Not exactly a cover. I do like both songs though.

Since you brought up Bruce Hornsby though, "Levitate" is my favorite song by him ("The Way It Is" being my 2nd):

Eric Prydz made his fortune from poor Steve.

i just remembered it because of Tupac and it samples the original heavily however they are incredibly conjugated.

I appreciate the cover here...but the distortion/age of the original is something i think adds to its character and cannot be replaced.

hehehe

its a case where the cover got more recognition but not better than the original.

I prefer the original.

'90s R&B has a special place in my heart, by the way.

90's as the decade was the best! But I think we ought to get opion our female members as to which is better.

does this count??

 

[Nilgiri]

Fair enough.




Queen all the way....


Here's another unorthodox cover:

I like both versions a lot, but prefer Korn's.

They are about equal to me. Original has a nicer background beat....cover has nicer frontline delivery.

Continuing original vs cover series:

Famous one of cover exceeding the original (imo of course)....Cash really added a je ne sais quoi to his rendition. But of course Trent created it, can never take that away from him.

At least i don't utilize myself in such a productive manner.

Most of what we discuss here on forum engages the mind (good and bad) when we are lucky....(raw animal emotion when we are unlucky). The mind (like body) is temporary phenomenon, we own it while we live....our emotions we don't even really own, we just inherit with little choice. Both however end when the mortal clock ticks it last.

Thus few things reach our soul, which is eternal....which for small moment in time helps us remember that yes all of us have something we fundamentally are the absolute same....maybe the only thing like that.

Music is one of those very few things ( I feel). I would argue sharing it (since not all of us are so lucky to be able to make it) is thus one of the most productive things we can do....if productivity means doing something important....something that will "count".

Whether we stand in front of our creator for judgement, or return to live again all over again in endless cycle till final liberation, or whatever else (who really can know...we only have faith at most)....one thing I feel is certain.... those things that touch our soul probably are the only things that will matter.
