Anyone else here bought this?

 

I got it today and to be quite frank, its f***ing awesome. Best compilation I own bar none ^_^

 

My faves so far have to be Kaiser Chiefs - Flowers In The Rain, Fratellis - All Along The Watchtower, Robbie - Lola, The Streets - Your Song (:lol:) and Foo Fighters - Band On The Run

 

I think all the artists so far have done the originals proud, and i'd highly recommend this to anyone who hasnt already bought it

My Illegal copy is working great and I love it ^_^

You're kidding!? The Streets version of 'Your Song' is one of the worst covers ever...and there's very few great covers on there, most sound like they were slapped down in one take.

:lol: Their cover of it makes the lyrics sound... well crap. :lol: But apart from the bad odd cover here and there, it's bloody amazing. :o A great enjoy to listen to. ^_^

There are some really bad covers on it. :(

 

My favs though have to be Mark Ronson and The Kooks. ^_^

I've only listened to the first CD so far, but my favourites:

 

Kasier Cheifs - Flowers In The Rain

Amy Winehouse - Cupid (Not as good as Valerie though.)

Robbie Williams - Lola

Sugababes - Betcha By Golly, Wow

Kylie Minouge - Love Is The Drug (Is it me or has she put on some sort of British Accent on this? :lol: )

The Gossip - Careless Whisper

Foo Fighters - Band On The Run

 

Personally, I was dissapointed by Lily Allen, Mika & James Morrison. And they could of chosen better songs, ones I've heard of. :lol:

ONE question though, the song The Feelings - You're So Vain,

Was that used as a sample on Janet Jacksons Son Of A Gun?

Yeah.

 

I want to get this, Kylie's cover is awesome of course. ^_^

The Streets song is a joke :lol:

Razorlight are ok :)

Not impressed with Klaxons and Keane though :o

Yeah.

The Kylie song is the biggest surprise for me. I'm not a fan of hers and I don't particularly like the original song but her version is brilliant.

I think The Streets version of "Your Song" is the worst one on there to be honest.

 

My favourites were:

 

Foo Fighters- Band On The Run

Sugababes- Betcha By Golly Wow

The Gossip- Careless Whisper

Mutya Buena- Fast Car

The Twang- Drinking In L.A

Hard-Fi- Toxic

shouldnt this thread just be merged with the one in pop???

 

Mutya Buena!?!!??

It's weird because this is the first post that popped up when I came in here, and this song is the exact reason I hunted this thread down.

 

It is without a doubt the WORST cover, scratch that, SONG I've ever heard :lol: I bought it because I wanted to hear different takes on classic songs but a) most of the songs on CD1 I don't know and B] some are just bad :(

This is tosh apart from the Amy Winehouse and Gossip covers. The Gossip have managed to take a song I loathe and turn it into something I quite like!

The Kylie cover is not very good, no way near as good as the original and as for Hard-Fi ... Jesus! But the worst has to be Kasabian. It sounds as though they are sleepwalking through Too Much Too Young. It sounds lethargic and lazy and I absolutely love Kasabian. Their cover of Pictures of Matchstick Men is much better.
