May 26, 20179 yr And if you've never heard of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, I recommend checking them out. They were a fun party staple of my college years and were one of the first genre mash bands. My favorite is their strangely compelling version of Mandy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWKMZk_mNKo And this, because Carly Simon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkaBfp1tbck
May 26, 20179 yr I think the Hurt cover is probably #1. Alice in Chains and Gretchen Wilson covering Barracuda a few years back was fun to watch. Not unique but I liked it better than the original.
May 26, 20179 yr And two songs that were covered so well that most people don't even know they're covers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htobTBlCvUU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF68OyTlP4EIt's been twenty years since i seen that Bjork video. She is a tremendous song writer and forward thinker.
May 26, 20179 yr It's been twenty years since i seen that Bjork video. She is a tremendous song writer and forward thinker.The video was directed by Spike Jonez, which is why it's so good. And the Fiona Apple Across the Universe was directed by PT Anderson, which also explains why it's so good.
May 26, 20179 yr And while I'll never forgive the Dixie Chicks for that abomination of a Landslide cover, their big hit was also a cover and they killed it more than a little bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw7gNf_9njs

May 26, 20179 yr Author Because no one else has posted them, I'll go ahead and post what are widely regarded to be two of the greatest covers of all time. It's really ****ing hard to upstage Bowie but Cobain managed to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fregObNcHC8 And of course, Hurt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pcThese aren't my personal favorites but they're amazing.
May 26, 20179 yr My favourite cover song of all time, from my favourite cover album of all time. Her version of Helpless from this same album is a close second. OK. One more thing from Canada I like.
May 26, 20179 yr The video was directed by Spike Jonez, which is why it's so good. And the Fiona Apple Across the Universe was directed by PT Anderson, which also explains why it's so good.That makes sense Brock, Thank you sir.

May 26, 20179 yr Let's be honest, this is the greatest cover ever... Not sure why it did that link..... https://g.co/kgs/8INzue Edited May 26, 20179 yr by Mike Sixel
May 27, 20179 yr Give this one a listen. Most appropriate that it's the cello ... the 'most human' and the most 'God-like' of all the instruments ... playing that one.
May 27, 20179 yr I'm a fan of covers of some of my favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZxmZmBfnU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxjE6V8OMfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBsAmx_bl_o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5njG95T2wy8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc2rTt74Qys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-hmypa3wuA
May 27, 20179 yr And one rainbow song followed by another ... I think this rendition is my favorite of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99MWtKCTLnM
May 27, 20179 yr Let's be honest, this is the greatest cover ever... Not sure why it did that link.....https://g.co/kgs/8INzueIt's really hard to argue that point.

May 30, 20179 yr I prefer this one. One of my all time favorites, actually. https://youtu.be/gOZKz_sPM6UOoh, well done, sir. The humorous aspect of this post is that literally RIGHT NOW I'm listening to an Arlo Guthrie and friends tribute vinyl album to Leadbelly.
May 30, 20179 yr Ooh, well done, sir. The humorous aspect of this post is that literally RIGHT NOW I'm listening to an Arlo Guthrie and friends tribute vinyl album to Leadbelly. Thank you. I can't figure out how to embed...
May 30, 20179 yr Thank you. I can't figure out how to embed... It's this, removing the quotation marks: "["media"]"Your YouTube link"["/media"]"
May 30, 20179 yr Friday Night Lights was always great for covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpQxNDOowhI
May 30, 20179 yr With that said, Mike Patton is the king of covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg0Rw3Pt2z8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqxbVE_hbI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-rvKIUa0Ks
May 30, 20179 yr I have a hard time deciding which of these I like better but Bonnie Raitt's effortless singing usually wins out. Tedeschi and Trucks together though, something else.
June 4, 20179 yr I love Sugarland's cover of Brook and Dunn's 'Red Dirt Road'. In fact, I like it more than the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqX0UqsOO_Q
