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

deathcab for cutie - waterfalls ❤️

Muse - Feeling Good

Blow Monkeys - You don’t own me

Disturbd - Sound of silence

Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
London Grammar - Bittersweet Symphony

Both brilliant - the former miles better than the original!!

Blue Man Group with Venus Hum - I feel Love. Absolute belter.

Yes, agree - love it!

High and Dry by Jamie Callum
Stand by Me by Ki:Theory
Home by The Wildwoods
Hounds of Love by The Futureheads

Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah (a subsequently much mis-covered song!!)

(Corpus Christi Carol on the same album is perfection, but I’m not sure if that really counts as a cover as such.)

The Sound of Silence - Disturbed. David Draiman's vocal is just 😙🤌 (also he's a lovely, lovely man)

Creep - In the style of Muse by Anthony Vincent (or just any of his "in the style of" covers, he's a magician)

Will have to listen to that.
their version of phantom of the opera is amazing

Nobody Does It Better - Radiohead

And pretty much anything by Scary Pockets, but for now this one will do....

Four brothers by Manhattan Transfer

KD Lang- Hallelujah
Communards- Don't Leave Me This Way
Cyndi Lauper- I'm Gonna Be Strong (love this version and Gene Pitney's original equally)
The Carpenters- Solitaire
Pet Shop Boys- Always On My Mind

Jorgen Dahl Moe- Dancing In The Dark (on The Voice, probably my favourite talent show audition ever)

Sound of Silence by Disturbed (Simon & Garfunkel cover)

Stereophonics- Handbags and Gladrags.
The Stranglers- Walk On By.

Miley Cyrus covering Hole’s Doll Parts:

Best cover of that song I’ve ever heard. The last minute of the song, when it reaches crescendo, is amazing.

Valerie - Amy Winehouse

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - Roger Daltry, just gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it.

Now I want to go and watch The Lost Boys

Red hot chilli peppers rollercoaster of love.

Love is blindness, by Jack White. It's so much better than U2!

Thankyou for reminding me that exists! Haven't listened to it in years!

Ooh, lots I love here. I'll just add Indigo Girls covering Romeo & Juliet. Can't stand Dire Straits myself but this version is so passionate and raw.

The White Buffalo does and amazing cover of The Highwayman. I've not heard the original but this one is outstanding.

Going to see them twice next year, I’m obsessed!

Aurora's cover of Oasis' Half the World Away.
