Didn't know this one. It's good.

The best Sabbath cover I have ever heard. But I'd love to hear more cowbell.

^The original is still better, but this one is quite interesting.

[METALPRIEST]

[TheSound]

I'm not especially into rave/trance/electronic stuff, though I do like Orbital, the Chemical Brothers, and especially Massive Attack.

One of the best covers I ever heard is by a phenomenally gifted young singer/song writer from the south coast of England, I have even met her a couple of times, she calls herself ReoRae, and I always loved her cover version of Massive Attack's song 'Teardrop', so here's the original... and then her cover version, what an amazing voice she has, she doesn't even have a recording contract, which beggars belief when you hear some of the garbage you do these days...

 

[Antiderivative]
