Two covers at one time! Also, I can't believe this is the best video of the Soft Cell version I could find.

Another synth pop band covering two songs at once.

oh i just thought

not fade away ..... stones vs dead

cr****

Buddy Holly's original is still far superior to both the Stones and the Dead.


My favorite cover: Leon Russell and Joe Cocker doing Dylan's "Girl From the North Country" on Mad Dogs & Englishmen

(sorry, no youtube videos)

[TomAz]

the Bobby Fuller Four did not do the "original" I Fought The Law.


also, sydaud wins the thread.


here are my measly contributions

[chairmenmeow47]

i can't view all the videos

almost every beatle cover i like more than the originals:

i call your name - mama's and the papa's
across the universe - fiona apple
she's leaving home - tori amos
try with a little help from my friends - joe cocker
he said, she said - the black keys
all you need is love - echo & the bunnymen

some others i love:

iron man - the cardigans
champagne supernova country style - ben folds five
sally's song - fiona apple

i'll add more later...

^Didn't Sonny Curtis & the Crickets do it first? (In response to TomAZ's "I Fought the Law" comment)

Whoa whoa whoa AWESOME.

[wmgaretjax]

Whoa whoa whoa AWESOME.

there is a great cover of Only Shallow on that album as well.

[SoulDischarge]

Holy shit, I just remembered You Are The Blood is a cover, which right here and now /thread for me. But it's sort of cheating if the original isn't that widely known, right?

Although it should be because the Castanets are fucking fantastic.


Original: The Seeds - No Escape


Cover: Cabaret Voltaire - No Escape

[MissingPerson]

I think we can all agree that Colin Farrell's semi-spoof cover of I Fought The Law is the definitive one.

[miscorrections]

there is a great cover of Only Shallow on that album as well.

Downloading now. I only have Thaumogenesis but I should probably pick up everything else because I love it.

[bmack86]

I'm listening to the Nadja album and Needle in the Hay is the definite highlight.

[wmgaretjax]

Aidan Baker is the man. His album with Tim Hecker is fucking bliss on vinyl.

[herro kitty]

Very awesome music video.


Very awesome cover!

[AlecEiffel]

That pet shop boys cover makes me want to stab my eyes out.

True, it is pretty terrible and I know it goes against the point of the thread, but I just thought I'd include it for its synth-pop-two-covers-at-onceness.

[zenidogx]

[TallGuyCM]

Absolutely hands down the best cover I have ever heard by a long shot! :

Fantasma Parastasie? I've got it but I never got around to listening. I'll be sure to.

Pearl Jam has a bunch...i'll look some up later...
