I stumbled on Beverly McClellan's original stuff totally by accident a week or so ago. I love this snippet of her singing the Who's "Teenage Wasteland," and giving it some pretty bluesy overtones.

[Cool]

Ray Davies of the Kinks is, in my opinion, one of those great songwriters whose singing voice puts me off. Thus, I present my five favorite Kinks covers, in chronological order:

The Pretenders, "I Go To Sleep" (1979)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yoR7fg2pE0

Van Halen, "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?" (1982)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke3ua0kLhYA

The Fall, "Victoria" (1988)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQBdvEg_40

Kirsty MacColl, "Days" (1989)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOKWqtocXWs

Def Leppard, "Waterloo Sunset" (2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMnNP8aKBwc

Thanks for posting all the Davies covers, FL.

So many great covers of "I Go To Sleep" and the Pretenders is my favorite.

Sex Mob gives their trademark punk-jazz treatment to "Live And Let Die".

(And on a semi-related note, there's this.)

This won't get me any points for hipness, but I don't care. And it's worth noting that the Martha & the Vandellas original not only missed the pop Top 40, but didn't even make the R&B Top Five. So I thank Phil for introducing me to a beautiful song I might otherwise have never heard.

Phil Collins, "In My Lonely Room"

I love covers of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence, particularly Lacuna Coil's.

But this is surely the strangest and coolest cover...

Never liked Houston, and I've not really listened much to the Parton version, but Soundgarden was the later I worshipped at in the '90s and Chris Cornell really nails this version of "I Will Always Love You"

Brazil's Pato Fu introduces kids to "Bohemian Rhapsody," via toy instruments. (I believe the CD name, Musica de Brinquedo translates as "Toy Music.")

[LOL]

Unfortunately, I can't translate the puppet banter for you all, because I don't speak Portuguese. [sigh] But the music part begins around 1:45.

Bonnie Raitt covers the late Gerry Rafferty's biggest hit on her latest album. It's hard to beat the smooth vocals of Rafferty's original. Never the less, Bonnie is as classy as ever, the song deserves a revival, and the album is excellent.

Right Down the Line
