Damn, I really need to give the s/t the light of day sometime soon. I keep getting distracted by this

It's always bugged me when covers become more successful than originals, bit of a pet peeve I guess

They're probably about level terms for me. Probably the only one of my favourite bands where I genuinely can't decide what their best release is. Both have only one song each I don't like. Like quite a few of my favourite bands, I didn't particularly expect to like Bon Iver. Even once I'd heard this I didn't think I'd like st, st cos of what certain people had said about it and my habit of never being able to find bands I genuinely love.

I'll definitely jump on it. Especially since I read that they may me "slowing things down". I made up for it by nipping one of the last tickets for gy!be last week though

covers are best when they genuinely change the style of the song and give a different perspective on it. if they're just performing it there's no point. I couldn't be bothered to listen all the way through it but the sheeran cover just seemed to take out what made the original interesting and added nothing of his own

indeed, all of the covers on grace are better than the original versions, imo. but that's just buckley, most artists don't pull that off

"some are merited though

This is true, but I don't think Ed Sheeran could pull off anything of this magnitude successfully. As AF said covers work best when they put their own spin on a track and mix it up a bit.

I totally thought NiN covered Johnny Cash and not vice-versa even though my dad has told me the truth countless times.

I think s/t s/t is probably on par or better than this. Buckley was the covers king

So they're calling it quits btw.

On the topic of covers and the Buckley family, John Frusciante's cover of Tim Buckley's 'Song to the Siren' is fucking incredible.
