Originally posted by Amor de Cosmos View PostFairport Convention's version of Dylan's I'll Keep It With Mine, is the definitive version for me. Certainly preferable to Judy Collins's, which was the first available. Dylan's own bootleg rendering, is... well, on a different plateau.
Although yes, Sandy Denny could probably make Kumbaya sound like a decent tune.

Even if not necessarily convinced they are actually better than originals. But take them in a different way which means am comfortable with them being reinterpretations. Unlike say Bauhaus Ziggy. Mad World would be one that is actually better than Tears For Fears original.

No, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!!! For starting the whole idea of the slowed-down, twee, mimsycore cover version it deserves to die slowly and painfully.

Hobbesian rightness.
As for your point, ale - yes, there was a lot of bad punk influenced by the Pistols, but also a lot of good so you have balance.
Whereas all twee mimsycore cover versions are shit. ALL OF THEM. Take a pair of scales and put a hundred sacks of manure on one end. That's the kind of balance they're bringing.
