Rhapsody Fun

700190_215x143.jpgThe in-Rhapsody homepage had 2 tasty tidbits this morning when I logged in. The first was a playlist put together by Mike McGuirk entitled "25 Worst Covers of All Time", and I think he's done his homework:

2. Enter Sandman - Pat Boone
3. He'll Have To Go - Joe Pesci
4. Wild Thing - Sam Kinison
5. 911 Is A Joke - Duran Duran
6. Mississippi Queen - Ozzy Osbourne
7. Sympathy For The Devil - Guns N' Roses
8. Helter Skelter - U2
9. Street Hassle - Simple Minds
10. Whole Lotta Love - Perry Farrell
11. A Hard Day's Night - Peter Sellers
12. Spleen / Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - William Shatner
13. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Tori Amos
14. Born To Be Wild - Evelyn Glennie
15. Kick Out The Jams - The Presidents Of The...
16. Send In The Clowns - Grace Jones
17. (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay - Sammy Hagar
18. Hotel California - (Live In Japan) - Wilson Phillips
19. Johnny B. Goode - Frank Marino
20. Ramblin' Man - Andre Williams & 2 Star Tabernacle
21. Shop Around - The Captain & Tennille

24. Anarchy In The U.K. - Motley Crue
25. Desperado - The Langley Schools Music Project

The second tidbit is information that I wanted to know the other day, but figured it was impossible:

RHAPSODY TIP

To cue music to the mixer without playing it, hold down the "Ctrl" key while clicking a play button in the Music Guide.

Which would have been helpful on Friday as Asjouré and I were Nostalgically playing Hip Hop and Funk tunes from days gone by.

I'd agree with most of the list just by looking at the bands that covered the songs, but U2's version of Helter Skelter is actaully very good.

Also, great tip.

How could this list not include Crispin Hellion Glover's blistering rendition of "These Boots Are Made For Walking"?

( If you want to hear it, let me know. )

Johnny B Goode by Marino is probably the best cover ever done...some people don't get the melodic intensity of Frank...this song being put in a list like this kind of shows a lot of ignorance.
