iamsuperdan Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Chris Cornell did an amazing version of Led Zeppelin's Thank You.
JollySipper Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I don't know how to post a link, but The Cardigans did a cover of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Kind of Surreal with the lyrics being sung in her soft voice.... Fu Manchu has covered BOC's "Godzilla" too, it's pretty good. I have a playlist on Napster that's nothing but covers...
Tom Geiger Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 On Monday we were sitting at the bar enjoying Happy Hour at our favorite watering hole. A couple in our age group was sitting next to us, and "Jumping Jack Flash" was playing. They were debating that it didn't sound like Mick Jagger... So I told them it was Peter Frampton's version. They laughed and we wound up friends with them for the evening.

Classicgas Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Check out Apologetix on youtube. They do covers of all sorts of stuff from the 60's to more current stuff.
Richard Bartrop Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 A cover of a famous song, but in this case, it's the cover version that's the best known one. Nick Lowe did this song first, but Elvis Costello did it better. On the other hand, most people are familiar with Happy Mondays' version of this song, but John Kongos did it first, and best.

Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds and Linda Ronstadt all did vastly superior covers of it.
iamsuperdan Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I discovered this bizarre gem last weekend. Tori Amos doing a very haunting and unique version of Slayer's Raining Blood. Here's the original for those unaware. I like them both.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) The "Stone Coyotes" version of an old "Dolly Parton" song. I really like this band, Tight roots punk with a bluesy country THANG. Full concert here... Oh, heck yah, just play this loud ! Edited September 28, 2019 by STYRENE-SURFER
afx Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 There have been a few great covers of Jolene.
Snake45 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Jolene is absolutely my all-time favorite Dolly Parton song, no matter who's singing it. Thanks all for the great covers! Now, in a similar vein.... Here's a more modern song in the same vein. Different song completely, different style, but absolutely the same theme, same message:

Richard Bartrop Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 That Elvis Costello video was shot in Stanley park in Vancouver. I used to live in the area, and I recognized the totem poles.
Bronzekeg Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 if you love drums, guitar solos,and great vocals check out the Ian Gillan Band cover of Child in Time. you won't be disappointed. from the early 70's and still sounds great today.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) How bout a FAKE cover song. Talking Heads Song Ha Ha. Edited October 5, 2019 by STYRENE-SURFER
Jantrix Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Check out a band called Tragedy on YouTube. They do metal versions of old Beegees tunes. The music is fun and they don't take themselves very seriously. It's a hoot.

It's not really a cover per se, but if you head over to You Tube, look up the "shred" songs. This guy reworks videos. And it cracks me up.
