Original but not always best....

Whilst making up a new play list for my I-Pod, I decided to make a cover version play list, these are 5 of my favourites, I've included the originals for comparison.......Enjoy.

In Reverse order (although this would change daily dependant on mood) with the original artist first... in at number 5

Eurythmics..Sweet Dreams

Marilyn Manson

4; Dolly Parton... Jolene.

The White Stripes..

3: Huddie Ledbetter (leadbelly)... Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

Nirvana (The emotion in Kurt's voice at the end of this song is a thing of beauty, what a tragic waste.

2: Nine Inch Nails.. Hurt

Johnny Cash. This was recorded not long before Johnny passed away, Trent Reznor who wrote the original has been quoted as saying he no longer feels this song is his own, Mr Cash has stolen it..I agree.

And drum roll please..

Numero uno..

Wayne Cochran...Last Kiss.

Pearl Jam..

Right now this is my favourite ever cover version, I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam several times, and EV just kills this song..I've included a live version of this one too, just so you can hear the utter Brilliance that is Mr Eddie Vedder..

Live music at it's very best..

There are loads of other songs I could have put up, these reflect my taste in music now, my mood changes often, that's what music is, it's a journey, it's feelings and emotions, but mostly it's just Rock and Roll baby x
