proof is in the pudding for me on that one: I have never heard a cover of U Got the Look or Starfish and Coffee I could stomach but I would fight-n-die for the originals.

that just seems like a really odd song to pick to cover, kind of like saying "I have the perfect Madonna song to cover: 'Jimmy Jimmy'!"

i think it's kinda more that pretty much every single prince song off his major albums has gotten a barrage of covers.god save me from the bob belden album

i tried to find a decent and/or funny cover of The Cross on youtube but they are all ehhhh...
thought the one by died pretty might be good cuz they were okay but their version just ends up sounding like bruce springsteen.

in the 70's a band would get the chance to maybe put out one album in their career and the four members of that band would have, like, 50 years of combined music experience in 50 different bands. and now there is vampire weekend. shit happens.

well there have always been a dozen short-lived footnotes for every career artist -- how does that make the 70s different from now (sorry i don't know what the original thread this statement was made on, i'm probably missing some key context)
― some dude, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it was something about how people in the past would hone their abilities and pay their dues and learn many different styles over a period of years and post-punk this changed and post-internet it changed even more. something like that.

The thing is that right now the public cares more about Cheryl and Ashley or Kate and Wills. Phone hacking – a complex business, difficult to condense into a snappy paragraph, not black and white, might land some connected people in trouble, therefore #notagoodstory.
