“The House That Jack Built”

Aretha Franklin:

The Alan Price Set:

Tunnel of Love - Springsteen

Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits

Hey everybody!

Which one is better? :slightly_smiling_face:

SW

A couple more “One” Songs.

One - Ringo Starr

One - Bee Gees

I love Ringo! But, I’ll give this one to the Brothers Gibb.

^ This Beatles guy will never side with a Gibb brother, regardless of composition.
Heh, has “Gloria” been mentioned yet?

Complained here before about proto-garage stuff (“Dity Water”, “96 Tears” come to mind), but then, there’s also Laura, so, I’m not sure who to poo-poo more, here.

Elton John:

Linda Ronstadt:

You left out the best Gloria

Jeez, they’re young here. The Edge had hair!

Can’t really say that the Roxy Music version of “Avalon” is a cover of a Benny Goodman classic, but I will say that despite the crisp snappiness of the latter, I’ll go with Mr. Ferry’s crooning of what is IMO one of their best numbers. (along with “Out of the Blue”, “The Strand”, “Editions of You”).

ELO again …

… and of course Stevie Ray Vaughn

also ELO

and even Ozzy Osbourne!

Also Dylan: (from the Basement Tapes with the Band)

And of course the Cure:

Have a spidey feeling this might’ve already been mentioned?
David Bowie vs

Faith No More

Never heard the latter tune before - not too darn bad!

A tie?

NOT ENOUGH OPINIONATED POSTS HERE!!! :angry:

Back when such things were subversive (not saying they were BETTER times)…

Jill for the win. The flow of that first verse is good times.

And another…

One of These Days - Ten Years After Ten Years After - One of These Days - A Space in Time - 1971 - YouTube
One of These Days - Pink Floyd One Of These Days - YouTube
One of These Days - Neil Young Neil Young - One Of These Days - YouTube
(One of) These Days - Foo Fighters Foo Fighters - These Days (Official Music Video) - YouTube

You probably aren’t surprised that there are multiple songs titled “Valhalla”

First one by Foo Fighters who don’t know how to properly title a Youtube video

I’ll go with Cage the Elephant on this one.

There’s also a song by Zuzu called Skin and Bone, close but no “s” (so no direct YT embed for her). But I mention it as a near miss because Cage the Elephant, Lund and Zuzu all released their songs within the same 12 month period which is kinda interesting.

“Changes” by Sugar came up in this thread, and inspired by this I’m now listening to “Copper Blue” and spotted another pair. “Helpless” by Sugar and Neil Young’s “Helpless” by CSN&Y. As much as I love Neil, I have to go with Bob Mould here:

And the Kinks.

Ooh! I wanted to find a way to work this in here without referring to modern vampire movies, and I found it!

ELO - “Twilight”

Yuiko Tsubokura - “Twilight” from Bubblegum Crisis, Episode 4: “Revenge Road”

Tsukbokura also gets a two-fer with Great White for “Rock Me
