Cover Song: The Smashing Pumpkins (Neil Young)- Cinnamon Girl

One of the best things about going back through a band’s catalog is finding all the things you forgot about. Over the last couple years, I’ve rediscovered my love for The Smashing Pumpkins, and through my journey, I keep finding so many wonderful gems. For example, in the deluxe edition of Pisces Iscariot, there are so many great songs on the bonus disc. This cover of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” was one I forgot about. It’s really a very cool cover with a different vibe, a la 90’s. The Type O Negative cover of this song is still the best but, the pumpkins sure do a damn good job with it.

Cover Thursday: A Bunch Of Neil Young Covers

Last night I saw Neil Young, and I’m still in awe. He played for three hours non stop. I wanted to write a review of the show but I seriously can’t put into words how amazing it was. Well in honor of that show, I thought I’d share some really great covers of Neil songs with you all. Enjoy!

Cover Tursday: Type O Negative (Neil Young)- Cinnamon Girl

Neil Young is one of my favorites ever. Type O Negative gave new life to this song and totally changed the mood. They made it darker, eerie and vulnerable. R.I.P. Peter Steele!
