[Music] Great Covers

[ElJuski]

I'll kick it off with probably one of my absolute favorites, from last year's Undercover:



fucking ridiculously good.

Now your turn and go

 

[General Specific]

So good, people forget it's a cover of a Bob Dylan song

 

[Covar]

Obligatory.

I won't pretend and say I have any kind of taste in music, but back when Tarja Turunen was still in the band, this song rocked my socks off...

You know, you listen to the original NIN version of the song and you feel like maybe that Reznor guy knows what pain really feels like. Then you listen to Johnny Cash's version and you can't help but think, "The fuck you know about pain Trent?"

Nightwish is still awesome. Or was in 2008. I haven't listened to the one they released this year.

Great cover, and the video's amazing.

[ElJuski]

So many disagrees. The original beats the shit out of this version. Sorry

 

[Vagabond]

 

[ElJuski]

I'm also torn with the Gnarls Barkley cover. Good, fun, but still no Violent Femmes (<3)

 

[SeraRelm]

also

and

and

lastly

I don't think a cover has to be better than the original to still be good. Otherwise no one would be cover Hallelujah.

 

[ElJuski]

Well, duh. I'm saying that that version, in my opinion, is bad. A good cover, like any good adaptation, should both pay respects while creating a unique spin on that source. Sometimes covers happen that are just inessential or bad.

 

[HCGLNS]

Total guilty pleasure

Does this count?
