There are a lot of songs I would love to cover but don't feel like I could touch, even by giving them some kind of different spin. There is something about the SOUND of the record that you can never recreate or make better. It's why there are so few covers by The Who - can you name me three besides Jerk.I.Is? And why there are so MANY Dylan covers. His recordings basically sound like trash so it's easy to polish them into a gem (see Hendrix All Along the Watchtower for starters).<br /><br />And then there are some (like Stairway) that just shouldn't even be considered for a cover. Don't even point. Nope, you've seen enough of that one.

My post on the topic says more: <a href="http://musicddm.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-musical-worlds-collide-5.html" rel="nofollow">When Musical Worlds Collide #5</a> but in summary, I don't think that someone doing a cover of Stairway To Heaven is <i>automatically</i> a bad thing. However, when you mess with a classic like Stairway, it is <b>MUCH</b> easier to make it worse than to do something new and interesting! Having said that, I am not confident that MJB will have pulled it off.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15785348.post-46184913206637327432010-02-17T22:32:07.093-05:002010-02-17T22:32:07.093-05:00Damn it!

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO RECORD THIS SONG. And for her and those wanna-be "musicians" to desecrate this song should be illegal. Sure, its been overplayed more than any song in history, but there's a reason for that...its classic. Its sacred! You don't fuck with Stairway to Heaven!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
