G&R's version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door"
The Sundays version of "Wild Horses"
Manfred Mann's version of "The Mighty Quinn"
The Byrds version of "Tamborine Man"
Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower"

My fav are
Manfred Mann's version of Blinded By The Light
The Sundays version of "Wild Horses"
Goldfingers version of "99 Red Balloons"
Red Hot Chili Peppers version of "Love RollerCoaster"

Ah, we agree on the Sundays....I love that version! Who did the original of Blinded By the Light?

Bruce Springsteen did the original. He did it like a folk song. Just him and his guitar. The Sunday's version of Wild Horses is wonderful. It is so relaxing.

It really is! I have the vid of their's on Myspace as well as the song on my background player, I love her voice! Of course, it gives me strong imagery
when it plays cause it was the background music to one of my very favorite Buffy moments.

The Sundays were that band that was just eeking for stardom. All they needed was that one hit and they would have exploded. They came close a couple of times but nothing really caught on to the mainstream. However, since they weren't mainstream probably made them a better band.

Yeah, I love Harriett Wheeler's voice, the last I heard her and her guy (who I believe played guitar) were not doing anything musical...they had a couple kids I think.

I havent heard much from her at all. I wouldnt be surprised if they just sort of fade away (well I guess they almost have).

They were pretty good, founded by Dave Mustaine after he was booted from Metallica, I found them a bit too much for my taste!

Megadeath was OK. I like a few of their songs. But when you get that speed metal, I prefer Motorhead, Iron Maiden Gamma Ray and Slayer

I really like Metallica, but AC/DC is just awesome, especially live.

I can't believe somebody likes those two and Rush. I scramble for the dial when they come on the radio.

Between the two, I'd take Metallica. But I'd take Sabbath and Priest ahead of both of them.

I'll take Metallica but AC/DC can open up....

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

AC/DC
past, present and future!
Metallica was good before they got on thier high horse and came out against NAPSTER...after that they SUCKED!
and thier music even SUCKED! more!!!

[The Bid]

AC/DC no doubt
