The Carpenters have been sampled and covered in every music genre, without exception. Karen Carpenter’s voice was otherworldly, and always identified as one of the best voices of all time. Karen and her brother Richard formed the hit making duo. Karen Carpenter has an eerie voice, but her biography short, and heat-breaking. Listen to both interpretations of this song! Respectfully, Sonic Youth pays homage by putting footage of Karen Carpenter in the background. “Pink Flag” their most celebrated album to “Rolling Stones:500 Greatest Albums of all time. Sonic Youth is part of the “ No Wave Movement!” Within in their musical career, they have released conflicting noise in the musical scene. Kim Gordon has been a member of Sonic Youth since 1981. My favorite member of the group is of course, Kim Gordon. Of course with any rock alternative group members, roster of members will inevitably change. Sonic Youth started their musical career in 1977. Sonic Youth has a cult following with of course Thurston Moore.

Gone were the light and easy instrumentation, and instead, we were given an excursion into that of the noisy New York alternative rock scene. Likewise, the group’s infamously intricate guitar-tunings were used to create a vibe completely removed from the original. Maintaining the song’s feeling of loss and loneliness, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore used his vocals to create a dark and moody atmosphere. However, Sonic Youth considered the Carpenters an influence, and dutifully recorded a cover of ‘Superstar’. Now, if one was to look at the Carpenters, often considered a staple of AM-radio easy listening, one would see almost no resemblance to that of Sonic Youth, the highly experimental alternative noise-rock group. In addition to brilliant covers from artists such as Shonen Knife (who covered ‘ Top Of The World‘), and The Cranberries (who covered ‘ (They Long To Be) Close To You‘), was the record’s sole single Sonic Youth’s version of ‘Superstar’. Gone was the soul-styled vocals of the original, and it’s sexual overtones, and instead, Karen Carpenter’s vocals were added into the mix, giving the song a deep feeling of loneliness and loss, as was originally intended by the song’s writers.Īs year’s went by, numerous bands took inspiration from the works of the Carpenters, so much so that a compilation CD was issued in 1994 that saw bands who considered the group as influences, covering their songs. The Carpenters’ version was a hit, with many stating that the Carpenters cover was far superior and emotional than the original. Instead, the song was passed around between numerous musicians until it received a great deal of success thanks to a little duo called the Carpenters, who renamed it ‘ Superstar‘. This B-side was called ‘ Groupie (Superstar)‘, and wasn’t overlooked as many B-sides of the era were. That single featured, as many did, a B-side. Back in 1969, Delaney & Bonnie released the song ‘ Comin’ Home‘.
