Song covers
-
Im bored, I've got heaps to do at work today but its just not happening. The code I'm working on takes about 15 mins to run and test itself which makes it hard to get into a grove. I was reading an article in the paper about a band called Dinosaur Jr, they're one of my favorties so I thought I'd have a look for some of their clips on you tube. This reminded me of a cover they did of a song called Just Like Heaven by The Cure which I always thought was a great intepretation of the original. So my question is this - which bands have covered songs that you have liked more than the original? Here is Dinosaur Jr[^]
Dino Jr's Show Me The Way is also fantastic. i like Gillian Welch's version of Radiohead's Black Star better Cowboy Junkies' Sweet Jane and I'm So Lonesome I Could Die also Cowboy Junkies' version of Dino Jr's Post Bauhaus' Telegram Sam Talking Heads' Take Me To The River (my vote for best cover, ever) Pixies' Head On Guns n Roses' Mama Kin Superchunk's It's So Hard To Fall In Love (written by Lou Barlow, also of Dino Jr) John Coltrane's My Favorite Things - though, saying something's a "cover" in jazz is silly - it's all covers.

I much prefer Metallica's version of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page."

I'd say Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along The Watchtower" is better than Bob's.

Blasphemy.

Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". A good NIN song, but much better with Johnny's old voice. And Marylin Manson's "Sweet dreams". Such a boring song in the original. Although I'm not really fond of MM, I think his version's better.
All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

I had no idea that was a cover, also a great song.

Elton John's versions of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Pinball Wizard" Wall Of Voodoo's version of "Ring Of Fire". The original is good too, but I don't crank it.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Little Wing, fantastic instrumental. Fun Lovin Criminals cover of Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne, I love the original too, but the Fun Lovin Criminals one is a great lounge version!
