Best & Worse of FM cover songs ( as recorded by others )

[Nicks Fan]

Tori Amos has covered a few FM songs in concert.The one's I know of are Dreams, Songbird, Landlside.

I also ahve to say that the Legacy Album just sucks. I wish someone would do a great covers album that actually does justice to the band. I could see Emmylou Harris or even Sarah Maclachlan covering Songbird. How about Melissa Etheridge doing Gold Dust Woman. She has that husky voice. I think the problem is allot of the songs have a personal meaning to the specific band members so It seems hard for other artists to capture that in a cover version of the song.

There is a cover of Melissa doing After the Glitter Fades. I believe it is a live recording.

Best cover I think is Dreams by The Corrs.

Worst: Dreams by Richie Havens.

Good:

Judas Priest's version of the Green Manalishi

Santana's version of Black Magic Woman

Bone Thug 'N' Harmony's use of The Chain

The Corr's version of Dreams

To each their own...other than Elton's version of "Don't Stop" and that God-awful trainwreck that is Duncan Sheik's "Songbird", the rest are pretty good, I think; although I HAVE heard better covers of a couple of songs ("The Chain" & "You Make Loving Fun" specifically)

This is just my personal opinion, but I am flat out not in interested in hearing anyone do Fleetwood Mac songs but Fleetwood Mac. Nothing is as good as the original as they say.

Do you feel this way about Santana's Black Magic Woman?
