I tend to like covers that bring something VERY DIFFERENT to a song (like the Devo one) and this one:

Country Roads ... west Jamaica!



John Denver's version was lame. Lamer than lame.

 

[Peteaud]

and this one:

To be fair i dont mind that, but nothing can ever touch the Elvis version.

Great cover of a Michael Jackson song

Cover of a song by Nine Inch Nails

I've never quite got the fuss about this. It's a song to which lots of poeple go 'ooh, great', but to me it just doesn't go with Johnny Cash at all. I love most of the stuff from those late American sessions towards the end of his life, but strangely, for me, this one grates. So much so that I actually get a bit angry when people go 'ooh', and then when you ask them if they've heard other songs from those sessions/albums they look at you as if they don't want you to ask them difficult questions, and they didn't really want to talk about JC per se, they just wanted to express a like for a song they've heard other people go 'ooh' over, and so they think they ought to go 'ooh' too, but they haven't done their homework, and don't actually really like JC, and probably prefer to watch the X Factor and eat burgers and die early of not thinking about their music properly.
That's what I think, anyway. But if you genuinely like it, then so be it. I'm happy for you.

A brilliant cover of a brilliant original.

The original version was played on Radio 2 earlier today. This is just so much better

Nice video too

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Finally, what I think is possibly the best cover ever - Little Boots out Bushing Kate Bush with Running Up That Hill. Turn them up load, shut your eyes and sing along.

Tell me you're not serious...

Can't stand U2 but this is great and, as Fnaar says, a completely different take on it

Humble Pie's version of Ray Charle's 1966 original .
