Unless it was Deacon Blue, I refuse to believe that this cover version is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Speaking of Ska Hell I quite like Skatune Network's covers. A bit hit and miss but if you don't think their version of Mr. Brightside isn't far superior to the original you're probably a boring b*****d 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brightside is currently number 78 in the UK singles chart. It's been bouncing around the lower reaches of the Top 100 since 2004. This means that there are large chunks of the UK population who are unaware that The Killers are shite. These people walk among us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Jimmy Cliff & it is my will that when I disappear behind the cremation curtain, the song will be Many Rivers to Cross. The Madstock version of The Harder they Come is magnificent, especially the wah wah guitar and bass solo towards the end but I see where you are coming from, if anyone said UB40's version of the aforementioned song was better, I would properly lose my shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't say that this is better than the original, but it's pretty cool to see I Feel Love played live on a rack of moduler synths..
