What’s your favorite song remake?

I really like both versions of this song.
:)
Two legends for sure.

Excellent:)

I like Willie, but I have to agree with your choice.

I like the original by Bob Segar, but I like Metallica’s version better. I like the hard rock sound to it. It better suits the song’s meaning. One of the rare occasions the video was as good as the song.

I like the original, too. Quite liked Metallica a lot, too.

One of my favorite vocalists. I was big into the grunge rock explosion. Sadly all but one of my favorite grunge singers but one are deceased. Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, and Scott Weiland. Such a shame. I had never heard this before. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this. It shows how talented Chris was to sing a song like this compared to Soundgarden’s sound.

Mine, too. I wasn't really into the grunge scene, but learned of Chris during his Audioslave days (thanks to my son, in fact). 

Glad you enjoyed it! And long live Eddie Vedder! 

I was close to being a teenager when the grunge scene exploded and I was really picking up an interest in music at that time. I love Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots. I liked some of Soundgarden’s stuff, but always loved Chris’s voice. The one grunge band I hate is Nirvana. Kurt Cobain was a hypocritical douchebag, is the single most overrated songwriter, and musician ever. The one bright spot of Nirvana was Dave Grohl and him forming the Foo Fighters. 


And yes, long live Eddie Vedder. His politics drive me nuts, but he is down to earth, is true to music, he’s true to his fans, he does a lot of charity work, and he loves/appreciates his fans. This post was edited by Rizz at September 22, 2018 8:19 PM MDT

(For both Rizz and SavvyAnsley)
I liked this Cornell version, too. Like I said, I love the song -- all three versions, Prince, Sinead and Chris, are very successful for me. All three bring a strong yet understated power and dismay to the song. And all three do it in different ways.

I only became familiar with Alice in Chains' music years after Staley's death. I regret that. Staley's singing style and voice are unlike anything I've heard. I love his voice. And that album he made with other musicians from other bands, I believe? They went by the name Mad Season? Their "Above" album is, by far, my number one best album I've ever heard. From the opening note to the last song's conclusion - - simply perfection.

I'm always intrigued about musical taste. I don't like Staley's voice at all, I find it almost as intolerable as Axl Rose's. 

Lucky for all of us, there's no shortage of musicians and singers, right? :)

I’ll agree about Axl Rose. His voice has always been awful. We disagree about Layne. I always found his voice powerful and just magical. His voice was perfect for AIC.

I was a young mother when grunge came on to the scene. I was mostly listening to things like Barney and Friends and Sesame Street's Greatest Hits. =)

Pearl Jam wins in my book. As I'm sure you can guess, Eddie's politics don't bother me a bit. ;-) 

Nothing wrong with agreeing with him on politics. I don’t disagree with him on everything, but most of his political beliefs. I don’t want to go into details as we have more than enough political posts on here and this is about music. I will give Eddie and the boys props and respect for their charitable work. They are also down to earth, really love, and appreciate their fans. I still think Layne Staley had a better singing voice. Then again Eddie is pushing 60 with years of drinking, smoking cigarettes, and marijuana has weakened his singing voice. When he was younger he was amazing. He’s still a good singer, just not as good as he was. This post was edited by Rizz at September 23, 2018 11:19 AM MDT

Is he really pushing 60??? No way!!

Okay, I've consulted google and he's only 53. 53 is NOT pushing 60!! 58 or 59 is pushing 60! Even I know that, and I'm just barely not even pushing 50!!

My apologies. I was wrong with his birth year. *Facepalm*. I think I had his mixed up with another member of the band. This post was edited by Rizz at September 23, 2018 11:19 AM MDT

Am I allowed to say I like this song a LOT sung by Sinead O'Connor?
;)

I'm really tired at the moment to listen - - I've had Enigma playing all evening except for listening to people's posts and Enigma is perfectly fitting my sedateness -- and I'm zonked. But I like the song -- I like Prince's original, too. I will probably like Cornell singing it, too. It's a kicka** song for me all-around. I'll come back and listen another time.
:)

Of course you're allowed to say it! She is/was a gifted singer. 

I'm tired too. Have a good rest. :)
