The Sound (LA), 3/26/09: a Covers theme set
« on: March 26, 2009, 10:07:49 AM »
The Greatest Cover of All Time, Jimi's "All Along The Watchtower", not least because he got it out before the original.  Sorry, conflating memories there.  It was the Beatles that Jimi scooped, not Dylan.

Also used to great effect in both the graphic novel & the film Watchmen.

btw, All Along The Watchtower makes some appearances in the Watchmen.  Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl ...  when Nite Owl and Rorschach are coming up to Veidt's antarctic lair.

Their stream must be a minute or more behind their actual broadcast. Either that or their "now playing" engine is ahead of real time. Either way, I saw on the web when I loaded the player that tune #2 was gonna be Foo Fighters' take on Baker Street, sans Ravenscroft.

Baker Street is a gem of a song.  I understand they are paying homage to a great song, but I'm also kinda "meh" on it.

I'm digging it mostly because it's hard to believe this was requested & approved.

ETA: in case you missed the lead-in, Larry said he's been taking requests all morniing & rec'd hundreds.

The Sound must have a lot of sick f***s in their audience if they "weighed in heavily" for Last Kiss. Another HFH.

hmm, Pearl Jam and their HFH shows up...  the correlation b/c these "notable" covers and their sometimes crappiness is ponderous, man.

I wasn't following Battlestar Galactica, but accordingto wikipedia AATW also played over the closing episode of season 3, was referenced throughout season 4 with mulitple cover versions, and the Jimi version played out over the finale.  Might have to check that out at some point.
