Opentape: 17 Covers Of Oasis' 'Wonderwall'




















Remember when Jay-Z covered the Oasis song "Wonderwall" at Glastonbury as a means of retaliation/tribute after Noel Gallagher made statements in the press to the effect that a hip hop act should not headline the rock-oriented Glastonbury? The controversy resulted in an entire mash-up album combining Jay-Z's rapping with Oasis songs.

As it turns out, many others have chiseled their names onto Oasis's "Wonderwall." Roni Brunn from Brand Records assembled an Opentape mix consisting of 17 versions of the song including covers by Thom Yorke and The Posies, Cat Power, Metallica (comedic style), Pavement and a particularly rousing live rendition from The Beastie Boys. The mix also contains a few mash-ups of the song, with The Jackson Five LCD Soundsystem, Green Day and, of course, Jay-Z.

A karaoke version of the song caps off this Opentape compilation so you can easily record your own version. It's all very worthwhile, especially on a Friday.
