Come Together. Original Vs Cover.

in #music5 years ago

What would a recurring post about original musical compositions versus artists that cover the original song be without The Beatles? Severely lacking, that's what it would be.

This week I pit two incredible powerhouse bands against each other.

Originally released by The Beatles in 1696 (When I was just a wee little lad), the song Come Together has become a staple of rock roll.

The song has been covered no less than 15 times by various artists as can be seen in this article

Let's start the show with the original version of the song recorded by The Beatles.

Aerosmith originally covered this song as part of the movie "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"

Check out this throwback from the movie. Aerosmith plays the "evil band." Can you spot the other famous artists in this video?

If you've never seen the movie before this video will suffice. If you're a huge Beatles fan and have never seen it, then you're really not that big of a fan.

My vote goes to Steven Tyler on this one. He just captures the raw, frenetic energy of this song in a way that only he can.
