Never heard it before.
Even forgive the guitar player for putting a capo on an electric.

7/10

Just really good for something that is really not my bag. The Funk stylings of the bass line and the saxophone accompaniment with the young Rock and Roll era vocals really sounded more 50's to me than late 60's, which I reckon is why I was not horrified by it. Despite the classic style, some modern guitar work made it feel fresher than another Buddy Holly or Elvis tune. The hair is completely and utterly ridiculous, which makes the viewing more enjoyable.


Genre: EBM (Synthpop)

Genre: Funk
Year: 1985
Band: James Brown (USA)
Song: Living in America

I will warn you all right now, there is only one god damn correct score for this one!

5/10 too raw chasing the mass appeal.

Mr Brown holding his own with Mr Pavarotti ... :ride

8/10

I believe you mean Luciano holding his own with Mr. Brown, and I would reckon just barely. I give the song 6 for being worse than the original, but 2 points for the epic nature of both titans sharing a stage.

Genre: Motown R&B
Year: 1966
Band: The Temptations
Song: Ain't too proud to beg

Catchy tune, but crying, begging, and sleeping on your lover's doorstep all night, in an attempt to convince them not to leave you, is very poor relationship advise.

Rainbow Girls
(Gonna see them this weekend)

Didn't realize that the red headed stepchild (metal) post was overlooked. I'd rate it as 4/10, most metal does not do much for me.

Edit: Would increase to a 6/10, if the vocals were removed.

Townes Van Zandt
(Song starts at about 50 seconds into clip)

It is a cover song, so other bands doing their version of it is likely, not familiar with the original performer, Alvin Robinson. The Rainbow Girls are playing at the Saint in Reno this friday as part of the Off Beat Music festival. Going to have to keep an eye open for that movie, Blaze, looks interesting!

Not a big fan of opera, appreciate the skill and talent needed so 6/10

I know John will like this, Eldrich, probably not so much. I've been listening to Southern Rock lately, always was a fan of the Black Crowes
