Favorite Cover Song

[Mojambo]

Mine is a cover of The Donner Party song, "When I Was a Baby" performed by the New Pornographers.

So what are your favorite cover songs?

[Lautremont]

1. In Heaven (The Lady in the Radiator Song)

by the Pixies. Or Luna's cover of Bonnie and Clyde.

[Fenris]

2. Luna's cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" is also great.

[Nikepallas]

3. Hall and Oates You lost that lovin' feeling

AHHHH, Baby.... Damn my husband is at work.

[Fifth of Five]

4. Brian Setzer Orchestra cover of Sleepwalk n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Ooh! That's a good one too!

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Neville Bros

Ball of Confusion. Just came out. Awesome version.

[salin]

6. People Get Ready... Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart

Not a real Stewart fan... but this cover just sends chills up the spine for me...

[Kat45]

22. Funny, I was just thinking of that song yesterday.

I love it too. :-)

[Wickerman]

7. Feelies cover of Everybody's Got Something to Hide (except Me & My Monkey)

Yo La Tengo's version of Little Honda - inspired by San Antonio band Big Drag's cover of same. Feelies cover of Dancing Barefoot.

[flamingyouth]

20. That first Feelies album is so great

And I love the CD reissue, which included their equally awesome cover of "Paint It Black."

Have you ever seen the film "Smithereens"? They did the soundtrack for it. :thumbsup:

[Wickerman]

25. Smithereens - fun film with a Fantastic soundtrack

the band by the same name? Didn't work for me. Geez, thanks Lisa, now I have to go find Smithereens on DVD since I haven't watched it in years... :hi:

[KDLarsen]

8. "Das Modell" by Rammstein..

.. I think it's one of the most original covers ever done. Who the heck would have seen a metal group doing a electro-classic cover?

EDIT: Forgot to add, Robbie Williams does one hell of a version of "Rollin'" & "We Are the Champions". He only performs them live - the former as an extension of Kids. Listening to it right now, recorded at Roskilde Festival 2001.

[intheflow]

9. Don Henley - "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat"

...or was that Joe Walsh? One of those ex-Eagles dudes.

Another good one is the B-52's cover of "Downtown."


My boyfriend's choice is Guns-N-Roses covering "Knocking On Heaven's Door."

[lenidog]

14. It was Henley

I almost bought the soundtrack to the movie "Leap of Faith" which it is on this weekend at a used CD store. It was two bucks I may still go and get it. I would pay more for a CD single.

[peekaloo]

10. Michael Stipe/Natalie Merchant 'Hello in There'.

[Scrooge]

11. Dixie chicks

Landslide. I loved that from Stevie Nicks, and I loved it even more from DC.

[RUDUing2]

27. same here...DC cover of Landslide. but Stevies is my fave version. nt

[2bfree]

30. Same here!

DC version is good but doesn't even come close to Stevie, she is a goddess!

[JimmyJazz]

12. I Fought the Law - the Clash n/t

[lenidog]

15. YEAH!!

[lenidog]

18. BTW

Jimmy Jazz is probably one of my favorite Clash songs of all time

[JimmyJazz]

34. It's one of mine, too - but then again, I like most

of what they did! London Calling is just a magnificent piece of work - it's timeless. :hi:

[gmoney]

19. "Brand New Cadillac" - The Clash : Best Cover Ever

it's a basic, basic blues, but the performance is astounding.

[miss_kitty]

24. 'Look Here'

Clash covers Mose Allison on Sandanista!

[JimmyJazz]

35. I'm sorry, but I went to bed last night before I could comment -

you really are most Clashified, Miss Kitty - only one of many reasons why I love you!

:hi:

[miss_kitty]

36. Hey I knew it was late, 'Junco Partner'

another cover a guy I used to know can attribute to a Nawlins musician, but Sandinista says 'Copyright Control', on the vinyl, then it gets thrown into the 'All songs by the Clash' category on the CD.:shrug:

[donheld]

13. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"

Elton John kicked this songs assssssss

[Sporadicus]

16. Mr. Tambourine Man

With the opening guitar riffs of the Byrds' cover of this Bob Dylan song, I recognized that the world had somehow changed - and would never be the same again.

[lenidog]

17. Here is an obscure one

Nick Cave singing Kurt Weil's original version of "Mack The Knife" Lets say Bobby Darin really watered it down.

[dean_dem]

44. How about Nick Cave/ Shawn Magowan...

Doing "What a Wonderful World"? Now that's classic.
And Neko Case doing "Runnin' Out of Fools" gives me chills.

[u4ic]

21. Phil Collins

You Can't Hurry Love

[Kat45]

23. Eric Clapton's "Little Wing" is one.

[chenGOD]

26. Too many...

Killdozer - Unbelievable
Senor Coconut - Smoke on the Water
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Dead Kennedys - I Fought the Law
Squarepusher - Love Will Tear us Apart

but maybe my favourite cover is Jimi Hendrix's cover of Drivin' South.

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. Vanilla Fudge's KEEP ME HANGIN' ON

[eoberhauser]

31. I have SO many

I love covers, but simply for how hilarious it is I will give my vote to "Boys n tha Hood" remade by Superfast. If you have never heard this - it is so funny. It actually made me buy their album. Check it out.

[noonwitch]

32. Natalie Marchant's cover of "Because The Night"

I like the song, and she has a good voice.

[progressoid]

33. 'Smoke on the Water' by Senor Coconut

[mainegreen]

37. Faith No Mores cover of Warpigs

By Black Sabbath. Man they kicked that songs ass!

[malmapus]

38. Listening to it right now, The Joker - Smashing Pumpkins

Sounds like it was recorded in a smallish club, early stuff. But they're just having fun with the song and the crowd is totally singing along too...

[MissMillie]

39. UB40 covers Elvis

"I Can't Help Falling In Love With You"

[kick-ass-bob]

40. I just heard someone do 'The Wall'

Was it Korn?

That was pretty good.

[AlCzervik]

41. Blood hound gang's cover of It's tricky

[Steely_Dan]

42. Aerosmith's "Come Together"

[Rambis]

43. Nights In White Satin :The Dickies

Desolation Row: Bobby Weir does Dylan better than Dylan

[leftofthedial]

45. "Powderfinger" by The Beat Farmers

"1952 Vincent Black Lightning" by Del McCoury

"Take Me to the River" by Talking Heads

[liontamer]

46. a few

fountains of wayne, baby one more time
smashing pumpkins landslide
lou reed, this magic moment
scissors sisters, comfortably numb
indigo girls all along the watchtower
tori amos real men
Then there are the covers you forget are covers
patti smith, because the night
tiffany, i think we're alone now

[homebrewer]

47. all by myself by babes in toyland
