Great Song Cover Versions

[Cade]

We've all heard stinkingly bad covers of songs, but I think there are just as many great covers out there.

I'll get the ball rolling with just a few examples.

 

Jimi Hendrix covering Bob Dylan

 

Disturbed covering Simon&Garfunkel

 

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails

 

[Fitzroy Pointon]

 

[Roxy Hearts]

John Lennon's Jealous Guy by Roxy Music. Great tribute.

Therapy covered Husker Du and had a minor hit with it, but it would probably be banned now for its subject matter:

Close thread.....

 

[The Gorgie]

I think Quiet Riot cover of Come on feel the noise is actually better than Slades. The Oasis cover of it tragic.

[Cade]

Muse cover Bricusse and Newley  (Nina Simone's version was also a cover)

 

 

[Cade]

Joe Cocker covers The Beatles

 

 

[Ray Gin]

Stumbled across this on youtube the other day. Impressive:

The cover of ABBA’s The Day before you came by Blancmange is a lot better. Can’t find it though🤷‍♂️
