J’en passe très souvent en blind, et c’est assez marrant de glisser un morceau super connu, mais interprété d’une manière totalement décalée. On voit les sourcils se froncer, les fronts se plisser « meeerde, je CONNAIS ce truc! ». Là, c’est l’oreille qui compte, pour vite percuter et retrouver l’original malgré qu’on soit perturbé par une interprétation complètement différente. Une petite sélection non exhaustive des covers que je passe souvent en blind. Les versions que je chéris particulièrement sont indiquées en gras.
