embankment Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Disturbed’s covers of Land of Confusion ( Genesis) and Sound of Silence ( Simon & Garfunkel). The best covers ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me, that's my most hated cover version of all time. When you compare it to the pounding,breathless original that i was dancing to as a kid it just pales into insignificance.The Soft Cell cover was just camp electronic pish imo. Here we go, it takes me back to 1974 and it's Wigan Casino on a sweaty Saturday all nighter with 2000 pilled up teenagers having the best time of their fucking lives. Happy days, if i could have one night of my life back - that's where i'd be. Or maybe Ewood in 1978.

A bit off the wall - but if you're going to cover a classic then at least do something different with it! Absolute horseshit. Stephen Hawking would have done a better version than that.

I'm with you, the original is top and obviously the best version as are most originals. The soft cell version fitted in at the right time, 80's synth and all that, unfortunately never went to Wiggin Casino, know a lot who did though, I was probably to into punk than Northern soul, now I embrace both. Punk and Northern Soul are my 2 fave genres, i don’t think there’s many of us that are into that combo 😂 3 hours ago, Rudy said: I love every version of tainted love, Glorias, soft cell, Marilyn mansons Don’t forget Ruth Swans version - recorded more than 10 years after GJ's, not as good as Glorias, but better than Soft arse cells effort imo as it sticks to the soul theme.

kent_white Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I've not re-listened to this for years. And it almost seems like a cliche to post it. But I really appreciate how iconic this is listening to it back with 40 odd year old ears. Just so cleverly put together and with a haunting quality from a band who's usual sound was a million miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great shout I’d forgotten all about this Kurts voice really suited acoustic guitar even more poignant now Bowie has passed as well.
