Anyone Like Covers?
 

The Webb Sisters ft. Leonard Cohen - If It Be Your Will

Just a chance to show that off. Awesome song, awesome cover, awesome concert. (I didn't go, but the album is great - especially his poems.)

Any great covers you guys wanna share?

No, I'm not that stupid. I just had to be a jerk.
 

I have some blue sky and cloud covers on my bed. They're pretty rad...

Oh! You're talking about music covers! Well, I know they already have their own thread, but The Adventures of Duane and BrandO have a pretty rad cover of the Punch-Out song.

The cover of I Fought the Law by The Clash is the best version of the song I've heard.

This probably goes without saying. But Johnny Cash's Hurt is still.. pretty damn sweet.

And Jailhouse rock by Queen is good. But there's probably much better covers out there.

Well... considering I like Rapalje.
And considering Rapalje plays covers/adaptations of traditional folk songs.

Yes, I do think I like covers. :P

But in general, I prefer the original over the cover.

Most amazing cover of any song I've ever heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=596qaxm-u4o

Cake - I Will Survive

SikTh does Iron Maiden's Wrathchild

I just found this and I'm a huge fan of SikTh.

I can see why people wouldn't like it.

I think its great.

For reference, here's an older thread on covers.

I personally like "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by They Might Be Giants.

Some of my favorite songs are covers, but it just depends on how well they do.

Covers I like better than original:

• van Canto covering Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden.
  
• Blind Guardian covering Mr. Sandman by The Cordettes.
  
• Primus covering The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band.

And a few not better or worse IMO, but still awesome:

• Deftones covering Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Can't stand the Shinedown version, though.
  
• van Canto covering Battery by Metallica.
  
• Blind Guardian covering Surfin' USA and Barbara Ann by The Beach Boys.
  
• Of course, van Canto covering The Bard's Song by Blind Guardian. (original)

Those are just the ones I can think of right now.

Fuck yeah.
