Your best cover songs
 

I enjoy listening to covers on youtube.
Most are not so good and some are so bad you wonder why there are not laws against people with so little talent posting music on the web.
However, every now and then you find a real diamond amidst the stones.
Just found this one last night. Very good.

Post your favorite cover!

not very current I know, but then I never claimed to be trendy

original by Lori Lieberman in 72

Made her own the following year by Roberta Flack

and finally by Lauryn Hill of the Fugees in 1996

not sure that's what you ment Bill, but I enjoyed comparing them just now and it is a cover twice over.

Cheers Mark.

Can't play your vid in the US Mark, but yes any cover played well whether it's in the same style as the original or not.

I'm not that trendy either but here's one I like that someone (?) posted on the org a while back.

My apologies Bill hadn't realised that as the youtube tabs allow us to shortcode them, here's the full link

to be honest as I love the 50's & 60's I could post up all day as at that time just about all the major recording stars covered everyone else's work.

Cheers Mark.

Landslide. I prefer it to the original Fleetwood Mac. Reason, because I seriously heard the Pumpkins version before I ever heard the original!

Satisfaction (I can't get me no) - Devo.

I just love that tune it's wrong but so right. its so different from the Rolling Stones version. Dunno if there's a you-tube video of it out there can't check at work.

Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash.

Harrowing, just harrowing, but lovely for it.

Re: Your best cover songs
 

The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Better than Iggy's original IMHO.
