I'm a big fan of the quilt. I used to like sheets, but now I barely even use one. Got all twisted in the middle of the night too much, plus I always untuck the covers from the bottom of the bed so I can tuck them under my feet, and it was tough to coordinate the length of the sheet with the length of the quilt. More specifically, I like a nice down quilt.

I posted it in the random music thread, too. But I like Mary J Blige singing U2's One. I don't know if it's really a cover because Bono sngs the first part, but she sings the rest.

I thought it was very telling of how powerful and awe inspiring this version of Dave Matthews is when Bob Dylan proclaimed it "the best version made too date" coming from Bob Dylan that was very high praise. This version was also highly ranked in rolling stones top Covers. It was mentioned in the pitch a time or too as well.

Good thread idea.



One of my favorite cover CD's is Rhythm, Country and Blues, which is a compilation of old R&B and Country tunes where they pair up Country and R&B singers to perform them.
http://www.amazon.com/Rhythm-Country-Blues-Various-Artists/dp/B000002OR2
This one is Funny How Time Slips Away with Al Green and Lyle Lovett. It was always one of my favorite songs and I think this is my favorite version.

I never knew it, but this was also one of my dad's favorites. A musician and friend who often played at dad's bar did this at his funeral. Not a dry eye in the house, I can tell you.

I won't say it's a better version, but Devo's Satisfaction seemed to really capture the spirit of the song. Jagger thought it was the best cover of the song he had heard. I guess it depends on whether you liked Devo. They were sort of a love em/hate em band.

I'm a big fan of cover tunes. Great inclusions by everyone so far. Here's some of my favorites:

DeVotchKa covering the Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs":

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M4CQEruH1JQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M4CQEruH1JQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Dark and sexy with that old world, Middle Eastern flair that DeVotchKa uses in their music (which was employed by the VU in the original, so it was an excellent choice by DVK to cover this tune). Great band that follows on the heals of 16 Horsepower (one of the best alt-country/folk rock bands ever).

from Sade's 'No Ordinary Love' to Skynards 'Simple Man'. I love hearing that Deftones twist. They do a really good cover of The Cars 'Drive' and Duran Duran's 'nightboat' too.

My personal favorite cover is their version of Jawbox's 'Savory'

Styx, "I Don't Need No Doctor", sung by Lawrence Gowan in a good imitation of Blackie Lawless from WASP, who did their own excellent cover version. Haven't heard the Humble Pie version in a while so I'm not sure how close Lawless's version was to that, or if Humble Pie's was closer to the original Ray Charles version...

I remember back about 86' / 87' there was a drummer from (T-Rex I think someone told me once???) who did a cover of Del Shannons "my little runaway" rocked it to hell.
Loui Cavaza or something or other like that . (never could remember the guy's name)

I just remember the video had dancing dinosaurs, and the last clips were a dinosaur band with him singing behind the drum kit while he played and the skins on his kick drums said T-Rex.

Always enjoyed this one.

Meh, in the words of Simon Cowell 'what did you just give me that I couldn't see in any piano bar in any medium sized city?'

That said, I have high expectations of a Creep cover. I doubt anything will top the original. But Brandi puts a good deal of herself into her version.

Incredibly disappointed that no one's included Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as interpreted by Jeff Buckley. One of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Wish I knew where to find it, but there's a great article on the pedigree of Hallelujah, how different it was when Cohen first recorded it, how he tweaked, how Jeff turned it into a standard and how it became a soundtrack staple.

Anyone who digs this stuff OWES it to themselves to pick of Jennifer Warnes' 'Famous Blue Raincoat' an entire album of Cohen covers [not including Hallelujah] and perhaps one of the best mastered albums ever.

Thinking about Sonic Youth's cover reminded me that the Carpenter's cover album was where I was convinced that Sheryl Crow had a helluva voice

Was never a LB fan, but when they played this at the MTV Metallica tribute concert, I thought that they absolutely killed it:

I've never seen that. Love Metallica, hate Fred Durst, but this is a good cover IMO.

Yeah I'm no LB fan either but I've got every Metallica cd and IMO,they rocked the shit on that cover.:clap:


I guess I'm missing something, because that was horrible. I remember watching that. Sucked then and still sucks now.

Not really much of a Stones fan but I gotta say that this cover is crap. The original is much better. I hate it when artist do a cover and change it a lot. Keep it true and just add a little of your flair and it's usually okay.

I was going to post the Cash version. I love that song and most of his late stuff in general.

Their cover of "House of the Rising Sun" is just so obvious.

Depends on how they change it.

This song was originally recorded by Joan ****ing Baez. :Lin:


I should add that opinion generally only applies if I already know the original. :)

I remember as a teen Armored Saint had a cover of Saturday Night Special. I didn't know it was a cover of Skynard. I knew Skynard but not much of them at the time. This old fart got pissed when he showed me the original and I told him Armored Saint's version was better. ROFL Yes, I was just a dumb teenager.

I suppose you can either thank or revile the Gourds for starting the whole bluegrass/folk/country artists covering rap...

Yeah, I'm not a huge Skynyrd fan but that's borderline sacrilegious. :D

I would say almost 90% of the time, I would automatically say "the original is better". That has most to do with the amount of respect I have for music and the music that came before me.

I love Jimi Hendrix, for example, but "All Along the Watchtower" is Bob Dylan's song.

The Priest cover below is the one example where I prefer the cover over the original - when the original is something I would never in a million years listen to if it hadn't been covered, like Marilyn Manson covering "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the Eurythmics.

James Taylor covering "Woodstock" on the Howard Stern Show. Most beautiful and chilling.

Eddie Vedder and the boys cover The Who classic "Love, Reign O'er Me".

While not a famous group, these kids at this school perform Tool's 46 and 2 quite well. I especially dig the little girl singing and the drummer.

John Mayer live dvd/concert in LA "Where the Light Is" in 2007.

Btw - This is probably one of the best live concerts I've heard from anyone in a very, very long time. Dude is a f'n master guitarist. Below are just 2 covers he plays during the concert. But if you like good music and good guitar playing, I suggest playlist the entire concert.
