The queen of rock Joan Jett - I want to be your dog

https://youtu.be/Ks-JBOOtPAo

I'm not convinced that Joan Jett and Iggy Pop are 2 separate people
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

Just heard this utterly wonderful reggae version of Michael Jackson’s Don’t Stop on 6music...

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', the Scandi-Noir cover version

Similarly, her cover of the Kiss classic Crazy, Crazy Nights becomes a wrist-slitting affair set to a haunting voice

Angelique Kidjo has recorded her take on the whole of Talking Heads' Remain In Light. And it is truly magnificent...

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

NIN covering Bowie at the Albert Hall last night. One of the highlights of an awesome show, a very moving tribute.

I always had a soft spot for Life of Agony's super-faithful cover of Tangerine:

I was reminded that Hotel California was the sound of the long hot summer of 1976, and that it's reggae-influenced. So a French reggae cover is appealing in the current climate. It's brave to cover the guitar duet as a solo, but who has two lead players?

Not quite my cuppa but brave right enough. Wonder why they changed to the third person - maybe because if it's in the first person and you can never leave, how do you get back to write the song?

Thin Lizzy were a twin lead guitar band as well. Loads of NWOBHM bands like Def Leppard and Iron Maiden had / have twin leads.
Steely Dan also did a lot of twin lead stuff.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

DJ Random played me Tortoise's cover of David Essex' "Rock On" this afternoon.  That was a bit odd.
