Fantomas did a brilliant album of their version of various movie soundtracks.
Mike Patton, King Buzzo, and Dave Lombardo...how can it not kick ass?

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower (Official Audio)

Thought this was a Dylan Cover...

Yuya Uchida & The Flowers - Hey Joe



Original

So many bands who do cover versions, just do an almost exact copy. My thoughts are, if you are going to do a cover, then please, put your own stamp on it......(I think i've embedded the youtube videos correctly, if not a quick youtube search will bring results)

These are my top three. All great bands in their own right, if you haven't heard/listened to them, go and seek. You won't be disappointed.

1. 1966 ... Question Mark & The Mysterians - 96 Tears

Primal Scream 1997, B-side to Kowalski

2. 1982 ... Berlin - Metro

System Of A Down, Dracula 2000 soundtrack

3. 1967 ... The Doors - Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)

Viza 2012


VIZA ROCK!

Prefer it over Grace ... Grace is still a classic though!

I usually am not into covers, but there are exceptions

cover

original

I do like the purity of some bluegrass music.
Some styles literally grate on my nerves. I think it's a nasal singing style.
Others are just amazing. The second version is one of my favorites.

oh mr. spaced out

Here's a cover for ya, 'bout the house rent blues (27th GSR )

KiCi from Jodeci singing Bobby Womack's "If You Think You're Lonely Now". Murdered it.

This one is fun and one of my favorites; pretty much unknown, I have the original 1931 record:

Ted Lewis: Egyptian Ella 1931:

Tuba Skinny: Egyptian Ella 4/12/13:

This is an old tune, but some great artists have done covers including the great cover queen Joss Stone.

The original .. Dusty Springfield.. Son of a Preacher Man



Both these women do a great cover of this tune.
