Cover versions of well-known songs

This just might be my favorite Pink Floyd cover that I know of.

 

Here’s a good song to listen to on a cold, rainy day. The Melodicka Bros have a cover series called Way Too...(Happy, Sad, Etc.), which is pretty much the opposite feel of the original song.

william shatner did a cover of david bowie's space oddity. yes he is talking throughout the song but ritchie blackmores guitar work sets the mood like no other. a must listen if you love guitar. don't have the link but can be found on you tube.

You've heard "In the Air Tonight" and "Gimme Shelter" a million times, but never like this. Golden Buzzer!

I heard this over the weekend. Kind of wish I hadn't.

I love his voice, but just don't like this rendition at all. 

Now, his version of Led Zeppelin;s Thank You, or Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U....now those are great!

I blundered into these guys a couple months ago.The singer is fair at best but the musical expertise is great.

Again

Dang it Snake, you made me cry!  She's incredible! ??

There is a series of albums called "Pickin' On.....". They do bluegrass covers of popular songs and artists. Here is them doing 'Wonderwall' by Oasis.... Dare I say it's almost better than the original...

Well known to Genesis fans at least.

 

[Snake45]

This is now my alltime favorite version of "Lean on Me," performed by this year's America's Got Talent Top 10 finalists. Note that at least four of these acts aren't even singers, though three of them stepped up and sang a line or two in the spirit of the thing. Several of the real singers are absolutely outstanding. The older gentleman (the guy who spent 37 years in prison falsely accused of a crime before being released) might not be the absolute best singer in the world, but there is something very appealing about his voice and he often put me in mind of Louis Armstrong and/or Ray Charles. I hope his future is VERY bright.

Another one where the remake is probably better known than the original,  William Shatner's take on Pulp's "Common People"

Devo does Nine Inch Nails:

 

A Smiths cover that I think improves on the original

Remake ofr Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" from the show Legion
