These today can't f***ing sing lol Some great bands about today mate.. Catfish and the Bottleman Wunderhorse Nothing but Thieves (what a voice that boy has!) I love all my old music, big 90s fan... Bruce Springsteen would be my desert Island pick as he is alongside Bob Dylam probably the best songwriter/lyricist ever imo... oh and Jarvis, f**k he can wrote a line! Raye is a great modern singer as well, beautiful voice and she comes across as a great girl, very much like a new Amy Whinehouse... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saw him live in 98 at Glastonbury. He was bloody brilliant.. Acid or no he was great lol. Best entertainer I ever saw live.... Robbie Williams (same year at Glastonbury). He was as off his head as I was but Jesus could he get the crowd going. Finished that weekend with Pulp, again fantastic artists and Jarvis got the crowd going even though it was the Sunday night and the end of the festival. Anyone going to Glastonbury, check out the Hare Krishna tent lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah amazing, without doubt one of the most talented musicians/song writers of all time...but... Dylan is not the musician of Prince, he is a lyricist a poet, who can write a hook... I think Stiffy is alluding to Dylan having an inferior back catalogue which is wrong...Dylan songs are covered more than anyone (probably)...I know Stiffy hates Dylan though...think Noel is a better song writer lol Edited July 23 by NEWKID 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 28,625 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 OK off the top of my head people who have covered Dylan songs... Rolling Stones Guns and Roses Adele Jimi Hendrix Johnny Cash Cher (for that alone Stiffy should love him! Lol) Dolly Parton Joan Baez The Byrds I don't know stats but I'd guess he is up there with the most prolific song writers of all time... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 28,625 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I gave in, I had to Google...f**k me everyone had either had a song written for them or covers Dylan! 600 covers of his songs have been released.. George Harrison, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix covered 5 of his songs!, Elvis, The Clash, Jeff Buckley... When you talk of back catalogues and impact on artists, yeah Dylan is up there!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seagull 731 Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons sang a lot of songs that were later covered and were bigger hits than their original, Silence is Golden, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prince wrote Both the greatest cover of all time , and the most uncover able song of all time nothing compares 2 u and purple rain it took thirty years to get a good cover of purple rain and that was on X factor by a Spanish chick called Ruth lorenzo everyone else’s is an abomination, the song cannot be redone by anyone else 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
