(Music) Tribute, Remake & Covers; the hits and misses

The Residents does James Brown - It's a Man's World



Same, but with Molly Harvey on vocals

With the risk of sounding like a Mark Ronson obsessee, I present Valerie.
Original by The Zutons; cover by Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse.
They're both very variant in musical style and are therefore original in their own way. I don't think either version is better than the other.

This is School Days; the original by the legendary Chuck Berry, and the cover by AC/DC. It's no secret that Acca Dacca are hugely influenced by Chuck Berry. I have to say, growing up being hugely influenced by AC/DC, I prefer their version to Chuck's, and while Chuck remains unavoidably brilliant, I also think that Bon Scott is one of the best, if not the best, frontman that ever lived. Both are extremely similar in style - long live rock and roll I remember coming home from school everyday and listening to T.N.T which featured their cover of School Days.

Many of these remakes, I've never heard before.

Frankly, the remake doesn't come close to the original ...

No worries. A fresh start is always good. As long as people are posting music, it's all good.
