ten great (well, I hope so) cover versions.

i don't get this cover of Good Vibrations -- so far it's nothing more than a note-for-note recreation, down to the harmonies and theramin. It's pretty much a perfect song anyway, so why this exact cover?

BOS2: Broooce goes to "War"

I don't disagree; and that was pretty much the critical line on it at the time.

BOS to Springsteen's War. He's channeling a little Tom Jones here, don't you think?
Good God, y'all, great production on this one.
"War -- whoa a-whoa a-whoa-yeah!"
-
VHM VH, one of the only covers of "Dancing in the Streets" that I can get behind.
-
another BOS to VH:

BOS3 JCM, "Under the Boardwalk", one of many terrific B-sides he issued in the '80s.
-
Holy Flaming Mother of Pop (Argot)! Deep Purple's "Kentucky Woman"!! BOS4 and OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Week
-
Almost bought a JCM greatest hits yesterday at Amoeba for $3. I don't have any of his stuff, but I am gaining an appreciation for some reason these days. I think it's b/c of you, Mike. You often give him a HM or BOS and I think it's affecting my outlook!
but not really a fan of this one .. yet.

Richie's solo here is a trip. Psychadelic!
And check out that organ on John, Lord!

I may have told this story before, but: Like many I didn't truly appreciate JCM until Scarecrow, which arrived with Springsteen's seal-of-approval (he had told some critics who had written JCM off as a wannabe that "this kid is really better than that", to which Robert Christgau replied "OK but Mellencamp better not call me next year to say the same thing about Bryan Adams"). During the one-two punch of Sacrecrow and Lonesome Jubilee he has some swell B-sides, like this and also a cover of JB's "Cold Sweat".
-
"toejam football": ewwww. And what exactly is an "Ono sideboard"? Still, VHM Aerosmith, one of the few worthwhile Beatle covers from the abysmal SPLHCB flick.
-
BOS Molly Hatchett, whose singer has always sounded like he's got some hamburger stuck in his throat.
sounds a little like Grover from Sesame Street

not recognizing this cover of "I've Got Dreams to Remember" -- barely recognized the song itself.

Bwhahaha! I'd've never identified this -- thanks! I was gonna guess Black Crowes just 'cause it's an Otis Redding song, but it didn't really sound like them.

it's called Dreams I'll Never See -- Allman Bros wrote it. (eta: specifically, Gregg Allman wrote it)

wow, thanks again. it has the phrase "I've Got Dreams to remember" and so I assumed it was (a radical reworking of) the Otis tune.
Petty and the Goat? I'd've preferred the Ramones' version of "Needles'n'Pinza"
-
BOS5 Stones workin' they 'magination. One of my favorite Motown covers, even if Mick saying "what about... 2 girls fo' me?" is a tad creepy.
