Sound of Silence cover, played at the end of Coast to Coast AM this morning.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

I heard this once before on C to C, several months back. I couldn't find out who the performer was.

After hearing it again this morning, I thought I'd search again too. It came up right away.

1. might be the times

but I find the disturbed cover more compelling

[samnsara]

4. oh my gawd....that is so chilling. I have now decided NOT to remove to 25 anti trump...

...pro Dem...The Resistance...every Dem candidate.. bump stickers from my car. I have been thinking its a little over the edge...but not now!!!! I will not be silenced......

7. I know, because of this environment

this version really resonates for me.

it has no pretty flourishes. it is a protest

9. The artist in the OP was trying to cover Disturbed's version.

It didn't go well, imo.


Adding live version:

In April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover.[64] Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."[65] As of September 2017, the single had sold over 1.5 million digital downloads[66] and had been streamed over 54 million times, estimated Nielsen Music.[67] The music video has over 500 million views on YouTube, while the live performance on Conan has over 90 million, making it the most watched YouTube video from the show.

10. thank you, I didn't know about simon's endorsement

and it adds to my enjoyment knowing that the original artist approves

[UTUSN]

12. Agree.

[bbgrunt]

2. both are pretty powerful. More relavant than ever.

[Fla Dem]

3. Didn't know C toC AM was still broadcasting.

Is it any good! Loved it when Art Bell hosted, not so much with George Noory

[The Figment]

5. It not nearly as Good as it used to be

Too much of Noory trying to sell his own stuff, (Noory Beets for example) and not anywhere near the "hard science " that Art Bell used to have on his show.

Noory is also a staunch Trump supporter, I have a hard time with that, I know that Art Bell was a conservative Libertarian but he really tried to keep the politics off his show after the second term of the Clinton administration...he said he didn't want Coast to Coast to be another political talk show.

[Fla Dem]

8. Yes, now that you mention it I think that was one of the reason, of many, that I stopped listening.

Noory was always trying to get some RW message in his broadcast. That was it for me. Not only was he not as good as Art, he was a RW hack.

[DFW]

6. If they are Trump supporters, I guess they won't be playing this version

[UTUSN]

11. Just heard it on CtC a couple of days ago. Stunning but now Disturbed's sounds better.

VALMY now sounds more shouting and copies Disturbed's arrangement.

NOORY didn't name the singer. Found it by title plus CtC.

Yeah NOORY is a wingnut, bff with Jerome CORSI, the ahole author for the Swiftboat aholes against KERRY. Lots of Navy vets like NOORY are Drumpfers, am ashamed for my Navy. When he officially took over after BELL he was overwhelmed but then said he will NEVER give it up, giving me awful CHILLS.
