Joy Division - Ceremony
The live version off still is completely amazing and a million times better than the new order version, even with Curtis' mic only working for a few bars. It would'ave been amazing to hear a properly recorded version because the vocals sound so intense from what you can very faintly hear on Still.
the radiohead version of it is better than the new order one, "in my opinion".

Lacks something from the original, but its good.
yeah.
I wish Alkaline Trio would do a proper recording of
"Since You've Been Gone" (yes, the Kelly Clarkson song).

Little birds...
neutral milk hotel... breathtaking.
I love the demo I have of
"Stick to what you slip" by Future of the Left
Would love a proper version...
^^^NMH
Seconded. Good shout.
the smiths
s/t
Ceremony and Little Birds
Great choices.
I'd add the obvious, but NEEDED
...True Love Waits.
Oh yeah completely
The acoustic version is really sweet though.
what about their cover of
Nobody does it better?
What about The Long And Winding Road
John Lennon plays bass on that (badly) (probably on purpose)
good one

unicorns - haunted house
Where did you sleep last night
but it doesn't need to be properly recorded.
Elliott Smith - Another Standard Folk Song
Sometimes known as 'Crazy Fucker'.
Off Basement II.
Easyword "I Don't Expect You To Notice"
Approximately three people (at most) will probably agree with me.
Insania
Peter Andre- with Eno or some such at the helm it could have been a contender...
Lol
Across the universe
was fucking butchered.
Idlewild - Victory at Sea
I wonder why a recorded version was never released...
Radiohead - Lift
Someone give them a collective twat 'round the ear and tell them if they can pull their thumbs out with 'Nude' they can do the same for 'Lift'.
Interpol "the black ep"
sounds terrible
Yeah, it does
But there's only the Specialist on there that isn't on TotBL, and that's been re-recorded elsewhere.
I'd like to hear souped-up versions of Precipitate and Song Seven from the Precipitate EP though.
aven't eard "precipitate" how's that?
have you heard the "indepentant record store exclusive live ep" that came out a few months back. It's really good. Recorded in London.
They did "The Specialist" last time I saw them (they really swung hard on it) and we sang along -LOUD (i sounded better than paul)- nah.
i don't like my clothes anymore
But at least you know what your heart is for, eh?
The Precipitate EP is early versions of PDA and A Time To Be So Small, as well as Precipitate and Song Seven, which as far as I know aren't on anything else.
And they're ... okay. The sound isn't amazing (esp. vox), and I don't think they were good enough for TotBL. Like I say, it would be interesting for them to go back and rework them.
You're a pretty hefty fan, aren't you? Worth tracking down, fo sho. Haven't heard the record store EP: will investigate ...
More NMH
Is there a proper version of Sailing Through? I've got a live version which is my favourite NMH song, but the demo version on the Beauty recordings is a bit weak.
Talking Heads '77
yucky sound, could'ave been lush
It IS a million times better than the New Order version.
It's just gorgeous.
And also
I think it's perfect as it is, the production adds to it. It's like a faint afterthought from Curtis...
I dont think much of the Radiohead version

REM Walk Unafraid
It's on Up
They didnt notice it was the best song they had done in the previous (and next) few albums.
Killed that chorus.
You can tell they noticed this by subsequent pulsing, thrusting, cavorting live versions.
Red Square DVD or whatever it was called and Glasto 03

I thought of Ceremony as soon as I saw the thread title
