A two part question for you all:
1) - Out of the many songs Frank Black has covered which would you say are better than the originals?
2) - Also which do you think are not as good?

Better: Sister Isabel, John the Revelator, John Amos, Handyman
Worse: Hang on to your ego |

| I haven't heard a lot of the originals, but Changing Of The Guard is definitely better than the original. I'm with 10%r on Hang On To Your Ego. The demo FB did alone when he was with the Pixies (or was it after?) is totally better than the FB album version. |

| I agree the Pixies 'Hang On To Your Ego' is better than the FB version. I'm not a fan of the FB version.... |

Agree with El Barto, Frank's Changing Of The Guards is far better than the original.

| The live sister isabel is one of the most intense and emotional songs I have ever heard. It's definately better than Del Shannon's. Going Down is good but not better that Springsteen's |

My fave cover is the one Frank did with the Pixies, of Can't Forget by Leonard Cohen.
I love L.C but darn it, there's just something inherently "feelgood" about Franks vocals on that particular track...
Not as good is Hang On To Your Ego - sorry but I'm firmly of a beliefe that if you cannot do it justice then leave well enough alone and I guess if it were not so well known to me previously then I might have a different opinion of it, so its my own bias there.

| I liked most of the Pixies covers: Winterlong and I've been Waiting For You, Head On, In Heaven, Wild Honey Pie. Evil hearted You was a bit strange, but I have not heard the original from which it was based - what was it like? |

Franks cover of "Do Nothing" by the Specials is amazing ! I agree that "Changing of the guard" is awesome too.
