Oooh, nice cut & paste. So you still found it pretentious?

I know. I was operating on your level.

At least you understood that.

You are getting worse. Make the effort or its your bedtime.

 

[The Large One]

You are getting worse. Make the effort or its your bedtime.

Effort? Effort is merely the forlorn excuse vulgarly banded about when trying to make the unreasonable seem justified and worthwhile.

Now go to bed yourself, you bombed-out headfuck.

Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in the town,
Sometmes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown.

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I`ll see you in my dreams.

 

[bhaexpress]

Best - ZZ Top, Viva Las Vegas

Worst (by a country mile) All Saints, Under the Bridge.

 

[coventrygull]

They also did excellent covers of Jolene and 1969.

Though I have to give it to Sir Johnny of Cash for Hurt and Personal Jesus.

Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil is also excellent

Personal Jesus by Johnny cash is Awful

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Best: Kiss's version of "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to you" much better than Argents original

worst:
Too many to mention.

 

[Cian]

theres some disgraceful cover of supertramp out at the moment. grrrr

Did you not get the memo, its the third bi-annual "slaughter supertramp summer", they needed another song to go alongside Ramp (The Logical Song) by Scooter

 

[Pevenseagull]

Personal Jesus by Johnny cash is Awful

in the same way as Candy Flip did the definitive version of Strawberry Fields Forever?
