I agree, silent j. "Sweet Dreams" was really hard to listen to. Throw in that butch-cut orange hair of Annie Lennox in the video, and you get one of my most hated songs from that era.
Ahh but it is. Curtis Knight got the credit, but Jimi wrote it (it is an instrumental). I have an interview with Curtis Knight where he says Jimi wrote it. http://www.jungle-records.demon.co.uk/jungle/freudcd065.htm http://homepages.which.net/~martin.o_brien/music/jimi/anIntimateBiography.html
Ah, I was listening to a CD in the car today and another GREAT cover hit me. I didn't know it was a cover for an awfully long time, then I just happened to chance upon it on another CD. Ben Harper's version of "The Drugs don't Work" I believe this was done first by The Verve. I've downloaded the Verve's and Howie Day's versions, and the Ben Harper is FAR better.
anyone heard Ben Folds Five cover "She don't Use Jelly" by the Flaming Lips? It's totally different from the original but pretty cool.
That's on the Lounge-a-palooza compilation. It's even more loungey than Ben Folds Five stuff normally is but it's definitely cool. I'd like to hear some more of that album.
Came accross another -- Dave Matthews' solo rendition of Led Zepplin's "Tangerine" is a lot better than the original.
