I think you'll be playing against yourself again, then!

I love a good cover - and by "good", I mean it adds something. There's no point in just mimicking what has already been done. So my first offering is from a band that most people have, probably, never heard of: Easy Star All Stars. These guys are 'cover experts'. I don't mean a tribute band. They take classic albums and make reggae versions of them. i.e.:
- Dub Side Of The Moon
- Radiodread (OK Computer)
- Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band
- Easy Star’s Thrillah
What they have done, is musically awesome and always makes me smile. They are brilliant and crazy. It would be impossible to pick a favourite, (my top 10 covers would be mostly their tracks), but to give you a taste, here's one on their gems:
Paranoid Android - YouTube[^]
Replacing the manic guitar solo, with a manic trumpet solo is pure genius - particularly as they have managed to retain the 7/8 time signature bars. Yes, reggae in 7/8.
Hoping these crazy reggae guys make you smile too.

In a list like this you still need to have Dread Zeppelin[^].
They have at least three different versions of stairway to heaven

Haha. Awesome.

I totally agree that a cover is not good unless it adds something.
I really like Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's Turn the Page. In fact I think it's better than the original.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I like PMJ (Post-Modern Jukebox), they make jazz versions of modern songs.

PMJ are pretty good. Many of their covers I prefer to the originals.

That's often depending on their singers. Like Haley Reinhard for example. She can lift many songs to a new level.

Haley is one of my favourites. They have Morgan James who is ok on a couple of songs but you can feel she is straining sometimes or a bit shouty when she is trying to project power - but usually fails and ends up being screechy. Haley is always good along with several others whose names escape me.

When I think cover, I always think of "All Along the Watchtower", where many people don't know who wrote/sang the original.

Finally stepped away from the amorphous synthy things for a bit and went rockier. Sort of.
So, if you want to see/hear me play guitar, bass, keyboard, velcro, baby-wipes container, and mouth...

It is a VERY NICE beginning, but in my opinion it needs to be changed up about the minute or two mark so it isn't as repetitious as it is. My gut says to put in a fast guitar riff or something, and/or a really thumping drum part to stand out. Later, you could slow it down, to give it even more variety. Of course, this is just my opinion. I LOVE the sounds you made! Fantastic!

Yeah, I went looking for a guitarist to add some flavory solo to it. But Adrian Belew is busy doing other things, so...
|
|
|
|
|
It's still better than any music I've made, so good job for that! 
|
|

|
|
Thank you.
Next up...I'll sing. If I don't chicken out. But I have to do it early in the morning while I still have my Barry White voice.
