Mrs. Robinson by the Lemonheads

[Al Neri]

I may like that version better than Simon and Garfunkles...

go ahead flame me, my flame suit is on!

 

[mundane]

I feel the same way.

Evan Dando's band?

 

[Feldenak]

It's a good cover but certainly not better than the original.

I agree.
OP, how do you feel about the rest of the S&G catalog?

 

[Lola]

It is a very good cover. Two different sounds, both good.

I prefer the Bangles' version of Hazy Shade of Winter to the original, so I can't cast any stones.

Another good cover but I disagree...I think the original is still better.

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

I find it infinitely better than the original, and I'm not really a Pearl Jam fan.

I think it's one of the worst things Pearl Jam has ever recorded.

That and Fred Durst's cover of Behind Blue Eyes are perhaps two of the worst covers of all time.

I like both versions of Mrs Robinson... I'd still probably lean toward the original though.

The best cover (IMO) I've heard lately is Metallica's cover of "Turn the Page".

the original is one of the worst songs ever...

as my dad says "See, THAT was the competition that the beatles had"

 

[Al Neri]

im not a gigantic simon and garfunkle fan.

i do like a few songs, my favorite being hazy shade of winter (the bangels version sucks!), after that scarboro affair, 59 street bridge, late in the evening

now that i think of it i guess i like them more than i thought

i still like the lemonheads version of mrs robinson better =-O

 

[lizardboy]

I prefer the Dwight Yokam cover of "Suspicious Minds" to the original by Elvis.
