OT: Cover songs that are better than the original

Oh lord forgive what I am about to do......

 

Whiskey in the jar...Metallica, much better than the original ****e.

 

Like DD I have no adequate response to describe my feelings.

PS, Mods can Indie be barred for a period of time.

 

Agree Comm, Metallica's best version of all the covers of this song

 

A man of taste.....

Even though the ****e by Thin Lizzy was a cover.


So a cover of a cover of a cover.etc.

 

Thin Lizzies version of Rosalie big improvement on Bob Seger.
The Byrds Mr Tambourine Man (going back a bit) still, anythings better than Dylan whining.

 

Hendrix. All along the Watchtower was voted the best ever cover , I forget which magazine did the poll, might have been Rolling Stone, I agree wholeheartedly with the poll result.

 

Best band for covers has to be UB40.

Red Red Wine

Many Rivers to Cross

I Got You Babe

and, of course........

I Can't Help Falling in love With You

 

We can look into it, or send him for councilling

 

Another Siouxie Sue,

Dear Prudence.

This has to be a winner because its a cover of the BEATLES

x

 

Your right GC. banning maybe a tad harsh. Councilling or sin binning should do.

GC, Sitting on the dock of the bay by "Playing for change" is brilliant. As are most of their covers. Grandpa Elliot is superb on them.

If you want a laff hunt out the parody of the titanic "My heart must go on" by the Leningrad Cowboys. They also do a fab version of Delilah, Stairway to Heaven etc. Funny band but bloody good when they have to be.

 

jealous guy and hard rains a gonna fall.........................bryan ferry

 

Sacrilege you heathen.

 

Jealous guy in all it's forms is just a magnificent song but Lennon's bums Ferry's.
