[yamahacrasher]

Is it supposed to be Los Lobos who covered La Bamba, or is Los Lomas another group who covered it?

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Is it supposed to be Los Lobos who covered La Bamba, or is Los Lomas another group who covered it?

You're right, it's Los Lobos, I misread it. My bad.

 

[weaselkenievil]

Aretha Franklin
Jimi Hendrix
Nirvana
Marvin Gaye

 

[Dr Curtis Love]

Nirvana (nostalgia reasons)
Fugees
Hendrix (I think might take this)
Sinead (phenomenal voice and cover)

 

[Natural Order]

Jimi, Joe, Eric and Van Halen

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Nirvana (nostalgia reasons)
Fugees
Hendrix (I think might take this)
Sinead (phenomenal voice and cover)

I think Hendrix cover will be in the final 3 I'm sure, along with Johnny Cash cover.

 

[Kryptt]

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World / Joe Cocker - With a Little Help of My Friends / Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams / Rage Against the Machine - Renegades of Funk

 

[I Am Legion]

Growing up in the 80s, I loved Van Halen. Cocker had those pipes. And that Run DMC and Aerosmith video on MTV was great. Rage was great too. That Siena’s song hanged us all. Never stopped. I grew to hate it.

 

[tank666]

Manson
Nirvana
Run DMC
Lenny Kravitz

 

[-Magua-]

Killing me Softly.
So many good memories from HS & later when I hear that song.
Video is a classic; Simply Good times.
Lauryn at her finest.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Jimi
Fugees
Righteous Brothers
Sinead

 

[Dr Curtis Love]

I think Hendrix cover will be in the final 3 I'm sure, along with Johnny Cash cover.

I agree

 

[cincymma79]

Uh how is Aretha not number one

 

[Kingz]

Righteous Brothers
Joe Cocker
Fugees
Manson

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Uh how is Aretha not number one

People tend to like Rock N Roll music on Sherdog, more than any other genre.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Uh how is Aretha not number one

Aretha's version is great but I'm not sure I favor it that much over Otis' version.

I think when judging cover songs there's an element of both how good it is and whether you like it a lot more than the original.
