Unchained Melody vs Everlasting Love

[cobl04]

Just wondering what you guys think is the better Righteous Brothers cover - I love the Righteous Brothers. Another musical act I grew up with. What do you guys think?

 

[U2democrat]

Unchained Melody is just an incredible song overall.

 

[J_NP]

Damn that's the 2 covers U2 made of these are so terrific , they are just so fucking good .

U Melody's studio atm is fantastic

And everlasting Love is an amazing , exciting acoustic take

Can't Decide , they are so good , to say one is better

 

[Catman]

I like the song Unchained Melody more, but U2 did a better job at covering Everlasting Love.

 

[Axver]

I prefer Everlasting Love but I never listen to either cover much.

 

[shortfuse]

Everlasting love

 

[cruzila]

Not a huuuge fan of either, but if I were to choose, I'd go with Everlasting Love...

 

[tuwie]

hands down unchained melody <3
it's my favorite cover version ever.

 

[angelordevil]

I'm not a big fan of Everlasting Love.

Unchained Melody...it can be the most romantic thing I've ever heard, or the absolute corniest. It's a weird one. Or maybe I'm just weird...could be that.

 

[Hallucination]

easily Unchained Melody. To me it's one of the greatest covers of all time. I don't like the original but I love U2's cover.

Everlasting Love was a MASSIVE radio hit in Australia back in '89. Triple M and 2Day FM both flogged the song and I am certain that's the reason why the All I Want is You single did so well in the charts.

They even gave away a free one-track cassette of Everlasting Love when you bought the vinyl version of All I Want is You.

But personally I prefer Unchained Melody. I adore the song both as U2 performed it and the original.

OK, I've decided: My biggest crush on Unchained Melody was during those Zoo-TV song transitions...One/Unchained Melody, Until The End Of The World, New Year's Day

Well there's like 20 of those, but you may want to check your sources. I haven't seen anything on the web that shows they made a recording of that song. And I definately haven't heard one, and I have quite a bit of their recordings.

Not saying it hasn't been done, I would just like to find out where.

[pgv]

Everlasting love, because I never used to like that song before u2 covered it.

 

[jacobus]

Unchained Melody that was great during ZOO TV

 

[adrball]

Generally don't like covers...very few are better second time round.

Unchained Melody Melody is a great song

 

[An Cat Gav]

Unchained Melody, there is zero competition from Everlasting Love, even though I like it.
Night and Day is their best ever cover version but Unchained Melody is breathtaking in iits power passion and beauty.
The live versions are fairly shit though.

 

[U2girl]

I like both of them.

 

[waynetravis]

not a fan of the songs, but i'd have to go with Unchained Melody

 

[Joninhas]

Unchained!

 

[WalkOnTheEdge]

Everlasting Love

 

[JCOSTER]

Thats a hard one, but hearing both live I have to say Unchained Melody brought and still brings me to my knees.

 

[Zoots]

Unchained Melody! Just cos of the Zoo TV version..

Everlasting Love is okay but I'm not a big fan of that song.

 

[u2thewho]

Unchained Melody is, in my opinion, kind of eh, and the sheer acoustic energy of Everlasting Love is just so amazing.
