If you love music you're not generally going to be listening to Radio London (you apart).Henry Irving said:Unsurprising response but the new version won on Radio London which did shock me.
Great chorus but on the original the drum sound is horrible, the singers voice is buried in the mix, not that I like his voice, and you can't hear the words.
And the cover really isn't Waitrose Xmas. There's more to it than that.1 -
Disagree. Robert Elms plays some great and varied stuff. And some jazz but you can't have everything.Covered End said:

Radio 6 too samey, radio 2, I'm not that old.1 -

Another vote for Joy Division, seems only the OP doesn't like them.
Ive always found music snobs get really aggressively upset when someone says they don’t like this song. “You don’t have any taste” “You don’t know music” etc. Piss off. I have my own opinion. I’ve never seen what’s supposed to be so good about it. There’s some interesting stuff in there, but it’s overshadowed by the dreary singing and other noises. Maybe I’m not appreciating some subtle nuances, but I don’t care, I still think it’s shit. And I’m pretty sure a lot of people think it’s good because they think they ‘should’ think it’s good.
Having said all that, if you like it - good for you.

Next up Led Zeppelin v Rolf Harris doing Stairway to Heaven 🤔

I saw them twice - Apparently it's sacrilege to say it, but one of the few bands I preferred recorded to live performance. In my opinion both albums and all their singles were so well produced that they could never be reproduced effectively live. That said Love Will Tear Us Apart sounded great live.thai malaysia addick said:Saw Joy Division play it live three times. Unbeatable.

Such an inventive composition...
For some reason it brings back to me the movie
'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'.
Why it never had a sequel0 -

I know you’re making a joke, but this is a (very mild) version of the typical music snob reactions mentioned.
“You must have no taste, I bet you like Abba/Take That/Spice Girls/*Any band that popular opinion tells me is shit although I secretly like some of their stuff but can’t admit it*”
My music tastes are diverse. I like what I find enjoyable. I don’t rate Joy Division much. It’s just a different view to yours, nothing more, nothing less.

Joy Division. NP cover was better than I was expecting. One of those songs I don't think people should cover (yes Paul Young,looking at you).
I only catch Robert Elms show occasionally but I do like it. He's a fan of music and so is his audience. I've discovered quite a few things from catching it - he's not afraid to play stuff wider than most mainstream radio presenters, mixing up soul, reggae, country and rock 'n' roll. A lot of the audience are ageing soul boys who didn't like Joy Division in 1981, so I'm not at all surprised that NP's version was more popular.0 -

Some of this is true about people needing to be told what and what not to like. But surely you can understand why many people hate bands like Abba and don’t need to be told that?lordromford said:Covered End said:

Don't remember where, but first I saw that video was in a museum, and only saw the shooting bit. Though it was real for ages! Vicious by nature!stonemuse said:

Back to covers, Rolf Harris' Stairway to Heaven wasn't great, but his Bohemian rhapsody was definitive:

If you talk to the average person about Stone Roses or The Smiths they wouldn't have a clue, but Abba or Take That would be much more well known.0 -
Joy Division.
That cover version is awful.1 -
Jesus wept I hadn’t summoned up the energy to listen to it before it truly is dire.1

Same here. Just listened.Alwaysneil said:Jesus wept I hadn’t summoned up the energy to listen to it before it truly is dire.
As I suspected though, it's just another in a long line of songs that have been "reinvented" by slowing and stripping them down and putting a dire, weak (normally female), vocal over the top that all sounds a bit insipid whilst trying to sound "vulnerable". Totally contrived. Totally shit.2 -
