Re: Best Cover Songs
I also vote for Pearl Jam - Last Kiss and Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light.
I'm not sure I've ever heard the original, but I like Weezer's cover of My Velouria. Someone mentioned the cover of There She Goes, the only thing I didn't like about that was after a while I realized that for the rest of my life I am a hundred times more likely to hear the cover than the original on the radio, when the original is so good. I liked the Boys of Summer cover that someone did recently. And I like Green Day's concert version of Shout. |

Re: Best Cover Songs
Didn't read thread yet, but here's what comes to mind. Please express all agreement and disapproval.
Wild Horses - The Sundays --> One of the few covers that truly changes the sound of a song, IMO. Very close, if not better than the original. Blue Monday - Orgy --> First version by New Order was super bland, but probably cool at the time. Definitely a good job livening this song up. All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix --> obv choice Layla --> Eric Clapton --> If it qualifies as a cover, this may very well be the winner Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana --> Because Nirvana rules and truly owns this song. I don't think most people have ever even heard the original. |

Re: Best Cover Songs
[ QUOTE ]
I still love Pat Boone's cover album - the cover of Van Halens "Panama" was about the best on there. [/ QUOTE ] This stuff was GREAT!!! I also like Todd Rundgren's version of Never Never Land. The live version of this on Back to the Bars is actually better but I couldn't find a link to it. |
