You tubing around .. I found this video ... I know the original is perfect but I love this version of the song ... I think it's pretty damn good ...

Maybe not the best, but my two most fun covers. This:



and I still love the inventiveness of this.




I'm not sure if this is a cover or an interpretation, but I love it. This guy is so talented, he did every part of this himself, no sampling, and did all the harmonies himself, he didn't record one and just replay it, he actually recorded every voice and every musical part separately.

Michael Hutchence (RIP) covers Iggy Pop's "The Passenger"


Cassandra Wilson - Crazy Love. The Van Morrison version was our wedding song and I love that one, but this one makes me teary!

Oh, yes. That one ended up on a car commercial back in UK and it took years to track it down. Loved that one!

Now, I have to say, I am not a sentimental person. Anyone who knows me knows that this is true. I am, however, in love with this, which I may have found via this very site. If not... Well, enjoy.




If memory serves (it probably doesn't) that's a fan from the crowd singing.

For those who love Hard Rock or Metal .. interesting Cover of Madonna's song la isla bonita ..

A cover of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" by Megaherz




You did say BEST cover songs, right?


It's not a "best", since I don't know if I can pick one, but -

I like this "Rage Against the Machine" take on what was originally a folky Springsteen song. They made it "un-folky".



They do a killer version of "Maggie's Farm", as well.

That was a really cruel thing to inflict on your fellow posters.

Underneath that exterior that was a damn good spot on rendition...

Not the best cover (that would be Jeff Buckley), of a song that's had its 15 minutes, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say how awesome Tim Minchin was last week at Town Hall.

I think Daniel Lanois is amazing, and I love that his rendition of a Handrix song is his own playing and not an attempt to out slug Jimi.

Hat Trick, that's one of my all time favorites. And so much better than the Oasis version!
