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

I give you Common People by William Shatner.

There is such venom in the lyrics, You want to sleep with common people. Like me?

I love the original but I do like this version of Killing Me Softly by The Fugees

Machinehead Message in a Bottle. Best metal cover ever😁👌

Smooth criminal by the alien ant farm

This would be my pick, superb version

Sympathy for the Devil - Motorhead

I prefer the Marilyn Manson version 😁

I can see clearly now by Hot House Flowers

I like it - but I do prefer the original

I heard a remix of Disturbed on holiday this year that I quite like. It's number 16 in the French charts.

The Futureheads - Hounds of Love.

Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

The Beat. Can’t get used to losing you
Cake. I will survive
The Specials. Monkey Man

Disturbed...Sound of Silence

Johnny Cash 'Personal Jesus', Bryan Ferry 'Jealous Guy' and Donna Summer 'Could it be Magic' off the top of my head

Nightwish covering Pink Floyd’s ‘High Hopes’. The original is brilliant but they take it to another level.

Placebo's cover of Running up that Hill. And Beth Rowley singing 24 hours from Tulsa On the BBC Electric Proms. It's just fabulous but sadly not released by her so it's just on the iplayer/youtube.

Another vote for Killing Me Softly by the Fugees.

Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson

The best cover version, of anything, ever.

Cissy Houston..I just don't know what to do with myself.. better than Dusty Springfields version.
Nine times..the moments.
Might be bit niche both Northern soul records.

YY to Placebo doing Running Up That Hill. Also Gomez did a gorgeous version of Wichita Lineman years ago on a Dermot O'Leary show.

Turisas' version of Rasputin is pretty decent. Though I think the drummer must end it completely exhausted!

Linkin Park's version of Adele's Rolling in the Deep

Olivia Newton John's cover of Jolene.

I love the "Wichita Lineman" cover by Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17). Sounds so chilly and bleak.

Lewis Capaldi covered Britney Spears 'Everytime' and I absolutely love it.
