What's new

Your favorite song covers?

Only Living Boy In New York - Everything but the Girl
Wait In Vain - Annie Lennox
 
plenty of good ones but this is in my current rotation

 
Cover songs that were better than the original:

Metallica - turn the page
Bad wolves - zombie
AAF - smooth criminal
Elise testone - whole lotta love

But my favorite is Bill Kirchin's cover of Hot Rod Lincoln live. Listen to the whole thing, and different performances have different mash ups.

 
What's a cover?

Whose song is Pancho & Lefty?? Is that a Willy Nelson song or is it Willy Nelson covering a Townes VanZandt song?

How about Amarillo By Morning? is that a Terry Stafford song that was covered by George Strait, or is it a George Strait song?

To me, almost all big songs are covers of some lesser known version.



















(This thread is proof, I will argue about anything)
 
As mentioned above. Johnny Cash-Hurt

I also enjoy The Killdares version of Whiskey in the Jar



I know I'll catch flak for this but Disturbed- Sound of Silence

Okay, I am a little off base here, When I thnk of cover songs, I think of up and comers, such as Chris Rogers,

 
Failure - enjoy the silence
Dream theater - Time
Wilson Pickett - hey Joe <--- probably my favorite cover song
Wilson Pickett - hey Jude
Jimmi Hendrix - them changes


I watched last night the grateful Dead do a live cover of dear Mr fantasy that was badass from a guitar solo perspective.

I'm missing a bunch, love me a good cover song!!
 
Forgot about these, i like the originals but they both do a pretty good job of making it their own
