I'd've love to heave heard that Dave Matthews cover. I heart him bigtime, and "Solsbury Hill" is one of my favorite Gabriel songs.
Oddly, I go to very few concerts (there are reasons for this, which I will bore you with at some point in the future if you desperately want me to and buy me a drink first - see, I know how to bribe, me!). So I don't have a top-five list of live covers I've actually heard live. I adore covers, however, so I could give you a top-five of those, if you wanted.
I actually have it as an mp3 (normally I don't have these things to hand!) so I will totally get that to you tomorrow, if you like.
I would be interested to know t his! (And more than willing to buy drinks... how are your current plans vis a vis con.txt? *grin*) Mmmm, covers. And, yes please! *sits back to await your listing*
I will totally get that to you tomorrow, if you like.
That would be lovely. I hadn't meant to hint - I was just pining in general - but since you offer, yays.
(And more than willing to buy drinks... how are your current plans vis a vis con.txt? *grin*)
In a word (or several): I'm signed up to come and need to remember to request the time off :-). Yours? *waits hopefully*
As to the listing (to which you may also listen, if you like), it's a listing en ce moment rather than a listing de la vie, and it's a rather odd mix of weird and beautiful - sometimes in the same song. A few of them even adhere to your original request by being live, omg.
Barenaked Ladies - Fight the Power, cov. Public Enemy, Coneheads OST. BWAHA. And yet it sort of works.
Billy Boyd - Hit Me Baby One More Time (live), cov. Britney Spears. I find Billy Boyd more than a little yummy, possibly due in large part to the scene in LotR III in which he sings. Here he also sings, although the source material is. um. a bit different.
Downloading in a minute, and more sensible comments to follow, but I just have to say - there is only ONE of these I already had, and I think two that I have heard before, and the one I have? Is TOTALLY Billy's cover of Hit Me Baby One More Time. Oh BILLEH. <33
I cannot condense my favourite cover songs done live into a top five. I'me somewhat of a whore for good cover versions of good songs. I made a post once. I should do it again, because I truely need to add new stuff to said list.
Yay you with the pub quiz winning!!! And the WOF!!! \o/ \o/ \o/
Fav First Five Cover Songs to Come to Mind (that I like)
1. Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits) - Indigo Girls (this makes me nrrrrgh! Amy's voice is a drug) 2. Cruel to be Kind (??) - Letters to Cleo 3. I'm Not In Love (10CC) - Fun Lovin' Criminals 4. I'm Your Man (Wham!) - Lisa Moorish 5. Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen) - Concrete Blonde
A. I've got your voice saying "ramarama llama farmer" stuck in my head!
B. Songs~ In my case, these are the first five I thought of: Placebo covering Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' Rage Against the Machine covering Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall' Nirvana covering The Vaselines' 'Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam' *cough* Marilyn Manson covering Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'I Put A Spell On You' Reel Big Fish/Save Ferris covering The Foundations' 'Build Me Up, Buttercup'
Oooh, nice. I'm pretty sure I've heard #2 and it was great, and ohh, I bet that last one kicks ass. Something about that song makes it a really prime candidate to BE covered. *approves*
