The best cover of a song is..............

[houseworkneverends]

They wont go where I go - original Stevie Wonder, covered by George Michael. It's just perfect in every single way.

AIBU or do you think there is a better cover???

And also Deathcab for Cuties cover of Julian Copes "World shut your mouth"

that's a good shout - love that version

Jolene covered by Queen Andreena.

And yes to Jeff Buckleys cover of Hallelujah

@CorvusPurpureus the Sisters' cover of Jolene is indeed epic. But I think their cover of Hot Chocolate's Emma is even better.

Jo Cocker singing A Little Help from my Friends. The live version.

Oh love the Bangles version of Hazy shade of winter !

Another vote for Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. And the video, gets me every time.

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain- Smells Like Teen Spirit 😂

Seconding Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. Amazing and heartbreaking.

Ooh I also forgot John Lennon’s version of Stand By Me

Haha, I loved that in a weird way!

Frankie Millers version is also wonderful ❤️

Thirding Johnny Cash then! x Post with murasaki

Muse "Feeling Good "

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
surfin USA by the Jesus and Mary Chain

Phoebe Bridger's cover of You Missed My Heart is way better than the original.

Reel Big Fish's version of Take On Me!

LC did not have a raspy voice! It was like the musical version of dark chocolate!

I was about to post this one but just scanned through to see if anyone already had! Excellent heartfelt cover, and great video as well! Very sad as well.

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Roxanne - José Feliciano

I was looking up who sang Roxanne and you beat me to Johnny Cash. It brings me to tears when I watch the video on Youtube

I love ‘I won’t back down’ by Johnny Cash. Even Tom Petty said it was great!

Travis were live on Chris Moyles show back in the late 90s/early 90s and they did an acoustic version of ‘Hit me baby one more time’, it was brilliant, they got the giggles!

Israel Kamakwiwo'ole's cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Too good to be forgotten
Amazulu

No Doubt - Its My Life

I think Miley's cover of Jolene is loads better than Beyoncé's

Phil Collins - You can't hurry love

Didn’t realise it was a cover for years.
