I just happened to create a "sea" Playlist, mostly consisting of Barrett's Privateers. Thoughts on the flavors:

  • Stan Rogers. Og version. Actually one of my favorite.
  • The Wellermen. Good variety. Changing vocalists and drums add a lot.
  • Kingston Trio. Classic folk band, acapella, I think this is the only other variant I've heard that matches the original lyrics. Would recommend.
  • Jonathan Young. Metal version. I really want to like this, but it is simultaneously both too metal and not metal enough.
  • The Real McKenzies. Love the fast tempo, but I find the change in lyrics extremely annoying.
  • The McCalmans. Change in tempo and change in tune make this unenjoyable.
  • Gustavo Steiner. Sad guy on a guitar. If that's your thing you might enjoy this, otherwise, no.

    Good list! Ole Stan is the Goat, here's my lubber thoughts, listening:

    Stan: (literally the FUCKING GOAT)

    Wellerman: Too polished, too harmonic, lacking the fuck my life feeling of the song

    Kingston Trio: wayyy too harmonic, too jaunty. Fuck, sing a fun song without a perfect harmony

    Johnathan Young: not all fantastic inspiring songs need to be ballads. It is a great song! But not fitting.

    Real Mckenzies: fantastic "let's FIGHT" vibe

    Alas, alack, I think still Stan!
