[kj] KJ Covers

I actually like it a bit. Fun enough to listen to on occassion.
 
 
So, which version do people like more, Bob Marley's "One Love"'s ska version, or 
the reggae version?  I am torn but swerve to the ska version more.

Yes, the original Police and Thieves is better...I'm pretty sure Maggie's Farm 
is a Dylan song--isn't the Specials version terrible though?

I'd hear their (Clash) "Police and Thieves" after i'd heard the original, 
and, oooof, I wish they hadn't, but I really like their "I fought the Law" and 
"Police on my back." 


Also, was the Specials' "Maggie's Farm" a cover?

I hate covers, but judicially chosen and creatively executed, they can work. 
Look at the Clash's covers--a twisted yet still good version of "Police and 
Thieves", a better version of a too-mellow ska tune "Wrong 'Em Boyo" (slightly
different spelling on the JA version), a great reggae version of an old blues 
song or something in "Junco Pardner", a differnt but no-better-than-the-original 
version of "I Fought the Law" (the original was great too), and
an amazing version of an amazing song, "Police On My Back" (the original was by 
some biracial 60s group--name begins w/E--and Eddie Grant I think was the lead 
singer and that song was an great example of 60s garage/psychedelic...And what 
about the great Specials' covers--A Message to You Rudy, Monkey Man, Enjoy 
Yourself--any band that can improve on jems like those are gods!
