[Dogs 13]

Paint it Black - The Tea Party

 

[Optimax]

Hurt-Johnny Cash
Baker Street-Foo fighters

 

[Toothpick Vic]

Yeah gotta agree with a few on here that J Cash - Hurt is probably the best cover..

I'd also throw in:
The Editors - Lullaby (The Cure)
Placebo - Running Up The Hill (Kate Bush)

 

[strung_out7]

SRV cover of voodoo child is one of the best

bodyjar - hazy shade of winter

the living end - tainted love

[link roo]

SRV cover of voodoo child is one of the best

Yes it is.

 

[TheStinger]

Yes it is.

I was going to post SRV's cover of Little Wing as well but I thought better of it. In hindsight I should have. You can never have enough SRV.

 

[SBI]

Bit of an odd choice admittedly, but I've developed a bit of love for a German band called The Baseballs. Love their cover of Rihanna's Umbrella (which I ordinarily hate).

Not least for some of the Youtube comments:

when i heard the song In the first instance .....i say ryhana is genius ...but..she just Reduce the song from a graet singers

 

[Tex_21]

Love Cash's Hurt, but reckon my fav. cover has got to be GnR's version of Knockin' ON Heaven's Door.

 

[Hanis]

Devo - Satisfaction (Rolling Stones)

Keep a look out for Spazz Attack in the video

Devo ft Neil Young - My My Hey Hey (Neil Young)

My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) is the ascoustic counterpart to Hey Hey My My (into the Black)

This original song revitalised Neil Young career's and was actually inspired by him meeting with Devo - Neil Young asked Devo to perform the song with him for his 1982 film Human Highway
