Round 1/CA/M 6
Category A - Cover Songs

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
V
Warren Zevon - Knockin On Heavens Door

Hasn't Sinead got a bluemoon guernsey on a prior comp?

 

[City Hobgoblin]

The Zevon cover, whilst not as annoying as the Guns and Roses squawk, is fairly routine. Bob is better of course.

Sinead it is.

Pointless

 

[NZBlue]

If there ever was a case of owning a song then Sinead gets it for this masterpiece .

End of story

I like Warren Zevon but I think the telling thing about O'Connor's version of Nothing Compares 2 U is that it is overplayed to death and yet it has never sounded hackneyed.

Well done to Warren for not improving an Dylan song.

Well done to Warren for not improving a Dylan song.

Not a great cover, but he was dying at the time so wanted to put this on his last album.

I'm not actually as old as that- I had to make more of an effort to listen to the best!
Cooke does have a E though :-)

That is his stage name NZ never changed legally to Cooke it was something he liked once he became known and often though their is no documented record another artist has the same name ala David Bowie.

He was born Sam Cook.
