Awesome jazz rendition of this Irving Berlin classic w/ the one & only Wayne Shorter on sax....
.....done for the film, Glengarry Glen Ross.
(also check out the drums & bass together setting the tone mimicking the sound of the "L" train)
....and Al Jarreau absolutely soars.

GTFO.

Sorry to break this to you, junior....the Beatles version is the gold standard...Aerosmith's version is pretty decent strong aluminum and commendable ...whereas Gawdshmuck's version is nothing but cheap horrible plastic.

:tsk:

not sure if this has been posted yet, but I made the 3.5 hour drive from DC to see GnR at Metlife Stadium Saturday and seeing this thread made me think of this...

Junior?........lmao,I`m just as old as you if not older.......I lived thru 70s and no way in hell can you tell me the music back then sounds better than todays music.No way.

And as for gold standard,anyone who comes out with a hit,and someone else does a cover of that song,should be the gold standard,but that does not mean someone else can`t do it better than the original band.Therefor this thread should never been started...

But yeah,Godsmacks cover versions of any of those songs from above is WAY better than the originals.

Junior.............lol

And Alan Parsons was a rookie of an engineer/producer compared these genius' nowadays who figured out the secret to great sounding music is to over-compress the living fuck out of everything. Genius, I tells ya.

There is something seriously wrong with you, dude.....maybe it's from breathing WAY too much methane.

Give it a rest, kid.

That band not only sucks...but they suck badly.
