Great Covers

[Thaidup]

Should include this one, because its a great cover (legally speaking) and X's better than the original.

could not resist this cover of a classic 50's tv show.

Given the Timelords became the KLF, a Slovenian Mandolin cover of a KLF classic

This one surprised me, the cover has over 100 million views compare to 35 million, I still like the original better.

 

[Thaidup]

A great cover.

 

[Thaidup]

This cover should also be on that other thread about it being our fault GenX ers.

 

[Thaidup]

This cover gets it home.

 

[Thaidup]

More great covers to come.

Rick Astley sings Everlong

Brent Smith (Shinedown) does Phil Collins without drums

 

 

[lspab]

More Brent Smith, with Blue on Black, a classic. Whack up the volume

Otis Taylor 16 minute Trance Blues version of Hey Joe

I guess this is the original, but most will not know its the original version

Shinedown and Simple man; an arrangement that is now much copied on talent shows etc

With 1.5 BN views, I'm sure everyone knows this.

 

But this version by Yoyoka, who was only 9 years old at the time, is sensational.

At 3:25 look at her hitting the Bass drum in the bottom left hand window. She's hitting it at more than 6 a second: Phenomenal!

That's very impressive, but at nine years-old, shouldn't that really be Smells Like Pre-Teen Spirit?

Even though Do Ya was written by Jeff Lynne of ELO, it wasn't first recorded by ELO but later became famous by them redoing the song. Also can throw in Ace Frehley of Kiss on a solo thing doing it.

 Bon Jovi sings David Bowie---- and does it well.

@Thaidup

Yep, I think I prefer it to the original. The string arrangement sounds very good.

[Thaidup]

Can anyone remember where they have heard this song before? or am I just fixated on the visuals of the video? Its called Destination Unknown.

A hard one to cover unless you really mean it, and he does it well

And me thinking it was Jimi Hendrix

Honestly I will give them an 8 out of ten for attempting this cover, It is worth it but they took too long to get into the rift, I have not heard of any other band trying to cover this song with any success so be it. After all that, it sounds good in the last 3rd.

Dickhead forgot about this one.

Are friends Electric? Was a favorite song back in the 1980"s This chick does does a really good cover version, Another hard to find cover that is worth comparing to the original, I will call it a great cover,

 

[Thaidup]

There is a story behind this cover, allas, it is a great cover.

I was a teenager when this came out, MM
