But it isn't remotely the same thing, because they're different songs save for one (Kentucky is the only overlap, I believe). The songs Billie and Norah did were rarer and also not Everly Brother songs anyway, just songs the Everly Brothers covered. On top of that, it's way further out of Billie's genre than McCarthy and Billy

Yeah Billie was pretty off at Rock Am Ring vocally. No doubt. But Reading was much better, though he may have appeared a bit bored at certain points, it was probably nothing. As for Foreverly not being "creative"... well I think that's just missing the point. The fact that he recorded a pretty unknown Everly brothers album with someone who is so dissimilar from him musically (Norah Jones) is an inherently creative thing to do. Obviously if you don't like folk/roots country then it will be quite boring. But that album had some incredible harmonies, and the songs were brought to life with their more modern sound.

I am so sick of the older artists should be inducted before younger artists argument. Since when is any hall of fame done on a first come, first served basis? Every artist, ball player, should be looked at based on what they accomplished, not on what was accomplished by people before them. If a younger artist, or athlete is more worthy than an older one, then they get inducted first. The older artist argument is an invalid argument.

Yeah he hit plenty of wrong notes at the Foxboro show in London in 2009 too. His voice has never been perfect and has been off occasionally on every tour they've done, I don't think one or two performances means the quality's down overall.

I still don't hear anything bad about Billie's vocals on the Trilogy tour, they still sound great to me which is unsurprising since he improved his technique for 21st CB and wouldn't have just forgotten everything from that, and has continued to learn and push his vocals since then by singing on Broadway etc. I've only heard negative comments about them from a handful of people, and that's only been since he went through rehab and everyone started looking for differences/things to complain about as a result so I don't think there's anything wrong

I like them both, but I would agree that I like The Clash's version better as well. It was a different take on the song, that worked very well.

That's right. They copied The Clash's version rather than tried to come up with a different one. I just don't mind it at all. I prefer The Clashe's cover - I like how Joe's vocals sound unpolished.

The only complaint I have about I Fought the Law is that they did absolutely nothing different from The Clash's cover. However, I'm sure this will go over well, I do like Billie's vocals on their version better than Joe Strummers.

What's wrong with doing covers of covers? I mean they're not even technically covers of covers, they're just covers of the originals.

Earphones, I think?

I don't see how you can compare the vocals on Foreverly and the Trilogy anyway. They're totally different styles of music and require different vocal styles. He shows off his range a lot more on Foreverly, but given the fact the Trilogy is mostly rock it needs his trademark snarl. And it just doesn't have it.

Nah, at least he sounds humane. Absolute perfection isn't the point of live music anyway.

Billie Joe on the left

I get slightly disappointed if the radio station doesn't play Jaded right after they've played Brain Stew. I know they're two songs but they're not in my books.

It's one of the best on it for me, but I'd put Paper Lanterns, 409 In Your Coffeemaker and Going to Pasalacqua at the top.

lol Why Do You Want Him is my favorite track on 1039 Smooth!

Thank you, Todd.

I felt the need to top this, although that one has amazing lighting
