^ & ^^ Oh, I actually think moshkito's post was rather ironic, since he normally defends (new) interpretations of old(er) compositions (I remember some of his posts, where he was maybe more talking about dead composers, but I guess that's also valid for the still living) and whether Mozart, Stravinsky or even Boulez are not composing anymore but rather decomposing, their music - fortunately - is still played/interpreted. Now, Dylan is still alive IFAIK, but would that prevent others from interpreting his songs? No, fortunately not. And I think Mosh is alright with that too!

That said:
1. MMEB did a much better job than Dylan himself, actually (which happened more often!).
2. I never cheat (unless I do...).
3. It's my poll!

However, you forgot Mike Keneally's "Father's Day". Wink

Oh, it's worse, actually: I had Keneally's track on my long-list (as I had, e.g., Mogwai's My Father, My King), but I didn't want to make the list - and especially the playlist, for that matter - too long, and since Father's Day is only in six months or so... Sorry... Tongue
(but there can never be too much Zappa, indeed!)

Hi,

I was thinking that this should be excluded, for cheating. It's a Bob Dylan song!!!

MM did a Bob Dylan song in every album until he did Bruce Springsteen in his next album. Later he went back to doing Bob though he also did Mike Heron and others.



So what ?

MMEB had a gift to do covers and make them sound their style, a lot of them more enjoyable for many than the original songs. 


Hi,

Gosh ... wasn't meant to be taken literally!

Definitely agree on MM's taste in a lot of these pieces. He made them all sound better and more interesting, except Mike Heron, who continued to stay incognito. Wish his album "Diamond of Dreams" would get released. Looking for it again!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

'Mother' from The Wall - I particularly love the way Sinead O'Connor sang it at the 1990 show in Berlin.
