tigra 0 #1 June 17, 2007 I downloaded the iTunes version yesterday. 34 tracks. I wasn't sure Id like the whole thing, but I've been hearing Green Day's "Working Class Hero" on the radio and I really loved that one, so I went ahead and bought the whole album. Too many artists try to make a song "their own" when they cover it, and with a Lennon song, that's generally the wrong thing to do. Anyway, I'm really enjoying it and I'm just amazed at how well his music holds up. Most of the artists stayed pretty true to the original versions- a real tribute. Ben Harper's "Beautiful Boy" and Jack Johnson's "Imagine" both got me a little choked up. Just curious if anyone else has checked it out and what you thought of it ..........

SmoothAl 0 #2 June 17, 2007 I'm a pretty big Lennon fan and I was a little bugged when I heard Green Day had redone "Working Class Hero". I saw and heard the video and I was very impressed. They truly kept the soul of the song intact. How's the rest of their album? SA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #3 June 18, 2007 There's a lot on it, and for the most part, its very good. A few misses, of course. But just listening to those songs again- my copy of Starting Over in on vinyl and I can't remember the last time I heard some of these songs. Well worth the $20.00. I understand that the iTunes version has several bonus tracks not on the CD and the CD has bonus tracks not available on iTunes. I may end up getting the CD too eventually, just for those few extra tracks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
