O/T On the heels of your fave instrumental / Your fave version of a classic song

[frogmiller]

But this is probably my favourite cover



A different slant on a classic song. Very powerful

(imbed video didn't woprk on previous post for the Adam Levine video. Link should work though)

WOW!!!!

One of my favourite songs. It's hard to beat an original but bloody hell!!!

I first heard it in the Cutlers. Somebody put it on the jukebox. Being a Paul Simon fan I first thought "who's ruining this song?" but after a few lines - as you say WOW!
Paul Simon saw it on "Conan" and was blown away.

Yep, Once you get into it is great.

It's surprising how few of the Simon and Garfunkle songs are covered.

Here's the origonal. Actually Simon sounds out of tune where as my favourite is bang on

Have to admit I skipped passed this at first but after reading what frog posted about it I thought I would give it a listen and thank god I did. My whole body just covered with bumps. Choooooooooooooooooon. This is now my fave version of this great song.

That reminds me frog, they did an album almost entirely of covers back in 2004.
Some really interesting versions on there.

Still listen to it regularly.

Johnny Cash did a few covers of contemporary songs on his last few albums
Personal Jesus, Hurts and One, all of which I really liked

But my all time favourite is something I never realised was a cover until a few years ago which is The Animals version of House of the Rising Sun.
Turns out there's absolutely loads of versions of that.

Original version of the song.

I have a great version of 'House.......... by Frijid Pink. Well worth a listen. But my favourite has to be, Delilah by Alex Harvey band.

Sinead O'Connors Nothing compares to you, I think is better than the original
