Oh yes, The Beatles.......the Take That of their day (evil smiley).
I agree that they were responsible for some good song writing, it's just a pity that they couldn't deliver themselves (another evil smiley).
Case in point is a link I posted a while back:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXcR0erWxBM&feature=youtube_gdata_playerThere are loads of funk and jazz covers that show how it should be done. Then again I don't think that there can be such a thing as a bad Jazz cover. How else could 'Favourite Things' be a Jazz standard?
I really don't mean to offend by any of the above. I'm just expressing my own tastes and when I set aside my own preferences, I've got a lot of love for anyone who is passionate about music. Even if we don't see eye to eye, I can pretty much guarantee that I can find some common ground.
Isn't that what this thread is about?
