All Saints’ cover of Under The Bridge makes it to A-Z…as Z-list
In a countdown of cover songs from A-Z that was published on Friday on MusicRadar, the interesting thing came at the very end. All Saints’ infamous cover of Under The Bridge made it to the list as Z.
What does that Z stand for? Z stands for Z-list.Here’s what Emma Davies of MusicRadar had to say about it and, based on common sense and general experience, I find that many of this website’s visitors will, frankly, agree with her:
There’s no better way for a band to speedily raise their profile than by banging out a song which is already over-familiar to the masses.
So… All Saints covering the Red Hot Chili Peppers, anyone? And before anyone says, we loved Pure Shores but honestly, leave the bloody Chili Peppers alone…
What do you all think? Was this the worst Red Hot Chili Peppers’ cover ever or is there anything that makes you even more annoyed? There are more cover versions of that song…for example, Taylor Dane of Tell It To My Heart fame covered it two years ago.
