I much prefer David Bowie's version of "God only knows" to the insipid and annoying Beach Boys version. That might be an unpopular viewpoint though. The album that it's from is utter crap (the Bowie one) and I do actually quite like Pet Sounds all in all. But I do prefer the Bowie interpretation, he's a much better singer of this song.

If you bothered to read my post, I said Duran Duran had "No business doing that cover"...so unless you really liked Duran Duran's cover of that CLASSIC then there's no reason to get mad at me.

Dont worry this will get him back Fenster!

He loves Jethro Tull dont you Lyle

Listen to this and tell me it isnt a masterful remake of Bach's 'Suite in E Minor for Lute'.

Two very rare ones the writer Carl Perkins playing it.

And very rare Ozzy and Sabbath doing it. Listen to Tony Immoni going off on lead.

Sorry Fenster, The Darkness rocked that song out

Andre, no thank you, a lot of people like Ozzy and all but he shouldn't cover that. Jethro Tull is crap

[CGM]

The Animals version of House of the Rising Sun outdid the earlier Bob Dylan version by quite a bit.

[Phil]
