Norm Peterson Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) OK, Imma gonna kick some ass with this one: "Road to Shambala." Original version by BW Stevenson (who also recorded the original "My Maria" redone by Brooks and Dunn.) One week later, (re)done by Three Dog Night in the kickass version.

aphilso1 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I would like to rescind my previous submission and replace it with this beauty. Do you wish the boy band era of the 90's never happened? Would you prefer to remember the songs as a modern funk rendition instead? If so, then you're welcome. Here's Scary Pockets' cover of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want it That Way." I will not sully this board by posting the original. You know you know it.

aphilso1 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Frankly, these guys are good at purging your brain of all bad 90's pop music. Need to delete N' Sync from your brain? Here ya go: Wish Britney Spears never happened? You can thank me later: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmykc Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Wow, I never realized that Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels were covering "Devil with the Blue Dress". Just heard the original Shorty Long version and have to say it is much better. sure wish my ebay would work. mwm89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49r Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I'm not tanking. Here's a two-fer tuesday! There are dozens of really great covers of "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden (1994) Including probably my favorite version by Steve and Eydie (1997) But THIS version by Peter Frampton is probably the most kick-ass version (2011) which - naturally - includes him using the talk box at 3:50: Edited July 31, 2019 by 49r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipsucks Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 We have a tie. Fred 1212's All Along the Watchtower and Norm's Shambala each received 6 votes. I've decided what we'll do for the tie-breaker, but I won't start it until both Fred and Norm acknowledge they've tied for the win.
