The problem with singers covering other singers' songs (...if that makes sense) is that I now have three separate versions of We Will Rock You on my iPod - and I don't even like the song that much.

On the plus side, I have finally bought a cd of John Farnham's greatest hits.
This being John Farnham, his "greatest hits" span several decades, so I get to listen to all the tiny subtle ways his voice has changed... over forty years. The music-geek part of me is having a ball.




In other news, I woke up this morning with an inexplicable desire to write a J.K.Rowling RPF, with her managing to prevent spoilers for Deathly Hallows leaking out by using Obliviate charms on all the editors...

I love covers. A good cover is one of my favorite things. I have 4 versions of more than a few songs.

Really?

I have a couple of covers when I like the cover version better than the original, but for the most part they're not something I'm into...

I find it enlightening when done correctly...

Let's see, I own several versions of "Blackbird", Coconut Song", "Superstar", "All Along the Watchtower", "Long Black Veil",and too many others to count.
