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

All along the watchtower Jimi Hendrix (Bob Dylan cover)

Brilliant. One of the most underrated albums.

The man who sold the world by Nirvana (Lulu/ Bowie)

Life of Agony’s version of Redemption Song is one of my faves.

Maxwells cover of this woman's work - Kate bush original.

Miley Cyrus cover of fade into you - by mazzy star.

Anthony from Anthony and the Johnsons covering Cohen's If It Be Your Will.

The first time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack. Perfect.

Heart covering stairway to heaven at the Kennedy centre.

The Sound of Silence - Disturbed

So pleased there is so much love for this

I can't choose, there are just too many good ones, so apologies for the list.

Blame it on the Boogie - The Jacksons
Got My Mind Set on You - George Harrison
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Hurt - Johnny Cash
I Fought the Law - The Clash
Easy - Faith No More
Hard to Handle - The Black Crowes
Twist and Shout- The Beatles
Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns 'n' Roses

Plus lots more already mentioned. You all have great taste.

George Michael's cover of Bonny Raitt's I can't make you love me

The only living boy in New York
Everything but the girl.

Florence Welch did a magical version of Times Like These when that scallywag Dave Grohl broke his leg and couldn't do Glastonbury.

Also Chris Cornell's Nothing Compares is just wonderful

Without a doubt, "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell (original by Gloria Jones).

Eva Cassidy, Somewhere over the Rainbow.
George Michael and Mary J Blige, As
George Michael, Don't let the sun go down on me.

Heartbeats by José Gonzáles. Original by The Knife.

Someone has already said it, but Disturbed - Sound of Silence.

Little Donkey by Ozzie Osborne.

Actually I don't think he has done that song yet, but if he is on Mumsnet (and I'm sure he or Sharon is) then may be it will be issued this Christmas.

That would be nice.

Somewhere only we know - original by Keane (amazing) but I really like Lily Allen's version

Have you heard the Miley Cyrus cover of zombie? It's outstanding

Guns N Roses cover of live and let die.

Patti Smith’s cover of Gloria - the original was Them (Van Morrison) which I also love. Patti’s version has a very different vibe!

Jimmy Eat World covered the Prodigy's Firestarter and turned it into a slow, brooding and very sinister song. I've always liked it when a cover brings a new angle to a song.

This is a classic cover version: The MSPs and Theme from MASH.

Mad world cover that got to number one at Christmas / new year ( Gary Jules ?)

Hurt by Johnny Cash

Olivia Rodrigo: stick season
