I don't usually highlight covers for my Music Monday posts. However, this one is so amazing, I had to highlight it. I adore her voice, and it fits completely into this song.
Music Monday -- "Landslide"
Another cover themed edition of Music Monday. I have a little place in my heart for Fleetwood Mac. I think it has to do with hearing them as a child. Their songs are instantly recognizable to me. I hear them and can't help but sing along. And Stevie Nicks' voice is just too amazing. While going through our iTunes account in prep for my 101 Fave Songs posts, I found multiple covers this song. So here we go...
Fleetwood Mac: The Original (live version from 2006)
Tori Amos: How beautiful is her voice?
Smashing Pumpkins: A man singing, interesting swap.
Dixie Chicks: I think this country version is the closest to the original.
Glee: I do love me some Glee. Not always the best covers, but always different.
Bush: Just found this one on YouTube. I had to add it.
Music Monday -- 101 Faves 90s Edition
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy! Songs from the 1990s. Songs from the time I discovered music on my own.
Oasis "Don't Look Back (in Anger)" -- While Wonderwall is pretty amazing, it was this song that I always played (and still play) on repeat.
The Toadies "Possum Kingdom" -- So dark! Just like my crazy pseudo-Gothic phase...
Tori Amos "1000 Oceans" -- Amos just has such a beautiful voice. I can't help by love this song.
Billy Joel "Lullaby" -- I remember getting Joel's River of Dreams album on cassette from my dad. I loved listening to the entirety, but this song was always my favorite.
