It's a good list of bands doing a deep album track though, so I believe any one of them could be better than the original but I'm bound by regional custom and law to deny it.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-11192194793040420342009-10-19T02:45:14.993-05:002009-10-19T02:45:14.993-05:00Awww, Jeffen...

(I'm a only a mid-size JMC fan but you can sure hear why even the band would have to admit they'd been cut.)<br /><br />Thanks for the words, Gary and Longy.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-86359630329608447202009-10-18T05:51:14.080-05:002009-10-18T05:51:14.080-05:00For me every Pixies cover is perfect and better th...For me every Pixies cover is perfect and better than the orginal. Their verison of JMC's Head On is outstanding (I tihnk the Reid Brothers even said, that's what Head On was meant to sound like).<br /><br />Longy your right (again) Frank Blacks solo stuff is also brillaint, especially the album you named, His voer of the Beach Boys "Hang On To Your Ego" is again perfect. I'm gonna post two excellent Frank Blacks bootlegs soon, so keep you eyes open.Punkzer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863961322955578815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-45416327858080053292009-10-18T03:58:29.517-05:002009-10-18T03:58:29.517-05:00C'mon boys you are embarressing me now lol.
...C'mon boys you are embarressing me now lol. <br /><br />Agree with Gary...a beautifully written post and Neil Young's Winterland is one of those rare examples when the cover version is better than the original.<br /><br />Some of Frank Blacks solo stuff is well worth a listen too if you haven't already. Teenager Of The Year being my particular favourite.Longyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168794648430025104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-59982380794197546692009-10-17T22:18:19.725-05:002009-10-17T22:18:19.725-05:00Thanks Gary, for the fine words and the inspiratio...Thanks Gary, for the fine words and the inspiration for the post.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-39848463934309694922009-10-17T12:21:46.420-05:002009-10-17T12:21:46.420-05:00Nice post, beutfully written Jeffen, I also agree ...Nice post, beutfully written Jeffen, I also agree Lomgys reply was the smart one.Punkzer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863961322955578815noreply@blogger.com
