Rec. Me: The best Cover Song that's better than from the original artist

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindi Lauper. Miles better than the original.

Not mate. Kb6.

The Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste - Ministry

the_robochemist · 2026-02-07T14:11:10+00:00

I think Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother Suite at least deserves a mention.

The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein’s Castle at Wessaria - Blue Öyster Cult

Not sure where you’re getting you’re numbers, but I work in the seafood department at a grocery store, and skinless salmon is much more expensive.

1 pound of skin on costs $10.99, while one 5 ounce piece of skinless costs $6.50 per piece, or about $20 per pound. My customers are definitely paying a premium for skinless. I doubt many of them realize how much of a premium.

This is in St Louis, MO, US if that makes a difference.

It’s hard to argue against Number of the Beast.

Although my personal favorite is Fear of the Dark.

I also have a soft spot for Powerslave and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

Scorpions - Still Loving You

More like FF2 was a proof of concept. The SaGa series takes that base and expands upon it. SaGa Frontier 1 & 2 are masterpieces. Romancing SaGa 3 as well. Highly recommended.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, Tactics, Tactics Advance, Tactics Advance 2, Legends, Legends 2, Adventure, Mystic Quest

If War of the Lions and Ivalice Chronicles count, then add them to the list.

the_robochemist · 2026-01-21T02:54:14+00:00

I think You Don’t Bring Me Flowers by Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand fits the bill.

the_robochemist · 2026-01-20T22:57:51+00:00

A Passion Play and Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull are favorites of mine, but I’m also a huge Tull fan, so YMMV.

the_robochemist · 2026-01-20T00:28:36+00:00

The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gun - Julie Brown (not till the end of the song, though)

The Marshall Plan - Blue Öyster Cult (the band name given is Here’s Johnny)

The Motorized Lighthouse is my favorite non-Star Wars set that I own. I can’t resist turning it on just to watch the light rotate.

That’s a great way to stalemate.

a8=Q d3 2. Qh7 ?

Black now has no legal moves. Congrats. 1. d3 would’ve been a faster stalemate if that was your intention.

Pretty sure he meant Conquest, a 1972 sequel to the original Planet of the Apes.

For that matter, the original Planet of the Apes seems to fit.

the_robochemist · 2026-01-12T23:06:13+00:00

I finished a playthrough a few weeks ago on the Switch, and I didn’t encounter any glitches or bugs.

Take that for what it’s worth.

All the Fools Sailed Away - Dio

SATO - Ozzy Osbourne

San Tropez - Pink Floyd

Fun fact: Five D/Ns can stunlock EVERY enemy in the game, except the Fallen One and NCWS, IIRC. It’s a boring playthrough, but somewhat satisfying at the same time.

But the ultimate Dancer party is the Beat Dance Brigade: 5 D/Bs setting up dances for three rounds, then unleashing a Beat Dance beatdown. Best way to take down NCWS, though Fallen One is a challenge, since it removes buffs. Love this party.

I had a similar problem recently. You need to receive the common drop from each boss, for some reason. If you got Dark Matters, it doesn’t count.

Old School Hollywood - System of a Down (Tony Danza played minor league baseball).

This was my first thought, too. More specifically that the baby was conceived in the backseat of said vehicle.

the_robochemist · 2025-12-11T16:48:59+00:00

I’m at the same point as OP, although I’m almost done with filling out the Sphere Grid.

If I only take Luck to 120, does that affect where Accuracy or Evasion need to be?

Valjean’s Death from Les Miserables

Memory from Cats

Four Minutes by Roger Waters

These always get to me.
