Best Cover Versions
mAlice aforeThought:
--- Quote from: blindsuperhero ---I think covers of Bob Dylan songs, much like Leonard Cohen, lose much of what made them so brilliant. Unless the artist covering it is talented enough to bring something new to the song, they are never as good as the original.

that makes me think ov concrete blonde. every cover they do is fucking amazing (for that matter, every song they write is, too). and they've covered songs by both ov those ('simple twist ov fate' and 'everybody knows,' respectively.
also the sisters ov mercy do amazing covers, and have also covered songs by both ov those ('knocking on heaven's door' and 'teachers', respectively).

TheCourtJester:
I've always liked Goldfingers' remake of "99 Red Balloons."
