What are your favourite covers?

Here's one of mine.

 

[DEVO]

My vote for the two greatest covers of all time. And both a far superior to the originals.

 

[BILC]

 

[TW_Gangee]

Probably too many to even list. Triple J's "Like a version" has produced some absolute rippers though:

A very cool version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" done by the Jezabels:


Haim - "Strong Enough"(Sheryl Crow)


Regina Spektor covering "No Surprises"(Radiohead):

 

[Gus Poyet]

 

[Engimal]

The Gourds covering Snoop Dogg's 'Gin and Juice'.

Marilyn Manson made epic covers... Sweet Dreams was outstanding!!!!

Not many people have the musical clout and the sheer audacity to cover Bowie's Space Oddity.

Billy Corgan is one such person, he's covering a Bowie song but on SP terms and a really interesting take on it.

I think even Bowie himself would like it.

Had no idea that this was a cover - surprised me as much as when I learnt that "I Fought The Law" wasn't a Clash original.

My two favourite covers at the moment are soul singers doing classic tracks:





Also, does this next one count as a cover? They kept Bowie's original vocal and then recorded everything else around it. If you read the producer's notes on what he was trying to do, it's a really cool concept.

Far far too many to name, but as far as "better than the original" goes, here are a few off the top of my head:

a bit depressing but love the song and the film donnie darko (where I first heard the song)

 

[Power Raid]

geez, another depressing song........but a great song nevertheless

 

[Power Raid]

Patty Smith has some really interest songs

From memory she does a good cover of wild horses too

 

[stanga]
