Discovering Fanny has been one of the highlights of my time on Lit. I missed them when they came out.

I’m glad you’ve dug into their work. Fanny is a band that I’ve been championing for years. They honestly belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame under the pioneers category. They are so directly linked to the launch of female rock bands, because Kim Fowley assembled The Runaways as a direct result of seeing Fanny and knowing that an all-female band could work. Without Fanny, there’s no Runaways, and the ripple effect cascades from there. Luminaries such as The Beatles, Bowie, and Streisand were big fans of theirs. It’s a travesty how they’ve been lost to time, although they’re finally starting to get some recognition for their place in history in some corners of the industry.

Yesterday was international women’s day and I missed that one but let’s make up for it today.

Day 9: A song that’s originally done by a man, but covered by a woman

Originally by Prince, I’m loving this version at the minute though as it shows her emotion and power in it (hopefully adding the link works as not sure how you all add YouTube stuff)

It’s not a cover when it’s your song, also if you are going to give me music pedantry, have it be correct pedantry

Prince considered he and The Family to be different entities. But you want to call it the same, fine. I've got no argument.

Last time I try to argue for you to get more points...

Cyndi has done several covers of songs by guys (including "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," which originally sort of sucked), and she nails all of them. I love her.

 

[morelikeasong]

And it goes out to @morelikeasong for throwing this massive curveball that failed to register anything in my catalog that qualified.

What a cool cover! And thank you for the dedication
I’m glad it made you dig a little deeper.

One, the greatest drum break in music history.

Two, on being overplayed, I am not sure most people understand how ubiquitous Phil Collins was for a time. He played drums for a couple of Robert Plant's solo albums, played on Adam Ant's album, played on Eric Clapton's album, had a top-selling album with Genesis, a top-selling solo album, a duet with the guy from Earth Wind and Fire, the lead in a movie, an Academy Award nomination (for "Take a Look at Me Now," not his movie), played drums for the Band-Aid supergroup, and played Live Aid, which had simultaneous concerts in England and Philadelphia, both on the same day. This was all in a three or so year period. He was everywhere, in a move that only Taylor Swift has been able to pull off. And the results were everyone came to hate him. Honestly, he is really underappreciated as a drummer. Go back to the early Genesis stuff, he is scary good.

This has been your Useless Phil Collins Facts of the Day, from your Font of Useless Knowledge...

Thanks for all the Info..

I believe I went from being a boy to a man with this look:

This performance confirms that.

Day 9.
You didn’t say it had to be a GOOD cover… but since she ripped off most of his and more than likely had him killed,
Here’s to you Courtney Love, you’re a no talent hack and I dislike you but you bet your ass I bought your Live Through This album.

She was rumored to have been popular for giving blowjobs in the alleyway outside Satyricon when I was haunting there. I can neither confirm nor deny, as I never saw her in the alley. But she was around a lot. Nirvana, Mookie Blaylock (soon to be Pearl Jam), Temple of the Dog, Heatmiser... The late 80s and early 90s were a great time to be of drinking age in the PNW.

I’m pretty sure you dodged a bullet not getting a blowie from Courtney . And probably several venereal (?) diseases

Stupid bitch just couldn't help herself could she?

I hope Francis never says another word to her.

She was one of the blowjobs I never regretted missing. That was a short list.

She’s probably closer to her grandma or nanny

 

[ZfrkS62]

I hope so. Everyone who knew Courtney should have been telling Francis to run as soon as she turned 18. I hope she did.

I've been wrestling all day with sooo many options to post here. However, I keep coming back to this, and feel compelled to inflict this version on y'all. Enjoy.
