The smashing tunes discussion brought me to this, it’s one of my favourite Pixies songs
Winterlong- Cover of Neil Young, but this is way better

They covered Head On as well by Jesus and Mary Chain. The original is a longer song and very good but Pixies squash it down to 2 mins 10 and rock it up,

And Cecelia Ann as well. It’s quite similar to the original but still a brilliant rocker.

That cover of Head On is great

Was never a lover of this song til this autoplayed in my Spotify. Always found it too maudling but Shane captures that and uses it

He makes a very decent fist of it, but you nailed it with maudling. Shocking.

Indeed.

File under ‘Grace’ also.
