Tom Jones is a living legend. . . my grandma loved him! I don’t see how they can stop fans from singing Delilah, maybe humming it would be less offensive Wink 2

A metal version of one of his finest:

A cover of Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song by Vanilla Fudge. I like this one better, the psychedelic sound gives it a more interesting vibe.

We finally got a decent snowstorm the other day, it was so pretty yesterday.
Today it’s melting into a big slushy mess.

The song Mississippi Queen by the band Mountain has some early metal sounds to it.

I've been catching up with these songs. I didn't know of the V.Fudge Immigrant Song cover - I'd have to give it a couple more listens to see which I prefer. I Prefer the Ozzy version of M.Queen by quite a lot. I like the Bowie song but I'm not keen on the Nirvavna cover.

That is a lovely rendition of The House of the Rising Sun, it sounds like a lullaby.
I actually feel asleep listening to it Smile 1

I was looking for a good cover version of the old song Blue Moon and came across this gem. I’d never heard of Gunhild Carling before, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunhild_Carling
I think she is just magnificent, so talented and very entertaining to watch!

The original Swan Lake Act 2 No. 10 by Tchaikovsky and a Metal version that sounds very beautiful as well.

Tchaikovsky’s ballets and music in general, make me think of this time of the year and the Christmas season.
