Artists That Should Never Ever Be Covered. Ever.

<< < (13/51) > >>

Jackie Blue:
Nirvana cause a LOT of kids to buy Sonic Youth albums.

'Nuff said.

KharBevNor:
My interest in alternative music started by never listening to contemporary pop music, ever. At the time all my friends were getting seriously obsessed with Nirvana (14/15), my favourite songs of all time were 'Puritania' by Dimmu Borgir, 'Queen of Winter, Throned' by Cradle of Filth, 'Countess Bathory' by Venom, 'Disciples of Black Sorcery' by Thou Art Lord and 'I Am The Black Wizards' by Emperor. My softer listening was all Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Pink Floyd. I thought Nirvana were lame, and, though I know far, far more about music now then I did then, my initial opinion held, and not for want of re-appraisal, I own two Nirvana albums. Never been able to sit through either of them.

want proof why? listen to the mp3s here: http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/news/
just scroll down to the 'covers and remixes' section.


edit:
i'd like to add that no one should cover neutral milk hotel. mainly b/c i've heard several attempts and they just....hurt.

Didn't Thursday do a cover of Sigur Ros's Ni Batteri? (I haven't heard it, I've just heard people complain about it.) I kind of want to hear it, just to see how bad the song would be. It was never a really good song to begin with, but with Thursday covering it, it should be especcially bad!

Bah! Ny Batteri is one of their bests. Geoff sort of takes "artistic liberty" with the vocals in Thursday's version, however.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 22 Jan 2007, 10:02 ---the legacy of Nirvana was not turning hard rock music in to a beautiful liberal flower of loveliness and making everyone listen to your favourite eighties bands

--- End quote ---

The point is that some people did who wouldn't have otherwise, and simply saying "oh but they didn't" runs in direct contradiction to my own personal experience and the experience of others who have expressed interest in Nirvana and I've responded to with, "Oh, then you might like..."

BrittanyMarie:
I got into The Vaselines through Nirvana. I got into the Pixies really early, then other people said "Then you may like this!". After a while I figured out that bands thank other bands in their liner notes, bands cover other bands who they like... if Band A really digs Band X, and I really like Band A, then maybe I should check out Band X.

Edit to answer the first post:
Neal Diamond. Please no one cover Sweet Caroline. Ever.
