There are some really great songs in the world. Sometimes, the original artist does a version that can NOT be matched, regardless of who does it. Sometimes, another artist will cover it, and put the original to shame. Some of my favorites: Hurt - Johnny Cash Dream a little dream - The Beautiful South Life in a Northern Town - The Beautiful South There will be others, but this is to start :)

Most of Holly Cole's covers beat the original. Two that are outstanding: "I can see clearly now" and "Losing my Mind" (the Sondheim song). E.

"Green Manalishi." and "Diamonds and Rust." By Judas Priest. "For The Love Of Money." By The Bullet Boys "Money." By The Dan Reed Network. (One of My favorite un-heard of bands.) "Train Kept-a-Rollin" and "Remember (Walking in the sand)" By Aerosmith. "Good Times, Bad Times." By Godsmack. "Dancing Days." By Stone Temple Pilots. "Purple Haze." By Winger. (Yes...I said Winger. I always liked them.) Oh man, soooo many more worth mentioning. I'm gonna be up all night thinking about this.

TheHeretic -> RE: Favorite cover tunes (4/29/2008 6:59:54 AM)
Well, White Rabbit already got a mention, but there is also a speed metal cover by Sanctuary that was a bit of fun. What Korn did with Another Brick in the Wall 1-3 was interesting, but nowhere near as good as the original.

SteelofUtah -> RE: Favorite cover tunes (4/29/2008 12:55:39 PM)
AWSOME SO FAR Here are a few to think about Joss Stone re did Under Pressure and although at first I was all ready to talk shit it was a GREAT cover cause she put a different spin on it Eric Clapton got FAMOUS (like more than he was) by covers such as Cocaine, I shot the sheriff, and Wonderful Tonight Tainted Love by Soft Cell is actually a Cover of Gloria Jones Elvis Presley Covered MOST of his work, Blue Suede Shoes and Hound dog most of his songs were Black Performer songs that he did and made famous. Sinead O'Conners Nothing Compares to you is a Prince Cover and most people didn't know prince ever even did it Nearly HALF of the songs Bob Dylan Wrote were made famous by OTHER People (Watchtower, Mr Tambourine man, Etc,etc) Aretha Franklin's cover of "Respect", originally done by Otis Redding. Blinded by the Light made famous by Manfred Mann's Earth Band was actually written by Bruce Springsteen Come on feel the Noize by Quiet Riot was originally done by Slade and mosty people I know never even heard of them. The POINT of this is MUCH of what we take as the original is just reconstituted recycles Old stuff. Enjoy GOOD THREAD Steel

IvyMorgan -> RE: Favorite cover tunes (4/29/2008 12:56:01 PM)
