Cover Versions

[Conor]

Bored.

What are your favourite cover versions of songs of all time? Mark Ronson is banned from the list.

I think this is pretty cool...

There's not much about oasis that i really really like, but this is something i always loved...

I think the original is better, but then you didnt say the cover had to be?

[Steveb]

There is this band, that do mainly sorta rock/metal type stuff, not very good, but they did a fantastic cover of a really great old RnB track which I really like, but can't remember the name, of the band or the track, or even how the song goes. Sorry, I'm very very tired.

[Steveb]

Was the band something like faith no more?

[Steveb]

That wouldn't be my fav cover, but it's the only one that springs to mind. Most covers are bad.

[AndyL]

Faith no more, easy (like sunday morning) steve.

For me, it's Johnny Cash's version of Depeche Modes Personal Jesus. Hurt (NIN) by JC is also worth a listen.

Aye, that's it, one of the few covers that actually was almost worth making. Almost.

Megadeaths version of Paranoid (Black Sabbath), few covers I prefer over the original, this is one of them

[dirty dawg]

Possibly better than Kate's Bush..?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBviQXfuu3c

[RockHopper89]

U2 - Neon Lights

Not my usual tastes (mohawk with ink n piercings tend to stick me to heavier stuff) but such a beautifully covered song.

[rochey]

I feel good by nina Simone, was covered by a rock band not sure who done it but it was great. A few of the Radio 1 covers were excellent, but I'm far to drunk to remember names.

[tankslapper]

There can only be one.......

muse did feeling good pretty good as far as muse go

I'm a huge fan of covers, especially when it's either a song or a band I don't like, or both

travis- hit me baby one more time (britney)
smashing pumpkins - dancing in the moonlight (thin lizzy)
snow patrol - teenage kicks (undertones)
green day- tired of waiting (the kinks)
radio head- no body does it better
the edge- suspicious minds (botanic 1997)
stereophonics- nothing compares (sinead oconnor)

[tankslapper]

O.K. Simon if you must

Oasis covering Hey Hey My My was good. Right up to the point where Noel opened his mouth

Whiskey was on my list too, but instead I'll put 'tallica in with Lynyrd Skynyrds Tuesdays Gone
Jeff Buckley with Leonard Cohens Hallelujah
Rage Against the Machine with Afrika Bambaataa's Renegades of Funk
Steve Earle with Townes van Zandts Pancho & Lefty
Bad News with John Lennons Imogen (not technically a cover I suppose)
The Darkness with Radioheads Street Spirit

****ers performance is one of the all time classics. Amazingly awesome.

My favourite is Hendrix. All Along The Watchtower. Sublime.

[MartyMcFly]

Love the Metallica one but this surely can't be beaten . . . . enjoy :D

metallica - sabbath bloody sabbath is pretty cool
machine head - message in a bottle rocks
machine head again - iron maidens hallowed by thy name, THE mother of all covers

[JAC]

Marty that's brilliant

[petrolh34d]

Pantera - Planet Caravan (originally by Black Sabbath)

They probably won't play any of my death metal requests at my funeral, so I'm gonna settle for this lol.

****ing deadly cover.

I had thought that "I heard it through the grapevine" was by Marvin Gaye but was recorded by The Miracles originally. Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded a great cover.

Recently started listening to more "Soul" music. Dont know whats going on - Must be gettin' older!

Was just about to mention the CCR cover. My dad fookin loves that band. Must rip his weird black plastic disc things he's got of them to the media server some day.

Would you just look at all that hair. Wish I had it.

[Aul Han]

The CCR cover is class!

GNR did as cover of AC/DCs Whole lotta Rosie, I have it on vinyl somewhere.

[Aul Han]

Nirvana - The man who sold the world.


By Jac
Bad News with John Lennons Imogen (not technically a cover I suppose)

Well its funnier anyway.

[Wildturkey]

limp bizkit at mtv icon metallica playing welcome home

[JAC]

Glad someone got that Aul Han :)

"The spirit of John speaks through me..."

[Aul Han]

At Jac: Two quid for one bloody sausage?

I think Kate Bush could do with looking at this thread. Some great stuff.
