Of honest I have not heard many of this bands tracks.
First impression was that they sound similar to the original artist. So for me I’d rather listen to the originals. There were, so I’m told by my parents a number of collaborative albums in the 70’s and 80’s (ie Hot Hits etc.) which sort of sounded like the original artist but which could be purchased on the cheap.
For me, as said by Omeg and others, if you cover a number then at least put your own take on it. The group Yes’s America is one example. I love the original and equally so the cover by Yes.
Music is a mater of personal choice, it is about what you like and not following the crowd.
I like this cover Corrs with Ronnie Wood covering Little Wing .

Led Zeppelin were a good cover ,Plant did a great cover of Stevie Marriot singing Willie Dixon's You need Loving .
Then they changed the title to whoe lot of love and said they wrote it
My nom enjoyed listening to a bit of UB40 every once in a while. Yet since she passed away it seems to be just me these days as it's very trendy to slag them off.Quote:

I’m sure that the band in question are good musicians but I don’t go too much on covers bands. The problem is, though, that my favourite bands are mostly getting too old to tour anymore and are, in some cases, dead. One of my all time favourite bands was Little Feat, I’ve never heard of a cover band doing any of their stuff. I didn’t like the song they were doing in that link.
A year or two ago, I went to see a show at the Stables, ‘The Story of Guitar Heroes’. The performers were very good but I found it difficult to take it too seriously because the band leader was the spitting image of Mr Tumble! Believe me, I am no fan of Mr Tumble but when you have grandchildren, these things have to be experienced!
Glad you passed by too 68. 🙂Quote:
