The Cover Version Thread

Dinosaur Jr. covering The Cure:

Best way to end a song you can't end

I daren't link The Fatima Mansions 'cover' of Shiny Happy People. It might get me banned. This probably doesn't qualify as a cover but it always puts a smile on my face:

RIP Chris.

The Horrible Crowes doing Katy Perry's "Teenage Dreams"

Give it a week or two and I might have a video of me doing this version as I've finally added it to my repertoire after being asked about 4 years ago...

Snuff doing I Think We're Alone Now:

I only found out a while ago that Tiffany's version is a cover.

Not something I'd particularly thought about but was a surprise.

Learn something new every day...

Roberta Flack’s version of Feel Like Making Love is all sunny and bouncy. D’angelo did a number on it.

Broadcast's cover of my favourite Nico song. Can't stop listening to Broadcast at the moment:

 

[Red_is_best]

Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Delilah.

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Here’s a belter that most people don’t know is a cover

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Big name band and well known song, but did you know this was also a cover ……

 

[Thing]

Bizarre but in an unnervingly good way?

Foo Fighters doing the Bee Gees.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

The BBC test card version of Mouldy Old Dough by Werner Muller

 

[Wyke Red]

The whole Exit Eden album is covers but lets have this one

 

[Jollyroger]

This is a remix of a cover of a song she wrote. Lovely lady

Been a few versions but this one has always been my favourite. Strangely I thought this was their own song when I first heard it.

The Rubinoos - I Think We're Alone Now (single 1977)...............................I have that single somewhere.

Blondie - Released today is a previously unheard version of their cover of Moonlight Drive by the Doors from a new rarities box set.

Big Country's cover of Blacksabbath's Paranoid.
Adamson really was incredibly versatile.

 

[VladKinder]

Wagakki Band cover of Bring me to Life (FT Amy Lee). Epic!

 

[spanishman]

Beck, Bogert & Appice - Superstition

I guess this may not be classified as a cover. As I have just read that the song was written for Jeff Beck by Stevie Wonder.

 

[spanishman]

From the same album - a cover of a Don Nix song....

Sweet Sweet Surrender

 

[spanishman]

Winter Song covered by Def Leppard
