I tried and failed to find a previous thread 😅. Aibu to ask for your recommendations for cover songs that are better than the original? One of mines is Miley Cyrus, Just Like A Prayer. It gives me goosebumps, not everyones cup of tea but I love it.

Bob Dylan's original All Along The Watchtower is putrid in comparison with Hendrix's version.

Having been a 90's teenager I was astonished to discover recently that Step On is actually a cover 😲

Since Hendrix recorded his version, Dylan has only played this song as a rock song, so he agrees with you somewhat. I like My Chemical Romance's version of Desolation Row, as used in the film Warchmen.

I love Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares but the cover by Pink (Radio 2 Piano Room?) made me cry! It was beautiful.

MCR also have their own take on Mariah’s All I Want for Christmas Is You which is quite something.

Hozier's cover of Say my Name (Destiny's Child)

ATM I'm loving Alice in Chains with Gretchen Wilson playing Heart's "Barracuda" live at the 2007 MTV Awards. It's also a masterclass for singers in how to use a microphone.

Disturbed 's cover of The Sound Of Silence
What A Wonderful World by The Clash

ALongHardWinter · 02/04/2024 01:06

I think The Stranglers cover of Dionne Warwick's 'Walk on by' is fantastic. Just love that bass! Also Soft Cell's cover of 'Tainted Love'. I really like the original by Gloria Jones,but I think Soft Cell's is even better.

Same here.

Also Tainted Hate Soft Cell version.

Tainted Hate by Soft Cell? Don't you mean Tainted Love?

Party Fears Two, originally by The Associates, but the gorgeous cover by Heaven-17

I love anything by Postmodern Jukebox. They've done vintage covers of almost every song you can think of.

There's a big band version of Seven Nation Army on YouTube featuring Haley Reinhart and it's fantastic.

Lacuna Coil's cover of Enjoy the Silence is epic.
Gun - Word Up
Eva Cassidy - well actually everything she ever did. Her version of Fields of Gold is spine tingly good.

Ooh and Tori Amos did a cracking cover of Enjoy the Silence as well.
