Who has done the best cover of a song? (2 Viewers)

Yeah I'd have to agree with that one. Ultimate coverage. He owns the song, most artists don't own their covers.

When are your holiday breaks at your firm anyway? You seem to balance your time quite well, if you're still hitting the office each day.

Also i-love-maynard, ok thanks for the notice. Tomatoe tomato.

Yeah, but so does timberlake and he's a bit of an alright (I think pretty much half her album/s are disposable pop, but i have grown on a few in the past)

I love radiohead though. OK Kid A?

What about Soft Cell's Tainted Love?

I really like Patti Smith's Gloria.

And Bryan Ferry's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.

I didn't mind motley crue's helter skelter. I don't enjoy their Anarchy in the UK, though.

Nirvana has done some good covers, like The man who sold the world and Where did you sleep last night.

+1

Apart from what's been said in this thread already, I liked the guns n roses cover of rose tattoo - nice boys.

Van Halen did a good job on You Really Got Me too i reckon.
Megadeth's cover of Paranoid.
Motley Crue's cover of helter skelter.

Mark Ronson- Toxic.

Who'd a thought anyone could make Britney look classy.

 

[Born2baplacebo]

I'll probably be skinned alive for this but i should say that i adore most of the other songs by the original artist

Ryan Adams cover of Oasis' wonderwall.

Also tainted love was 'covered' better by rihanna. SOS was heavily influenced by it

Was already a cover of the Jazz's version of Wonderwall.

APC's version of Imagine but killed When The Levee Breaks.

[Sayangliss]

Don't know if it's been mentioned:

Janis Joplin's cover of Gershwin's Summertime - some sweet guitaring.
&
Tori Amos' cover of Eminem's '97 Bonnie&Clyde - it's just so creepy it's awesome.

oh in that case my bad. i heard from some music freaks in high school that they heard two versions of wonderwall and that the music teacher hated oasis' version was shit and that the original one was done by a jazz guy.

Cradle of Filth's Iron Maiden cover of Fear of the Dark.
