SLOG Remakes

Hate is a really strong word. I use it sparingly. Except when I’m talking about music remakes.

I hate remakes. With a passion. On the rare occassion, one or two float to the top; sounding crisper, clearer than the original. When they do, I put these on my SLOG - Short List of Good Remakes:

Sexy Back

Good Morning Starshine

Remake: Serena Ryder

Landslide
Original: Fleetwood Mac
Remake: Dixie Chicks

Lovers In a Dangerous Time
