I prefer the original of that song though :)




Coldplay-Lips Like Sugar, great song, brilliantly covered :)

[CityandColour]

Another I forgot: Millworker- Vertical Horizon (James Taylor)

[CityandColour]

Also, I'm sorry but I hate the Foo Fighter's cover of Stairway To Heaven. Pretty funny though considering Dave Grohl keep's forgetting the words.

[badlydrawngirl]

I've never heard that before. I don't think I want to listen to it if it's not v good. I love Dave Grohl too much :D


Can't take my eyes off you -Manic Street Preachers - it shows the nice, caring side of the manics :o :lol:

Handbags and Gladrags by the Stereophonics (Rod Steward)

Feeling Good by Muse.

[Majson]

the coldplay and raidohead bond cover songs ruin the songs.

Maybe i'm biased cos i'ma huge bond fan, and the covers just make me cringe when i hear them

[Professor Peedston]

"Nobody Does it Better" by Radiohead (originally Carly Simon)
"Sloop John B" by the Beach Boys (originally a traditional folk song or something)
"She Don't Use Jelly" by Ben Folds Five (originally the Flaming Lips)
"Cortez the Killer" by Built to Spill (originally by Neil Young)
"All is Full of Love" by Death Cab For Cutie (originally by Bjork)

i know there HAS to be better ones out there but i can't think of any right now.

[MrsBerry]

Killer Queen - Travis (original by Queen)

[Danilo]

GN'R - Sympathy For The Devil (Rolling Stones)

gn'r rulez :devilish:

GN'R made many version cover. Bob Dylan, Elton John... They have a album only of punk cover. "The spaghetti Incident?"

[CityandColour]

...And that's something to brag about?

[MrsBerry]

Marilyn Manson made a cover of Tainted Love, originally by Soft Cell. I like Manson, but the original is better.

[Professor Peedston]

i thought of one so fantastic i had to run upstairs so i could put it on here before i forgot about it:

any version of "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane (originally Rodgers and Hammerstein)

[fifi]

gary jules-mad world
coldplay-lips like sugar

:)

Never heard this one... It´s one of my faves of Fleetwood Mac

[Professor Peedston]

oasis-you've got to hide your love away
:)

oh man. this one makes me want to vomit with rage.

eddie vedder actually did a decent version of this song, though. ;)

speaking of beatles covers...

Grandaddy: "Revolution"
Gomez: "Getting Better"

all the rest of the beatles covers i've heard were either really bad or so similar to the original that they're not even worth mentioning...

i'm in full on "music snob" mode right now, if you hadn't picked that up. :P

[MrsBerry]

Beatles covers ?

Stereophonics - Don´t let me down ! AWESOME !

[Majson]

aaah cortez the killer...prefer the dave matthews cover from the contral park concert

[Nikola]

I've learned yesterday that Ghetto Gospel is partially a cover of this Stevie's song. :shame:

Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise - YouTube

I've gotta listen to this album.

George Michael and Mary J. Blige did a pretty good cover of As, also from this album.
