Cover Version Night

[sunny-dave]

There was an absolutely grim cover of Seven Nation Army posted here yesterday ... but actually I quite like cover versions that re-invent the original.

This turns an Echo & the Bunnymen classic into something strange end ethereal ... any other cover version favourites out there ?

[sunny-dave]

I don't think it was originally written for seven ukeleles ... :)

oops, perhaps i should have read the title or pressed play first : )

well, Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower wasn't bad... I won't post a link as I've got it permanently on a loop in my head

This certainly reinvents the original - but not in a good way ...

Prefer this, slower, haunting version.

George Michael brought out a version of the classic New Order song True Faith....it was about the worst cover version I have ever heard.

Like the Mad World cover, the best covers are those that change a song significantly

The Ramones original is one of my favourites but this totally different version is pretty good

This is the best cover version ever in my opinion. 100 times better than the Neil Young original.

There's something about Johnny Cash cover versions. This is genius.
