This doesn't just edge the original, it blows it out of the water. Originally released in 1983 and recorded by Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force, it was grabbed by the scruff of its neck by Rage Against The Machine a little under 20 years later and throttled to within an inch of its life.

bringing back this thread after months because over the weekend I heard a few songs from swedish band Sabaton and especially "1916" immediately remembered me one of the most emotional songs (also because I didn't expect it from Lemmy back then when it was first published in 1991 (75 years after the infamous battle at the Somme). Lemmy's version still give me goosebumps when hearing it. Great song, great man. RIP Lemmy! Sabaton's version: The original from Motörhead from 1991:
Feuerschwanz (feat. Thomas Winkler, Saltatio Mortis and Melissa Bonny): Warriors of the World United (Manowar cover) And here's the Original:

I'm no Beatles fan ,but I recognize genius and Cry Baby Cry off that album is just f*cking sensational ,I think the fact that Album is a mess is why it's so brilliant and why it's the only Beatles album in my collection that my playlist still carries songs from. I honestly think it's their best and most imaginative work.
