This is a cover of a song by The Band. Frankly, it's better than the original, IMHO. Hear for yourself:


The original:


Amen.

This is actually a cover by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The original is by JJ Cale.

Metallica covering an Ozzy era Black Sabbath classic.

HIM was a gothic rock band from Finland. I really like their cover of this great Chris Isaak number: 


Amen.

Rodrigo y Gabriela are originally from Mexico City. They've been performing since 2000. Their cover of the old Zeppelin classic is mesmerizing: 


Amen.

Damn, that is a good version.

Who could ever forget this rock Classic by The Troggs?


I'd venture to say, though, that most people don't know it's a cover. This is the original recording by Jordan Christopher & The Wild Ones:


Oh, but there's more. The song was written by Chip Taylor, the younger brother of Actor Jon Voight who, as you probably do know, is the father of actress Angelina Jolie.

Amen.

Not trying to derail the thread, but this, I think, is the worst cover ever.



Robert Smith should get shot for that.

No derail at all, amigo. I didn't even know the cover existed. I did listen to it. I can't honestly say I hate it, but it's gone so far astray from what it's supposedly covering, it seems rather pointless as a cover.

But, what the hell do I know?

Amen.

This is a good live cover of Tesla doing a song by Five Man Electrical Band.

I love Alison Krauss's voice. This is her exquisite cover of an outstanding song by Irishman Ronan Keating:


No surprise that there are other covers, but this is Keating's original:


Amen.

I like Allison Kraus too.

Commander Cody & His List Planet Airmen was formed in Michigan in 1967. Although they had only one hit, they were some pickin', jammin' fools.  This is their hit cover of the Charlie Ryan classic:


This is the original:


Amen.

This is a cover of a song J E B Stuart posted in another thread.
