Your vote for greatest (covers) album


Mine is Annie Lennox "Nostalgia". Not only is she one of the greatest female voices ever, she knows how to make a song her own.

Why was (covers) in parenthesis in the first place?

Why not just say: Your vote for greatest album of covers?

Bowie’s 1973 Pin Ups must be worth a mention.

Always liked his version of ’Sorrow’.



Sid Vicious’ 1979 Sid Sings is a fun live album.

The Mona Lisa Twins, whom I just discovered while listening to as many versions of Brian Wilson’s "God Only Knows" as I could stand. The Twins---two sisters, true twins, from Austria, and my favorite new musical discovery in a long time---do the best cover of it I’ve ever heard. In one way I like it better than the original by The Beach Boys: no Mike Love. ;-)

I listened to a bunch of The Twins YouTube videos, and they are a trip! They have a bunch of albums listed on Amazon, all real expensive for some reason. Have to do some investigating. I think I’m already in love with the blonde. Apparently John Sebastian likes them a lot, too: he joins them on their video of his Lovin' Spoonful song "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind."

"Sid Vicious’ 1979 Sid Sings is a fun live album."
I have not heard that album, but Sid Vicious in My Way is the top.
