From 1964:

The Shangri-Las - Leader Of The Pack

As a late comer, I expected to have a hard time filling in any holes left by so many prolific musicologists. My first thought was to offer alternative versions of already posted songs, ex. "Respect" performed by Aretha Franklin (arguably equal to the Otis Redding version), or "Sweat Jane" performed by the Velvet Underground (unarguably better than the live Lou Reed version). However, after some searching I came up with at least a dozen gaping holes to fill.


"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones
Composers: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
Album: Out of Our Heads [1965]

I'll just throw this pearl from 1979 here:


Too bad Glenn won't be coming back to tour with band :(

Lou Reed wrote Sweet Jane, and recorded it with the Velvet Underground.

However, I still consider his solo live version from Rock N Roll Animal to be the definitive version.

Compare and contrast:

Something from the '60s.
