Are there any examples of songs that cannot be sung by anyone else, no matter how skilled, other than the original singer?
>>128199104Songs can't usually be covered as they're concepts not physical objects. Hope that helps.
>>128199104no one's ever done a bjork cover of note
>>128199104I think one such song is "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette. I've seen many attempt this song, but there's a special tonal quality of the original singer that cannot be matched, it's the song's crowning glory. The original itself is already very boring, and without the original singer's vocals it just becomes souless.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVyTOAXOI6w
>>128199104I havent heard anyone attempt David Allen Coe’s dirty tunes
>>128199104Went by Under A Pierrot Moon
>>128199144Her voice is too unique, several tried Army of Me, but just can't top it.
>>128199104Kate Bush - Suspended in Gaffa
>>128199104Suede and Bjork are the top picks that come to mind given Kurt did Bowie alright. There's been other /mu/ prettyboys but nobody gave "petulant artfag twink" quite like Brett in his prime

>>128199104You can radically alter a cover to make it your own, Anon.

>>128199104Good question, I was listening to Outlaw thorn earlier today and I thought about putting on a debut record but damn, it's impossible to think of that one not being sung by James.
>>128199604the mars volta did a really shitty cover of birthday (they admitted it was bad themselves), which is a shame cause i think cedric probably could've done it early in the band's career. i can't think of much people who would have the voice or personality to try to do a bjork cover
>>128199144Pile did a cover of declare independence on their latest tour that was pretty cool
>>128199317Heart could do it
>>128199104No. Only zoomers and retards will disagree because zoomers don’t understand that covers aren’t supposed to be imitations and retards are retards
>>128199104The Most Unwanted Song
James Brown is totally uncoverable.
>>128206463same with Bjork
>>128206463>>128208932Literally ANYTHING can be covered once you do it in your own style IF you have style
