MarigoldPuppyFlavors, in Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence (1964)

Nice to see the Lemmy music communities are following in the footsteps of reddit by posting nothing but lesser known, under appreciated le gems.

Haven’t heard number one hits for the ten thousandth time quite yet? Worry not, we’re conveniently gathering them all right here.

generalEdo, in Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song (1996)

Have been listening to fugees and Lauryn hill a lot lately. Thanks for the video

generalEdo, in Veruca Salt - Seether (1994)

Thanks for throwing me down the great 90s music rabbit hole.

jeffw, in Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (1967)

Super hot? Drops lots of acid? Hell yeah Grace Slick

Psythik,

Not a fan of her voice, though. Why did so many people from her era sound the way they did? I love old music but I don’t like old vocals. Was it the microphones? Poor-quality tapes?

Jaximus,

A combination of these as well as cultural trends. Most of our behavior is dictated by the social norms we encounter daily, it makes sense that the same holds true for the way we sound.

creation7758, in Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song (1996)

Personally, I prefer the Roberta Flack version

Maldreamer, in Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence (1964)

I have heard this and the Disturbed band version of it, i like the Disturbed one more,

staticblanket, in Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence (1964)

Timeless classic.

SinningStromgald, in Johnny Cash - Hurt (2002)

I say this is the best version of “Hurt”.

I think it’s ok to like both (the NIN original and this one). They are almost like different genres of music though.

JohnDClay,

Definitely a different genre is this choir arrangement. I really like it, but I don’t know my ranking of versions over all.

Wow, that’s really well done! I haven’t heard that before.

SinningStromgald,

That’s almost Gregorian chant like in execution. Very cool interpretation. Somehow though I feel they lost the penitent feelings the original and Cash versions have. They almost flipped to a Zen/meditative kinda song instead. Introspective but in a different way.

SinningStromgald,

Totally okay to like both (I do!). I just contend the Cash version is best.

tiredofsametab,

NiN is still the best in my opinion. I like the complexity and layering and the sounds used. Cash's cover is fine.

Spaghetti_Hitchens,

I believe that Trent Reznor liked Cash's version so much that upon hearing it, he stated that it's Johnny Cash's song now.

w2tpmf,

That's not exactly what he said or meant. If he really thought it was Cash's song now he wouldn't close EVERY SINGLE SHOW with it.

I wish NIN would let go of this song. There are much better songs in their catalog to close shows with.

Alto,

Not necessarily. Bob Dylan said something to the same effect regarding All Along the Watchtower and Jimi Hendrix and still played it.

Kbin_space_program,

As I recall Trent Reznor said that himself.about this version. Specifically that while he wrote it, after this rendition it's not his song anymore.

CaptainEffort,

This is a common misquote, Trent never said that Johnny’s was better. He simply said that what he was hearing wasn’t his song anymore.

Basically just expressing how impressed he was that Johnny Cash really made it his own, and didn’t just do a simple cover.

glimse,

In my opinion it’s significantly worse and only known because it’s Johnny Cash. He’s hardly singing and sounds bored half the time…compared to Trent reznor who sings passionately and varied. I’m not the biggest NIN fan but I think the original’s instrumental part is way more musically interesting to me, too. To each their own of course but I’m always surprised to see how many people love this version

Maestro, in Dio - Holy Diver (1983)

As a HEMA swordfighter this video is hilarious to me. It's one if the worst swordsmanship I've ever seen. Also, the way he grips that 1-handed sword as if it's a giant claymore 😂

Great music though!

Dude. Enough with the spam.

sorebuttfromsitting,

oh, I’m just trying to help make Lemmy relevant with a continuous flow of content! sigh. you can make your own niche, or channel, or something, I don’t know how it all works, @ChihuahuaOfDoom

stormtrooper, in Dio - Holy Diver (1983)

As much as I love this song, the intro is a bit long and slows down the pace when in a playlist. So I like the killswitch engage version as well. But nothing beats Dio. Fuck yeah

kratoz29,

I remember I cut the intro from the song… ahh those were the days when I used download media (?

I don’t know if there is a short version in Spotify or alike.

BluesF, in Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (1976)

Great song, although tbh by about verse 26 or whatever I’m usually ready for it to be be over 😂

Arigion, in Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy Hole (2019)
