now post ur fav covers, stick to rock pls.
lots of you know music which i do not know so i'm hoping to hear smth new here ;)

I've always likes the Foo Fighters version of "Have a Cigar". Not better than the original, though.

Avett brothers glory days

No such thing.

:banana:banana

smells like teen spirit? seriously? No chance, the original changed a generation..

how could i forget, Black Betty by Spiderbait - VERY good cover :D

originally by the traveling wilburys



originally by pink floyd

PR_Glen nailed it with All Along the Watchtower from Hendrix

Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Little Wing is pretty rad as well.

First one that came to my mind too. They do an awesome Sound Of Silence also

Tiamat's Pink Floyd cover is definitely a Very Good Cover

Better than Springsteen, IMO.




Better than Martha & the Vandellas (and WAY better than Jagger & Bowie)




Best cover of 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' (over 50 artists have done it over the years)

originally by elton john

I'm not a huge ICP fan but I like this cover better much than the original by Sly Fox.

Good shit. Actually, anything they choose to publish is pretty much awesome stuff. :2 cents:

**has to be the live version with Robert Smith on guitar**

Original by The Beatles

Original by Roberta Flack

1997 Single by Fleetwood Mac
1977 B-Side by Fleetwood Mac (Technically The Original)

--



1995 by William Orbit
1936 by Samuel Barber (Original)

First 3 are totally pop. Last one is punk. Sorry... No rock. :(

Gaga paying her dues back in 2006...

One of the best rock covers of all time...




And before anyone argues the point Mick Jagger himself admitted it was better than the original. (which in it's own right is incredible)

I actually forgot that was a cover. Interesting enough that the original performer John Kongos is actually the father of a current band making headway in the US called The Kongos.. (awesome band btw)

Jolene orig. Dolly Parton's song

Not saying either of the covers are better than the original but both are really good.

The Who: Young Man Blues and/or Summertime Blues.

This is the song that I immediately thought of when I started reading this thread.

this one just crushed me :pimp
love it, house of the raising sun by Syberian (Altai i think) group Bugotak, they use throat singing, simply amazing!

oh ye i know why i'm drinking beer and watching weird stuff.. it's friday again..
