Wow. SRV's Little Wing is my favorite guitar song of all time. It contains the best bend of all time, IMHO.

Sorry! I think it annoys me because I love Little Wing and it seems to me that SRV overplays it. There isn't always any logic to how we respond to songs. Music is all about emotions after all!

The Bad Wolves cover of Zombie always rubbed me the wrong way.

SRV does SRV. I think the two versions stand on their own: Jimi made it. SRV loves it. Nothing more.

BLASPHEMY! She is an untouchable national treasure in the veins of Dolly Parton and Betty White. She is a true ARTist and far more talented than any Liverpudlian she was ever associated with.

Jesus christ... People always think I must love JC since I'm a theory nerd and into prog and xenharmonic systems and everything, but man... everything this dude does is the most overstimulating, tasteless, jumble of twee that has no sense of self awareness or capability to edit down. The whole toxic positivity he-bjork persona doesn't help either.

Same- being a theory and JI nerd, even I thought I should like his music. But it’s way too smug, “cute”. I also find the videos patronizing- I don’t need a “get it?” eyebrow raise when you shift into the 31-limit dimension of a pitch lattice.

I was introduced to this song by this decidedly not-awful cover version…

But, back in the spirit of the thread, I give you the Dogshit Murphys absolutely butchering this Pogues classic…

Ooof! Happy to have been entirely ignorant of whatever genre of music this is until right now


Here’s a palate cleanser…

Way better fashion sense too…

Same. Sounds like a fine example of just because you could doesn't mean you should.

The Tori Amos one is awesome! One of my favorite EPs of all time. I wish my face was her piano bench.

 

[Gordo]

If Tori Amos farted into a microphone it would sound magic. She can do no wrong.

I'll see you and raise you this
