Covers...
I am not a big fan of covers, most of the times I think the original songs are far better than the covers, but there are exceptions, one of my favorite songs (at this moment :P) is The Return of the Giant Hogweed played by Transatlantic, I liked it from the first time I heard the album The Whirlwind, and it was my favorite song from that album since the beginning, at first I didn't know it was a cover from Genesis, but when I read about it I couldn't help but search for the original song, and while it is not bad I must admit that I like the Transatlantic version a lot more. Same with the song A Salty Dog from Procol Harum, I really liked the Transatlantic version more than the original.

well I don't know how much time there is between them. But one of the main differences is the updated recording. So if there is a lot of time between the transatlantic and genesis versions, then it is almost just like an updated version. They didn't change a lot really, most covers radically change the song. This one, seems like they just stayed true to it...
ReplyDeletethis is kinda like the cover tool did of led zeppelin, it just sounds better but it stays true to the original version....it is rare that i like cover like those, i tend to like covers that completely change the song, like apc's imagine....but i do like the tool's no quarter....and i did like the translatic version better hahah...i wrote a lot and said not much.....sorry
