Best Cover Versions
ElClandestino:
Without a doubt, my favorite cover is the Eagles of Death Metal version of Stuck in the Middle With You (they called it stuck in the metal...ha) originally by Stealer's Wheel
icu:
Favorite covers that come to mind right now:
(not a huge fan of covers unless the artist puts their own stamp on the song without 'ruining' it - delicate balance):
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground"
or
SRV - Hendrix's "Little Wing"
(or his "Third Stone from the Sun" on the 'Live At The El Macambo' video - good Hendrix covers are rare)
If I can mention a worst (as it's sour taste is still with me) it would be that debacle at the Grammy's - "Across the Universe" (I have a wmv of it *ah yes here )It's not all bad I must say - Stevie rules and a few others were okay - I just don't think they did the song justice at all - kinda ruined it imo. (maybe a rehearsal would have helped?)
Johnny C:
--- Quote from: rynne ---I like a few of Tom Jones' recent cover/collaborations:
Tom Jones with the Cardigans covering Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House"
--- End quote ---
Oh my God YES. I have a copy of this on my computer, and it blows me away every time.
Also, I thought APC's cover of Imagine kind of missed the point entirely.
ElRodente:
me first and the gimme gimmes - Hava nagila ¬_¬
and auld lang syne

any cover johnny cash does, ever, is amazing. he is the god of music. i have him doing covers of danzig songs. on another hand, any cover done by an undoubtably ska band of an eighties song is bad. i've heard a lot. they are all bad. i agree with the comic on this one. it has to stop. also bad: covering "love will tear us apart." i'm looking at you, fallout boy. stop it. that song is amazing. we don't need you "softcore"ing it up. leave it alone. unless johnny cash comes back from beyond the grave and covers it, then it will be amazing.
