Favourite Covers of Original Songs

[Spock]

preferably songs that aren't just unimaginative copies of the original but something more interesting.......for example, here's the original Huey Lewis and the News version of "power of love" and an excellent (and unique) interpretation of the same song by i fight dragons

and i also really love this (aha-reel big fish)

[Alex652]

[Akira]

^ That's probably my favourite cover

[Spock]

[ratty]

hux, the Beat It cover made me

[Spock]

[buttonlane]

Dear Prudence by the Beatles. Lennon composition.

Siouxsie and the Banshees version is so much better than the original. Great track.

[[Martin]]

[LittleMissMouse]

I'm not sure who covered who here, and I do like the Flo Rida version and the Avicii version of Good Feeling, but this version kicks bottom.

[Flowerbomb]

Prefer Adeles make you feel my love to Bob Dylans.

[Pablo Huntsbach]

Also how is there a music thread that I haven't already dumped some replacements or westerberg related thing in?

[Pal]

[Pathetic_Earthling]

How about some disco Pink Floyd from the Scissor Sisters?

Lots of comments on Youtube from people who absolutely hate it but I think it's pretty neat and definitely not a boring carbon copy of the original.

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself- The White Stripes
Anybody else covering Bob Dylan- Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque album is brilliant and also The Byrd's Mr Tambourine Man as it is actually in tune for a start!
I Am The Walrus- Oasis

[Pal]

Three excellent covers (IMV anyway)
