Simple topic - post your fav song covers here :)

I love a good song cover, especially when it's either by someone you wouldn't expect, a genre-altering cover that still works well, or someone you're not exactly a fan of doing a cover of a song you like, giving you more appreciation of the person covering it.

I'l kick off with an easy one for me since I love Ed and The Beatles so this was bound to be one I'd love :P

Just amazing and sad at the same time.

edit: It is a Nine Inch Nails song.

OH don't even get me started!  About a fifth of the songs on my phone are covers.  This is the one I rock on long running tattoos though...

I LOVE the Johnny Cash cover so much, it's been on my phone for years now :')

Never heard the Mer song though but it's so good! I'm gonna be overplaying that for sure haha.

When it comes to covers, these guys can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. It's all acapella but so spot on with the originals it's unreal

That bass drop at 1:06 though.................

Oh yeah, I like Pentatonix.

I also like Boyce Avenue (https://www.youtube.com/user/boyceavenue/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=p)

You're gonna talk Pentatonix and bass drops, and not post this one?

1:09 ish and also 2:07 or so...

Holy sh-

I haven't listened to anything newer than their Beyonce compilation til you posted that..... I'm back in love with them now haha

Just a couple of recent ones:

Not sure who the original version of this song was by, but I know this version, and the Michael Buble version (which I have attempted at karaoke once, but it wasn't that great as I'm more familiar with the Muse version).

Also, another great cover by Muse:

I like House of the Rising Son, too, and pretty much any cover they've done.

When I saw them in concert, they played the intro to House of the Rising Sun, and let the crowd sing the first verse before they went into their finale (Knights of Cedonia, I believe.)

Yeah they do some pretty cool jams, I got Bulls on Parade once.

This is my fav Feeling Good cover :)

Paramore's cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon is one of my favourites. I am a bit biased as I love Paramore, but it annoys me that other people covered it on Radio 1's live lounge and it was put on CD but their version never has been put on a compilation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNUVZ0yapuo

I prefer her version over the original.  But then again Kings of Leons singer's voice sounds like a blender full of kittens when it gets in my ears.

As I said earlier covers are like.... my equivalent of a dude who wears chicks panties.  Sure he may still be dressing crossed - but at least he's covering it up with something manly lol.  "Punk goes Pop" is a great series of albums I have... different metal, rock, ska and punk groups cover Pop Songs and it makes them tolerable to people like me.  I am sure I will be going to that well before long...

For now, I ask you.... Does This Count as a Cover?  Its a whole new group doing a song about 20 years later than the original release... new style of music, new band playing.... but the guy who wrote it (Turbo B from "Snap!") Is in fact in the song.  So is this a cover or a remix?  Judge for yourself.....

I <3 Paramore

Yea Dave, Muse didn't play any Rage songs, but that was probably because Rage was the closing act at the show I was at.

I'm on mobile now, but remind me to post Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion later.

I'm surprised nobody's posted that yet actually :P

My babies Mike and Chester <3 <3

As promised.  For the record, Phil Collins is on this version of the song (though I'm pretty sure he's just playing guitar and maybe some back-up vocals).  Until Disturbed released this official video, the "official video" you could find was the old Genesis video with Phil Collins singing, just synched up to the Disturbed version of the song.

Also, since Yolandi brought them up, there's also this:

Vance Joy also does a pretty good cover of Rolling in the Deep.

Nov 3rd. Then it's off to the russian friends.

Always loved the Radiohead cover of Nobody Does It Better. Another one I would love an official release of.

Is this considered a cover?  If so, how hasn't anyone posted it yet?
