Cover Versions?.....

One Dove - Jolene (Original Dolly Parton) . . . the intro's a tad long here but nonetheless this trip-hop version's a cracking cover

I love a tune they done called 'One Love'. Brilliant stuff. Shame that vid you posted a while back has been taken down.

This for me is one hell of a cover version. If you like a bit of filthy synth (I love a bit of it!) then give it a listen. Totally made it their own.

Kanye West's 'Stronger' covered by 30 Seconds To Mars - live!!

30 Seconds To Mars - Stronger

The Killers do an admirable cover of Joy Divisions Shadowplay.

From the film soundtrack of 'Control'.

I was going to go with Timmy Mallets cover of Brian Hylands 'Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini' but common sense prevailed.

The Killers- Shadowplay

^^^^^^^ Tune that! Seen it at the V in 2007. Loved it!

Loving this at the minute. The Stereophonics do well whilst toning it down. Two of my favourite bands in one there.

Stereophonics - Best Of You (Foo Fighters) - Live Lounge

The Pretenders - 'Stop Your Sobbing' Original by The Kinks

Pretenders - Stop Your Sobbing (1980)

According to the readers votes of mag "total guitar"

WORST

1. celine dion - you shook me all night long (ACDC)
2. sugababes and girls aloud - walk this way (AEROSMITH AND RUN DMC)
3. westlife - more than words (EXTREME)
4. will young - light my fire (THE DOORS)
5. mike flowers pops - wonderwall (OASIS)


BEST

1. jimmy hendrix - all along the watchtower (BOB DYLAN)
2. the beatles - twist and shout (TOP NOTES)
3. guns and roses - live and let die (WINGS)
4. nirvana - the man who sold the world (DAVID BOWIE)
5. muse - feelin good (NINA SIMONE)

i shudder to think what celine dion would've done with ACDC's "you shook me all night long" it is sacrelige and she should be shot in the face with a poo cannon . hendrix at number one sounds spot on , i'm strugglin to think of a better cover version

My picks of a few more covers that i think do justice to the originals ....

jeff buckley - hallelujah (LEONARD COHEN) ??
joe cocker - with a little help from my friends (THE BEATLES)
red hot chili peppers - higher ground (STEVIE WONDER)


another nomination for worst cover goes to ....

madonna - american pie (DON MCLEAN) it is truly awful

WORST

5. mike flowers pops - wonderwall (OASIS)

I thought that was hilariously great! It was a proper piss take and I can't believe it's been taken seriously. Actually, I think that Mike Flowers fella is a scouser as well isn't he?

Any cover Jeff did was brilliant. So underrated. Any cover westlife did. Well . . . No comment

Placebo - Runnin up that hill (KATE BUSH)

Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper (IRON MAIDEN)

My favourite one: Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was (original Bob Marley)

Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was

And also... Doesn't Make it Alright (original The Specials)

Stiff Little Fingers - Doesn't Make It Alright by SLF

One of my favourites. Johnny Cash. Hurt. Originally by N. I. N.

Brilliant that is, love it.

Editors - Orange Crush (REM) is very very good.

Editors could get on stage and cover the Spongebob Squarepants theme and you would still cream yer briefs.

Most bands have done a cover version in their time some with more success than others.

It doesn't have to be what you feel is the best, although feel free, just what are your favourites.

A few of mine to get the ball rolling

The Futureheads - Hounds Of Love ( Kate Bush)

The Futureheads - Hounds Of Love

Johnny Cash - Hurt ( Nine Inch Nails)

The White Stripes - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself ( Dusty Springfield)

I'm not sure mate, but I think there's a thread about this already.

Anyway... some of my favourite covers ever are Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was (Bob Marley), and The Specials - Pressure Drop (Toots and the Maytals)

I'm not sure mate, but I think there's a thread about this already.

I was just taking a read through the thread now bad boy.

I'm surprised I didn't post there at the time. Possibly wasn't on the forum that much around that time.
