Your favorite covers

[archey]

Title says it all. Sometimes a cover can be as good if not better than the original. Sometimes it can take on a totally different feel. I'll start it out with one of my personal favorites.

Bob Schneider - Running On Empty:

 

[StratoCraig]

And this one absolutely must not be missed if you haven't heard it before: Harry Nilsson covers 20 Beatles songs in two minutes and 22 seconds.

Feeling Beatley...

Interesting...

 

[AC4RD]

New York Dolls: covers of "Don't you start me talking" and "Bad detective," both on their second album. Monster covers! David Bromberg's cover of "Dyin' crapshooter blues"--he made it scan more or less right, which Blind Willie McTell (bless his memory) never did. Johnny Thunders (bless his memory)'s "Pipeline."

 

[Bluesful]

Has to be All Along The Watchtower.

I've heard covers of "Battle of Evermore" by both...

Doesn't get much better than Ann & Nancy + whoever else in a 900 seat club.


I always liked this Jimi tune...
