What is your favorite cover of a song?

[Soubriquet]

I have alternate taste and I like rock, metal
and alternate music.

I recently came across this cover of Zombie by the Cranberries being covered by Erin and the Rock Orchestra.

It’s an amazing cover. Deloris was one of a kind when it comes to this song, but damn with the orchestra backing her. Erin really did this song justice

Anything on the pop goes punks albums makes me happy!
I prevail’s covers are great

Whitney Houston I will always love you
is a great cover

Hurt - cover by Jonny Cash

Sidewalks + skeletons cover of Crystal Castles tune Char

Bit obscure but Tori Amos's cover of Angie (Rolling Stones)

Somewhere over the rainbow by Israel kawasako I think was his name.

Man who sold the world by Nirvana
Enjoy the Silence by Lacuna Coil* *
Sweet dreams by Manson

Whisky in the Jar by Metallica

The Joke by Brandi Carlisle- it was partly covered by a young 14 year old on America's got Talent - it was incredible but sadly not the full song.

Also Kevin Sims - he does beautiful covers. YouTube him.

Skunk anansie - you do something to me

The Sound of Silence - Disturbed

it's miles better than the original

The Sundays cover of Wild Horses
Stereophonics cover of Handbags and Gladrags
Jamelia’s cover of Numb by Linkin Park will always be up there!

I love Morrissey's cover of It's Over.
I'm quite partial to David Gray singing Say Hello, Wave Goodbye.

One I just remembered; Tainted Love by Soft Cell.

With a Little Help From My Friends by Joe Cocker. Even the Beatles said it was his song now.

Nothing Compares 2 U. Sinead. Perfection
Valerie - Amy Winehouse
YY to Joe Cocker. His version of The Letter is pretty splendid also.

Yes to I Prevail and Disturbed! I'll add:
Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm and
Can you Feel the Love tonight by Simple Plan

Always On My Mind - Pet Shop Boys

George Michael's cover of Bonnie Rait's 'Can't make you love me.'

Where The Streets Have No Name by the PSBs is magnificent also.

I’m not sure if it counts but Aha did an acoustic cover of Take on Me and it’s miles better.

So many people think that's the original.

Any Bronski Beat/Erasure/Communards/Marc Almond covers are always far better than the originals.
I say this as a huge Donna Summer and Disco fan.

A Day To Remembers cover of Since U Been Gone.

Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
