It can be a band or artist.

We can do more that one band, and I have many favourite bands, but if using embeds, please keep it to no more than three per posts. The idea is to try to list a cover version you like of a song you like by the band, a cover by the "fave" band or artist of another band/song you like, and a fave song of the band.

If you to or can only do two of these fields, that's fine.

I'll start with Swans. It's been a very important band to me, and tomorrow my time-zone on May 30th, its newest, Birthing, will by officially released. In places like Australia and New Zealand it already has been released

"Killing For Company" (a cover of Swans by Tempers)



"Love Will Tear Us Apart" (a cover of Joy Division by Swans)



"Helpless Child" (Swans doing Swans)

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I know that cover kinds of topics tend not to be very popular here. I can find covers really interesting and have posed here at PA the idea that some here might like cover material of a band where they are not into the band for certain reasons.

By the way, I tend to "google" search things, which might take me to Reddit or whatever, but this site can be useful for such things (one can look up both what a band covered and what others covered of that band, but it is more limited than I would like): https://www.whosampled.com/ And I hav used Second Hand Songs before https://secondhandsongs.com/ and searching youtube.

Here is Steven Wilson covering "Stonegage Dinosaurs" by Cardiacs:



Here is Cardiacs covering "Susannah's Still Alive" by The Kinks.



And here is the Cardiacs song that got me into Cardiacs done by Cardiacs, "Dirty Boy"

Robert Wyatt's Anja Garbarek-cover is so achingly beautiful it brings a tear to my eye.



This Secret Chiefs 3 cover of Ananda Shankar is rather close to the (brilliant) original, but it sure packs a punch - which makes a difference



I'm much more a fan of Susanne Sundfør than Röyksopp (but I do like them quite a bit), and probably because of her voice alone, I think this Depeche Mode-cover is a lot stronger than the original

^ I love Wyatt's version of "Stay Tuned" (and Comicopera is one of my favourite albums by him, all are below Rock bottom for me, but RB is such a masterpiece).

If I were covering or doing Robert Wyatt (which I would have as one of my favourites as an artists and for covers), which I will here...

The Unthanks cover of Robert Wyatt's "Sea Song" (Rachel Unthanks has several great covers)



Robert Wyatt covers Peter Gabriel's "Biko"



And Robert Wyatt doing Robert Wyatt with "Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road":



Note: I prefer Wyatt's cover of "Stay Tuned", but much like mentioning Steven Wilson before, Gabriel is a very big name in PA and so I wanted to mention that cover.

And I know Portishead is not in PA (although i think Third in particular is on the prog spectrum, or prog related/adjacent) but here is

Here is Portishead doing "SOS" by ABBA.



Here is My Dying Bride (which is in PA) doing "Roads" by Portishead:



And here is Portishead doing Portishead with a song ("The Rip") that has been very special to me:

I want to do Stereolab now:

Here is Stereolab's "One Note Samba / Surfboard" (with Herbie Mann on flute) which covers "Surfboard" by Roberto Menescal and "Samba de Uma Nota So" by João Gilberto.



Here is Visioneers cover of Stereolab's "Come And Play In The Milky Night":



And here i a favourite of mine by Sterelab done by Stereolab ("Ticker-Tape of the Unconscious"):

Hi,

No tears for Stackridge (or the Korgis?).
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
