Songs you originally liked because you thought it was somebody else singing them

[gbranton]

These guys wanted to be the Rolling Stones so bad, they somehow talked Jimmy Miller into producing their albums......

They should have called this one "You Can't Get Sympathy For Shining A Light"

I absolfuckinglutely love the Stones! It sounds more like THIS to me:

Which ironically is the Stones doing a Buddy Holley tune.

[FORD]

Even though the Stones originally covered that on their very first album, I thought their 1994 take on it actually sounded closer to the Grateful Dead's rendition......

[Mr Walker]

For the longest time I thought America's 'Lonely People' was CS&N.

[chefcraig]

always thought this was something off "In through the out door", or "Coda", before I realized it was kind of a cheesey knock off the Zeppelin sound.

Ever notice how much of Heart's "Barracuda" owes a debt to Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand?" For some reason, all of these vids except the static, studio track clips leave off the intro, which suggests the Zep song to the furthest point. As a result, it was difficult to find even a near-complete version, so forgive the tv show introduction on this one. And Nancy Wilson wasn't always the hottest woman in the band, back in the day.

[Unchainme]

And of course then there was the Duran Duran wannabe band...... (though this song was actually more tolerable than anything Duran Duran did in the second half of the 80's)

always thought that had more of a human league sound to it.

[Jesus Christ]

Ann & Nancy never made any secret of the fact that they were huge Zeppelin fans. Their cover of "The Battle of Evermore" (as The Lovemongers) might have been the best thing they did outside of the original Heart lineup (certainly better than the late 80's Van Hagarized corporate cheese version of the band)

[Golden AWe]

when I was young I thought Gillan also sang on "BURN"...well, it's a grate album anyway.

[diamondsgirl]

Looks kinda like Freddie had a child with Gary Cherone. Wonder who they used for a surrogate?

Seriously though, he really did capture that mid 70's Queen vibe fairly well.

LOL! I dunno Hilary Swank?? I dig his animal print robe. Very DLR.

[nitroDave23]

I thought Long Stick Goes Boom was an AC/DC song when I was little,

This song got me into Krokus though, they've got some good tunes.

[BITEYOASS]

And of course then there was the Duran Duran wannabe band...... (though this song was actually more tolerable than anything Duran Duran did in the second half of the 80's)

Damn that video was god-awful. Makes me miss the 80's even less.

Of course you know this ain't no new-wave crowd!

[sadaist]

This song got me into Krokus though, they've got some good tunes.

Totally. But the outfits they wore.....UGH! No matter the quality of the music, every time I think of Krokus I think of Marks spiky shoulders.

[tod]

I always thought this was the Vipers

[twonabomber]

And of course then there was the Duran Duran wannabe band...... (though this song was actually more tolerable than anything Duran Duran did in the second half of the 80's)

i saw the InSoc guy at the airport once. supposedly he was in town working with Trent Reznor, just before NIN broke.

[tod]

Sonja got chased out of that band.

[chefcraig]

This song got me into Krokus though, they've got some good tunes.

Butthead: Check it out. It’s Krokus coming to kick their ass.
Beavis: Yeh. Heh-heh.
Butthead: It’s the
Night Of The Living Bands That Suck.
Beavis: Hey Butthead, look at the singer...
Butthead: Yeah, his head...look at his head. It's like bigger than the rest of his body.
