Favourite Cover?

[H8H8H8]

I think this thread has been done before, but I’ve just discovered my favourite ever cover.

It’s James TW’s version of Torn, originally by Natalie Imbruglia.

I thought her original was ok, nothing to write home about, but I’ve had his on repeat for days now (it’s especially good if you’re listening on a device with good bass).

What’s your favourite cover?

@RabitWhole

I really love John Meyer's cover of Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. I absolutely love Tom Petty but I think John's version is better!

I just heard this the other day and loved it.

Walk on by - The Stranglers. So totally different from Dionne Warwick's original version.

Chris Cornell’s cover of Patience.

Disturbed cover of Land of Confusion.

There are some great covers mentioned here!

Travis covering Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Stevie Wonder - At Last

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Hounds of Love by the Futureheads - cover perfection

Tainted Love by Soft Cell

Yes, and the 12” version which was always played in clubs which had Soft Cell’s cover of Where Did Our Love Go mixed into it.

Metallica's cover of Whisky in the Jar, banging

Really enjoying postmodern jukebox on youtube atm. Really like wannabe and all about that base.

He came third the year Leona won the X Factor. Such a lovely lovely guy who's a friend of my ds2. Ds went to see him at his recent gig and had a great time!

Agree with Post Modern Jukebox stuff, Lana Del Ray covers, but I LOVE the haunting quality of this and stunning vocals especially at the end. Wicked Game by Daisy Gray.

You just did as did I ages ago

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the guitar solo by Prince is the best guitar solo ever in the history of the world

Comfortably Numb by Scissor Sisters

@EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn

I Don’t Like Mondays by Tori Amos.

That’s amazing…

I’ve never thought I’d heard that cover and would never have known Tori Amos covered that track… but just from reading your post I instantly knew the song as it featured in The West Wing in a really emotional episode. Gorgeous cover.

[/quote] I LOVE that Daisy Gray cover.

Thrashing Doves - Sympathy for the Devil

Small Faces - You've really got a hold on me

Guns N Roses version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door is the best, and I love Everything but the Girl's cover of I don't Wanna Talk About it.
I also prefer the Roxy Music version of Jealous Guy.
