Okay, today's HOT TOPIC...

Post your answer to this question...

What song remake can you think of that doesn't detract or ruin the original version?

I'll start...George Benson's remake of On Broadway which I think was originally done by the Drifters...

PARTY ON WAYNE!!

@Madken65 Really depends on what you think detract or ruin means. I think it's wholly subjective. I can think of covers I prefer to the original but other people would think ruin it.

@Graci

Screw those others, I wanted your opinion...

One man's ceiling opinion is another man's opinion floor.

@Madken65 Ok then. I think Johnny Cash's "Hurt" takes the NIN original in a totally different direction, adding the sound and viewpoint of someone at the end of their life to a painful song. More reflective.

@Madken65 Let's add these, while we're at it
Linda Rondstadt - You're No Good
CSNY - Woodstock
Talking Heads - Take Me To the River
The Highwomen - The Chain
Bettye LaVette - Love Reign

@Madken65 Oh! I would add this little gem.

Sarah Blackwood (Walk off the Earth), Emily Bones, Jenni Dreager (Pleau)

@Madken65 I'll stop going down this rabbit hole now, This is a wonderful casual cover of Pat Benatar
