Thread Name: Songs you liked that others on the forum don't
Subject: RE: Songs you liked that others on the forum don't
There are plenty of songs that I like generally but have been totally murdered (IMHO, of course!) by others. I have heard all of the following given the heavy rock treatment, to their intense detriment:
Caledonia (Dougie Maclean's composition - originally in 3/4, given 'Four on the floor"))
Follow the Heron - speeded and funked up (yes that was an n but only if I'm being polite -and also translated into 4/4!)
"Yellow on the Broom" - (foot-pedal bass drum! -oh how clever, she can play the fiddle AND pound the bass drum at the same time!)
And as for all those guitar-driven words-chopped    - about-   so they- are totally-illogical -and have never -even been thought-    about-    what they-    mean funky versions of Burns songs - give me strength!
