They could've easily been another Mucky Pup/Blink 182 but instead became rock's nauseously adolescent middle fingered answer to snotty nosed pop bands like EMF and the lot. <BR/><BR/>But then again, without them there would be no Puddle of Mudd... which is actually a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, Cat's in the Cradle is by Cat Stevens. Clapton covered it. My bad.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Bernard: Sheryl Crow deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered. Not only for that previous crime of even THINKING of covering a Led Zep song (the only female singer guitarists that have actually succeeded improving on a Led Zep cover, in my humble opinion, were Heart, masquerading as The Lovemongers, when they covered Battle of Evermore so brilliantly on the Singles soundtrack album) BUT also for her acoustic sodomy of the GN'R's Sweet Child O' Mine! Really Axl, I mean we all know you needed some dough for those fookin horrible hair extensions but weren't the royalties enough? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Weiyin: Yup the JD movie control looks good actually. Check out the website here at http://momentum.control.substance001.com//. As usual, it'll be awhile before it reached our shores so I suggest downloading it via bit torrent sites.<BR/><BR/>senorita: Although we don't share similar music tastes, I do think FOB are one of the better pop bands out there now along with Good Charlotte in terms of pop music songwriting craft and melodies. However, I'd have to pass on their version of the Joy Division cover. Sorry, it's just lacking the soul and intent - sounds like they just got lazy (Damn! Hope I didn't come off sounding like that prick Simon Cowell!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227715324642254221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905869950878202286.post-64182713652049966012007-10-16T12:52:00.000+08:002007-10-16T12:52:00.000+08:00wei yin: Thanx fer that. unfortunately have yet to...wei yin: Thanx fer that. unfortunately have yet to see it in any of the DVD shops here.

In fact, I...I like the Joy Division version better. In fact, I think I've heard of this song before (pardon me but I'm quite clueless when it comes to Anfield's choice of songs). It's a lot more funkier. <BR/><BR/>The Susanna version - well, it's kind of haunting (as pointed out by some others) and really depressing. But I guess that's what she was trying to convey - the loneliness, longing and despair. Makes sense to be delivered in that manner. Her voice reminds me of Enya.weiyin69https://www.blogger.com/profile/02364386345402580487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905869950878202286.post-75554055183862823472007-10-13T11:19:00.000+08:002007-10-13T11:19:00.000+08:00Bernard: Yes, me wifey pointed out that as well.

Sabbath's Supernaut never sounded more ferocious after given the 1000 Homo DJ's spin. Nirvana's splendid unplugged rendition of the Meat Puppets' Plateau come a close 3rd while Ugly Kid Joe's cover of Clapton's Cats in the Cradle remains a firm favorite.<BR/><BR/>Hey you guys have just inspired me throw a 'covers' party!
