Thread: Which Version of Sweet Jane do you like?

It's tough for me, because I really like the beat and the lyrics and all of the versions, but I think Mott the Hoople's version is the most infectious. I think it's one of the few pop / rock tunes that has been recorded in different sounds and by different bands that deserves a little recognition. In any event, thanks Lou Reed for writing it originally. My thought of the day! Thanks for reading.

I gotta go with VU. The original song by the original artist in that case. Cool song.

I'm in love with the cowboy junkies' version




when Margo Timmons takes off on the free-form chorus at the end, I get all sorts of impure thoughts. Really impure.

VU.

I have to add this part because "the message you entered is too short"

Are you wanting to take a walk on the wild side?LOL! Are you wanting to change your name to Lola?

Personally, I think Lou Reed was kicking out some of the best rock and roll in the early to mid '70's.


Dig that intro.

Margo. not Lola. I repeat "Mar-go". I like a woman's voice that sounds like it's been soaked in Wild Turkey.

I was referring to an old song by the Kinks. Lola, L-o-l-a, Lola.

Jeez, I know the Kinks, even though I was never really a fan. I just didn't understand how we got from Margo, an actual woman, to Lola, a transvestite. I'm feeling more than usually dense.
