Under the covers...

[Sensual_Goddess]

We have a few song threads, but I haven't found one that deals specifically with covers.
Do you have a favorite? One you despise? One you never knew was a cover until someone bitchslapped you for crediting it to the wrong artist?
Include your youtube links if you like.

I'll start with a favorite. I hope you'll climb in with me...

I must admit to liking Linda Ronstadt's cover of "Willin'" better than Little Feat's original.

 

[BlueNightingale]

The one of the few covers like is Jimmy Buffet's version of "The Stars Fell on Alabama"
He managed to make that stupid song beautiful.

 

[janeyl]

Hallelujah~Jeff Buckley

...breathtaking...

 

[Hissub1111]

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails' Hurt

 

[janeyl]

Or...Joe Cocker~With A Little Help From My Friends

Kicked the Beatles way into touch...(mind you, they were always over rated...)

 

[ColonelCrow]

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails' Hurt

Oh, absolutely. I was going to suggest this one if nobody else did. Actually pretty much all the covers he did with Rick Rubin as producer were awesome.

 

[Lily13]

Gimme Just A Little More Time - Angela Clemmons

I like this version better than Chairmen of the Board.

You're welcome. Glad you liked it.

J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers did the original.

 

[Hissub1111]

Thank you Daizie.

Here is one I cringe at and turn the station. Limp Bizkit covering George Michael's 'Faith'.

 

[daus42]

UB40- covering Neil Diamonds Red Red Wine

 

[daus42]

Gov't Mule - covering Tower of Powers - What Is Hip

 

[Benzboy]

It doesn't get any better than William Shatner covering Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

 

[daus42]

He is awesome.....I love this cover too!

 

[jeff_is_smiling]

I like Derek and the Dominoes version of Little Wing better than the Hendrix version.....

 

[Sensual_Goddess]

SRV does a great cover of Little Wing. I thought it was the original for years. One of those bitchslap moments I mentioned in the OP

 

[ManOSafety]

Los Lobos' cover of The Dead's Bertha on the album Deadicated

I can only find video of live versions, but live I'd have to vote for The Dead.



Also, Anthrax's version of Bring The Noise is pretty awesome, though that is technically in collaboration with PE

Bring The Noise
