What song are you listening to right now?

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Nov 6th, 2023, 03:33 AM

I'll admit to watching a few of those pseudo 80s compilations, some of them do take me back to the future!

This one was a particularly good compilation and worth listening to from end to end as long as you can withstand the 80s endless driving vibe. The visuals are quite good too.

At that time I used to drive a Maserati Biturbo that had the sharp-edged 80s looks and the power to go with it. The music is well suited to driving in the rain on any endless motorway.

Stumbled across this one.
It's just....EPIC.

to quote a comment:
though, for some unfathomable reason after listening to this, i want to declare war on someone for no reason at all......

I'm at the office with no earbuds but mental note to crunk up Manowar in the car.

IF you have any way to download it: Do it, and crank it up in your car.
Pretty much everyone across the board agrees, that this is one of those rare occasions, where the cover is better than the original (as blasphemous as it may sound)

**Zvoni** · May 2nd, 2024, 07:55 AM

Since i rediscovered Billy Boyd's "The Last Goodbye" recently, the YT-Algorithm recommended this one to me:

Billy Boyd - "The Last Goodbye" - Phedora (rock cover) - The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Very nice. The Guitars sound slightly like U2, but i like it!

**Peter Porter** · May 9th, 2024, 07:43 AM

Nina Hagen's song "Naturträne" is pure insanity!

Love it when it goes heavy!

Other occasions: Last Kiss by Pearl Jam, Sound of Silence by Disturbed, Word Up by Korn.
Those are just some that come to mind immediately.
Not better - It's My Life by No Doubt over Talk Talk.
Equally as great - Hard Sun by Indio or Eddie Vedder.
I dated someone who either like the cover better than the original or vice versa, opposite of what I liked.
We are no longer together, needless to say!

yeah, but i did write: rare occasions

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Papparazzi - Exit Eden

as for Word Up: i prefer the Version of GUN over Korn

**sapator** · May 21st, 2024, 03:36 AM

Another cover that is better:
Judas Priest - Diamonds and rust

And I guess, although I don't listen to that type of music the one on the bodyguard, what it's called, I always love you or something like that.

**techgnome** · May 21st, 2024, 07:55 AM

Not a cover, but right now I'm listening toe George Benson singing "On Broadway"/

Yes, I had no intention of hijacking the thread topic to covers, just wanted to say a few words.
On Broadway - great classic tune! Enjoy it :-)

**Zvoni** · May 22nd, 2024, 04:20 AM

Since we took a small detour regarding Covers.....
Still one of my favorite Covers
Karlo Horvat - Skin (Metal Cover of Rag'n'Bone Man)

Freya Riding's Lost without You

The daughter of an old friend of mine that I haven't seen in years, lost touch. Lovely bloke. Daughter lovely too, clearly.

**jpbro** · Sep 26th, 2024, 09:35 PM

@yereverluvinuncleber - what do you think of the The Cure's new song?

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Sep 27th, 2024, 07:02 AM

You know me too well JB. Am I that transparent?

I do love it when an old beloved band releases a new track.

All Cure tracks have a lovely long intro and I do like that. Some Cure songs you have to hear and hear again in order to like, especially some of their later stuff, many of theirs just reach out and grab you the first time you hear them. This, unfortunately for me, is one of the former. I'm still listening and I love Robert's voice as it pops in as it just takes me home. The song doesn't have that familiar strong underlying and catchy riff that the best of Cure tracks have...

Reserving judgement at the moment but initially not as impressed as I'd prefer to be.

This one, for me, has the same tone but is musically superior.

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Sep 27th, 2024, 07:09 AM

I suppose I like the Cure's trademark Bass line and without that being the dominant theme I tend to lose interest. This track has it all for me, at times sad and at times uplifting, haunting and engendering the resurrection of deep memories of poignant loss. An emotion in music.

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Sep 27th, 2024, 07:15 AM

This is another of those 'big' tracks as far as I am concerned and a performance that really draw one in.

**Zvoni** · Sep 27th, 2024, 07:21 AM

This Weekend i'll probably go through the new Nightwish-Album.

Won't be easy, at least according to the first song they released some months ago.
The Mix of the "Vocals" was just..... weird

**Peter Porter** · Sep 28th, 2024, 11:18 AM

Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou

The last time I heard this song was about 40 years ago. It was originally song by Roy Orbison, but I love Linda's cover of it.

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Oct 6th, 2024, 09:03 AM

Not a track any of you are likely to have encountered, unless I have posted it here before.

It is just a good track to dance round the kitchen to. Quite long enough to break a sweat if you are vigourous enough. If you know your dance tracks and can also dance yourself then you'll detect a good underlying repetetive beat for you to latch onto.

Needs BASS and VOLUME.

**yereverluvinuncleber** · Oct 18th, 2024, 05:05 AM

An oldie but a goodie.
