"You Take my breath away - Queen . Pure pure class record. I’ve insisted it’s my funeral song. Lol. Not for a good few years yet tho. "So I'm not the only one that loves it then. Interestingly, there seems to be a whole culture of us born around the same time whose first ever Queen album was A Day At The Races...I guess because they 'overpressed' it thinking it would double the success of A Night At The Opera (it didn't, punk happened instead) and as a result, all the seond-hand shops were filled to the brim with copies by the mid 80s. It is SUCH an astounding song, though, an expression of Fred's pure and utter devotion to/for the subject of his love. The only thing that anyone could dedicate to me which would be better than that would be 'Vision' by Peter Hammill (or more precisely, Marc Almond's cover version thereof) | |||

However, I actually like Disturbed's version, because it is different, not just trying to copy the original! Similarly, Derek and the Dominos version of Hendrix's Little Wing.....vastly different! | |||

I just remembered IT HAS, by Gregorian monks, so it is a very apt funeral son, and Demi Rousos too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNgU3ojwlCM I'll Find My Way Home is a song written by Jon Anderson and Vangelis for the Jon and Vangelis' 1981 album The Friends of Mr Cairo. The song was released on December 1, 1981. It has been later covered by numerous artists, including Demis Roussos, Chayanne, Gregorian, Project Pitchfork and Spanish singer Ana Belén. The song is also featured in the movie The Challengers. Never knew about the others. Those two songs are my funeral playlist. because the first time I heard them, they were on the radio one melting into the other. Truly magical and really personal to me there and then. I can't remember which once was first... Just the opening six lines are enough to leave you with more questions than answers...the whole song could be performed on the shrink's couch and should be on somebody's syllabus resulting in one helluvas thesis. You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near... On a side note, Donna Summer really made The State of Independence become better than the original and almost her own song. | |||

" A decent cover can bring a whole new perception to a song, and change the way you think about the original. " Agree totally - for me the sign of a good cover is when you sit and think "I know this song" but can't immediately think why. As I said further up, I love covers that put a new spin on the original and don't see the point of the effectively karaoke straight covers - Uptown Girl by Westlife is a good example of the latter | |||

"Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd. " This has been covered quite a few times, as listed on the secondhandsongs website. Bands such as Queensryche/Dream Theater, Scissor Sisters and scouse band Ananthema. Anathema seems to have done a better job, than the Scissor Sisters, who made their version sound more like the Bee Gees. As a side note, my cousin toured with Anathema as their bass player in the early noughties. | |||

"My love has got no money, he's got his trombone leaves" "I'm free from desire, mine arse end is purified" etc. Also, from her excess 'la la la'-ing, are we to conclude that the lady and Crustal Waters of 'Gypsy Woman' infamy are actually one and the same?

"I will start this off with Frankie goes to Hollywood: The power of love. Even if it was for a Christmas advert. Gary (Knob head ) Barlow, ruining Forever Autumn. He should be shot Jeez! Thank Christ I haven't heard this. I adore that song, means s lot to me
If you think he only did it for a christmas advert, think again.
Him and Liam Neeson absolutely murdered their re-make of The War of the Worlds. "Thank god I never saw that film | |||

"Postmodern jukebox do some excellent covers & quite a few that I don't like the originals of! Mind you I think if you take a song to cover you should vamp it up & make it your own & if that means doing it in a different style that works then why not?" Love Postmodern Jukebox. Quirky | |||

"Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode Thought Marilyn Manson made a decent fist of it. Certainly didn't ruin it. I mentioned that earlier up the thread, but they weren't having it "Johnny Cash did a brilliant cover, and I love Depeche Mode! | |||

"You'll be telling me you saw Bowie supported by Roxy next. Or Cockney Rebel supported by the Dolls. Grrr... I saw Lindisfarne live, their support group was an up and coming act by the name of Genesis "
I think we had same upbringing...great & varied music from an early age.
A friend & I were lucky, both had older siblings so allowed to go to gigs with them from a young age. I remember Feb 71 Winter Gardens Bournemouth.. Van Der Graaf Generator with both Lindisfarne & Genesis supporting. Year later Genesis again at Village Bowl 2 weeks later same venue but Curved Air!
So many others over the following years, too many to mention but great bands, quality music that was so raw, new, different & in some cases outrageous! Some of the kids today just don't get it!!! | |||
