Between the covers

[mockney piers]

That's wrong on a whole series of levels, not to mention brought back baaaad memories.

Here's a nice one, The Book with Jose Gonsalez doing Nick Drake's Cello Song.

A few will know it from the Dark Was The Night chariddy compilation.

Anyone remember Age Of Chance's shouty/metallic version of Prince's Kiss?

It was well hard as we used to say. It was the fashion at the time.

I always liked Ryan Adams's cover of Wonderwall. Also a fan of Florence and her Machine's cover of 'You Got The Love'.

[iaineasy]

talking about jose gonzalez what about his cover of the knifes song heart beats

heres the link

I prefer the original but sometimes joses silky chill version is just right

Old thread to the fore shocker!

One fo the greatest pop songs of all time given a decent reworking. Coming to a John Lewis Xmas ad near you soon.

Wind beneath my wings. I will survive. Fame, Its raining men. Your so vain, All the Beadles sons, done to death. One thing that kills a good party, All the X Factor type songs,when is it over !

The Manic's version of Umbrella was excellent, but I love this version:

 

[Loz]

Also I like John Farnham's version of 'Help', which Katie Weasel murdered on the X Factor on Saturday.

I think I'm gonna cop some flak for this choice!

 

[Ridgley]

The days of pearly Spencer - new version by Marc Almond love it!

[Emerson Crane]

Califonia Dreaming by Bobby Womack.

[Jah Lush]

I love this cover of a Tom Waits song.

Edited because there was no audio on the first one.

You don't have to be Prince if you want to dance

You just have to get down with Age of Chance..

The Sisters Of Mercy weren't shy of a good cover version, top examples include Hot Chocolate's Emma

and Gimme Shelter from The Stones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mgmXng5rto.

[Emerson Crane]

Edwin Starr - California Soul

Bobby Womack - All along the Watchtower

Ray Charles - Sidewinder

Jimi Hendrix - The Star Spangled Banner

Average White Band - Work to do

[wee quinnie]

I love this: (AC/DC covering Baby Please Don't Go).

[Otta]

A cover.

[Salsaboy]

Ah, a bit of self promotion.

[Otta]

No one else was gonna give a shit ;-)

[Salsaboy]

Not a bad version actually. Video work is a bit off putting though.

[Otta]

Haha, what do you mean, it's yp there with November Rain for production.

[Jeremy]

A gritty, no-holds-barred portrayal of the band's inner soul.

[El Pibe]

Nothing wrong with some good honest pop!!

[Otta]

Covers baby!

[ultraburner]

Murdered, baby!

Jonny Cash "hurt" is a million times better than the original.

[Otta]

The video is what has given it extra emotion that isn't really theree in my opinion. It is bvetter than the original recording, which is pretty shit. I like it best when Trent Reznor does it on piano.
