Music Favourite Cover Songs

[RedRevongge]

Normally the originals are best but sometimes you can find very good covers of songs. I found this on YouTube, it's a song that has a lot of personal meaning to me and I have to say the cover is amazing. The girls voice is mesmerizing.

What are your favourite cover songs?

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Also think Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem does a great cover of "I Do Not Hook Up" by Kelly Clarkson. Rumours are that he had a hand in ghost writing it.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Boyce Avenue - Teenage Dream. Lyrics are slightly different abd more meaningful. Better song all round than Katie Perry.

John Cale - Hallelujah
Nina Simone - Strange Fruit
Kendal Johansson - Blue Moon
Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang
They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

[Duffy]

Johnny Cash did some incredible covers towards the end of his career but his cover of Desperado by The Eagles is probably my favourite of the lot.

 

[Duffy]

Also Metallica covering Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd is quality.

EDIT - But seriously

Motorhead do Metallica

Rollins Band do Pink Fairies

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Fairly sure not the favourite, but I do love the Hellsongs lounge cover of Orgasmatron. And Sepultura's too, while we're at it. And also their cover of the Hunt from New Model Army.

[One Night Only]

House of the rising sun - five finger death punch

Starts about 1:45 in for anyone interested

I agree, that is superb.

The Killers cover of Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet is top notch too.
