Best Cover Songs

[ROCSteady]

There used to be a badass thread here about the best songs covered by another artist. I think it got deleted, but y'all put some goooood shit on there. Let's start over.

Which are your favorites? A few I like...

Dream On- Blacktop Mojo (originally Aerosmith)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow- IZ (Judy Garland)

Simple Man- Shinedown (Lynyrd Skynard)

[DaHeezy]

My all time is Fugees Killing Me Softly

[Prometheus]

All Along the Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (originally Bob Dylan)

Faith - Limp Bizkit (originally George Michael)

Most covers are worse - these two are both light years better than the originals.

As a huge Beatles fan I would say generally it's blasphemy to cover and rearrange their songs. But Joe Cockers version of With A Little Help From My Friends may be the only Beatles song to take it to the next level

Dope cover :rockon:

Staying on Joe Cocker dude can really slay Beatles songs. Across The Universe nailed EVERY cover, but the Joe Cocker Come Together was Fiyah! You can tell he really was into the groove

Seems like they tried to replicate the exact sound of the Beatles' version (that skinny dude sounds exactly like Harrison) rather than making it their own.

And that guitar solo was very impressive from a technical standpoint - I can't play that fast - but it did not serve the song IMO and was just a lot of jerking off the guitar.

The very end was pretty cool when they did the harmonized stuff.

I like some of the off the wall ones like the acoustic version of Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya’

I remember the last time this thread came around. haha.

Old Johnny Cash killed Hurt and Personal Jesus.

I listen to a lot of folk ballads, but you can't really call those 'covers.' Jus different people's versions.

Y'know the White Stripes cover of Jolene is one of the best covers ever. The White Stripes were good, but speaking of bands that never evolved... still, they pulled some shit out with that song. Mind blowing, to me.

I kinda like Beck's cover of Pink Moon.

Of course Dead Flowers by TVZ.

Van Halen covering The Kinks "You Really Got Me"

Thought that the band Orgy did a great job of covering New Order's "Blue Monday"



And if anyone says Turn the Page by Metallica.... they need kicked in the fvckin balls 500x

[ShawkFactory]

Whitney murdered

[ShawkFactory]

Stevie Ray Vaughn with little wing is another classic.

Very few can match Hendrix at guitar. He did and then some

[Nanners]

I love Van Morrisons cover of Comfortably Numb that showed up in the Departed
