I'm going to go with Steel Panther, totally reworked this classic and they own it. Brilliant

Cheers for providing another link, I didn't realise the YouTube police blocked the one I sent. 😂 It can be so hit and miss.

And I agree, I love Panthers take on it, they're such a hilarious band.

Wicked cover but Dolly is the one for this song.

71 sats \ 3 replies \ @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears 26 May

There's an SF writer named Nick Mamatas who has argued that all White Stripes songs are terrible unless they're covers of other people's works, or if it's someone else covering a White Stripes original. While I don't fully agree, I do tend to love any cover they do, and this is no exception.

(That said, I always vote for Dolly on this song, no matter how good the cover.)

42 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 26 May

I was never a big white stripes fan but they have some good tracks. I don't think all their songs are terrible unless they are covers but if the crux of his argument is that they are overrated, I might agree with that.

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears 26 May

Yeah, I think he's going a little more for hyperbole and that they're overhyped; I still listen to some of their original songs when they come on.

I never really understood their massive popularity but I don't get today's music either so what do I know

Thunder - Gimme Shelter

These guys have done some amazing cover versions and this is one of my absolute faves of their version of the Rolling Stones's, Gimme Shelter.

I know you love your Thunder 0b1 and they did not disappoint. Wicked cover.

You know me 😆. They've done a lot of covers but this one has always been an absolute standout for me. They don't just cover it they take it to an extra level.

We have our winner for the week

Thank you @BTC_Bellzer, glad you enjoyed this cracker of a track from Thunder.

Looking forward to next weeks cover post.

I've not heard of Thunder before but I agree they crush this cover

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 26 May

I'm slightly biased on this but have a look in to them. Start with the Backstreet Symphony album, their first album. It's probably their best and one which was hard to live up to. Almost like coming out with a Hysteria or Slippery When Wet as your debut. The follow up albums are a treat and didn't disappoint. The songs have a great depth to them, especially in the later albums. Danny has one of the best voices, such a range. Very soulful. I also shared Danny and Luke's (lead guitarist and main songwriter) version of "I can't stand the rain"

Great song from the Stones, but the Thunder version nails it.

Richard Marx - Miami 2017

He just nails this one, absolutely brilliant.

36 sats \ 6 replies \ @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears 25 May

Whoa! I love Billy's song, and have been a fan of a lot of the stuff Marx has done, but never encountered this version! Great find!

15 sats \ 0 replies \ @BTC_Bellzer OP 26 May

This was another good 1

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 25 May

It's one of my absolute favourites from both of these legends. I first heard this when Billy did a concert for the BBC's Old Great Whistle Test show. This was recorded by Richard Marx in 1993, and released as a bonus track on international versions of his album Paid Vacation. So we got this in the UK but probably not the US. Spotify only has the regular US album, no extras, so the only place you'll find it is on YT or if you have the CD.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 25 May

Here's Billy on that BBC concert from 1978. One of the first shows we ever recorded on our Ferguson Video star VHS recorder. We kept that tape for decades, the concert is just brilliant.

15 sats \ 1 reply \ @BTC_Bellzer OP 26 May

They let you bring a recorder to tape the show?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 26 May

We taped it from the TV on our newly acquired VHS video recorder.

Now you've got me thinking of what it would have been like to have been at that concert. Even then in '78 he had all these massive songs, many musicians would have dined out on them for the rest of their careers, he was only just starting.

Richard Marx absolutely nails this! Awesome awesome cover, slightly pips the original for me.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 26 May

I have to agree, but it feels a little like blasphemy to say it 😄. The original was from one of his very early albums, maybe lacked a bit of production. Richard just seems to bring it alive more and the piano is just awesome.

The Chicks - Landslide

Fabulous version of the Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks classic, Landslide. Giving it a country feel.

They did really well with this, but Stevie just has a way with a song. Such a talented artist.

Blondie is Blondie, of course.

But Dolly is a legend, and still crushing it at her age.

This is a tough one. Dolly does this really really well... But Blondie... It's Blondie yaknow! This is a Blondie track and she takes it here again.

As BTC_Bellzer says, surprisingly good. I imagined it was going to be horrendous. I can feel that there's lots of post production work gone in to that track. Like to hear her sing it live.

Sorry, didn't actually vote. Got to go original

Chaka Khan absolutely nails this. But Prince is such an iconic musician. I'm going to lean Prince here but it's very close.

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @BTC_Bellzer OP 25 May

I vote cover because that will definitely be the most 80s thing I see today

True! Prince's version is from around '78.

Def Leppard - Hangin' On The Telephone

The Blondie track shared earlier reminds me of this from Def Leppard's Yeah cover versions album. It's one of the best from that album.

I'm with Bellzer on this, I really didn't expect this from Def Leppard. Awesome cover.
