Covers vs. originals

[Flower]

SSV, have to go with CCR's version of Heard it though the Grapevine.

We all know the song "Running up that Hill" but I was wondering what your opinion is about these covers:

Patrick Wolf


Placebo


Dutch band Within Temptation

 

[Soot and Stars]

Both Fisher and Kelly Sweet do admirable versions of "Dream On."

Craig-Fisher is a great artist and I'm glad that covering Dream On has got her more listeners! She does a great job! On the other hand I've never heard of Kelly Sweet and her version was great as well! Two very different takes on a great song!

Only an artist Glen Hansard could give a Britney Spears song meaning and depth!

Britney Spears-Everytime


Glen Hansard-Everytime

Carl Perkins ~ Original



Elvis ~ Cover



Beatles ~ Really bad cover

Beatles ~ Really bad cover



That Beatles version Rocks - thanks for sharing it!

Another great cover of a song which Elvis made popular (not sure if he sang the original or not), is "Don't Be Cruel" from the Dillard & Clark Expedition, unfortunately I cannot find a video for it!

Roy Buchanan ~ Peter Gunn

 

[Aktivator]

Jeff buckley-Hallelujah
Fiona Apple-Across the universe
Grateful Dead-Morning Dew
ELO-Roll Over Beethoven

Yellow Matter Custard (Beatles Tribute band) - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Solo in this shits all over Clapton's sorry )


Pearl Jam - Rockin In The Free World (I love Neil Young and his version this is close if not equal)


Nirvana - Turn Around (I love this version over Devo's)

Jeff Healey - While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Always loved his version.
