Covers

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Red Hot Chili Peppers did a cover of Looking Glass's "Brandy" that was pretty awesome. Never did it on a studio album that I can recall, the one I have was off of the Live in Hyde Park album. Primus did a cover of Floyd's "Have a Cigar" that I'm a big fan of too.

I can't say either of these is "better" than the original, but I'm a fan of both. The one song I can think of that I genuinely liked better than the original was Frightened Rabbit's cover of My Brother Tom the Green Beret by The Philistines Jr. Alot of that can be attributed to the fact that Scott Hutchinson from F.R. has a voice that could sing Old McDonald and it would still crush your soul and make you want to drink scotch until you died in an alleyway behind a seedy bar.

Also, anybody ever who covered Belle and Sebastian. I love Belle and Sebastian's songs, but I cannot fricking stand Belle and Sebastian for some reason.
