Joy Division, Massive Attack
Or Massive Attack, Joy Division??
There are covers. And there are covers. Self-sustained. Each an interpretation. Good. Bad. Better than original? Better left alone? Subjective opinions. We could agree to disagree.
And then along comes a song – New Dawn Fades, in this case.
And I use this as an illustrative example ‘cos i both the bands.
And along comes a song – New Dawn Fades, in this case.
And I use this as an illustrative example ‘cos i love both (?) the songs involved.
More so, because i got into Joy Division because of this song.
And i got into this song ‘cos i like Massive Attack.
Massive Attack => New Dawn Fades => Joy Division.
And Joy Division was such a great discovery.
Do i thank the song? Do i thank Massive Attack? Do i thank Joy Division from whom came New Dawn Fades originally, ‘cos it’s a loop? Should I be grateful it was the Massive Attack cover I listened to? Well. Whatever. Nevermind. I still like Massive Attack. I like Joy Division. I love New Dawn Fades.
There are stories. And I’m sure you have one too. So. Has there been a cover by a band you personally like, which you didn’t know was a cover at first, but once you listened to the original, you got hooked on to the original artist? We’d like to know.
