    I use that "Dreams I'll Never See" cover to help audition new audio equipment.  It has tons of clarity and just sounds fantastic. CSB:  I was editor of our HS newspaper my junior and senior years

    Heh . . . Miles Davis, playing just a bit sharp.  That never happens.  Man, he had taste, though. This isn't a cover, but I don't care, if you have the time, rewind to the beginning of the clip t

I generally do not like covers, but there are a few that make the grade.

Van Halen's cover of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman

Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nail's Hurt

Almost every song on the Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black.

Not better than the original but a worthy effort.  

 

Better than most...

Adding a touch of class to the thread...

i love BW Stevensons version as well but these guys just kill it...and all those artists in that audience know deep down these guys are better than they are...

Just heard this on the radio. Maybe not a cover since he played with the original band, but awesome nonetheless.

 

 

NIN covers "Cars"     Numan on vocals.  Reznor rocking the tambourine

Al Jourgensen and a possibly highly medicated Eddie Vedder do Dylan's Lay Lady Lay.   Maybe just being around Ministry in such a weird setting has that effect.  

 

 

RIP.  I don't know if the song is better than the original, but her vocals are very persuasive.

Loved Led Zeppelin and Tool growing up, so I've always really loved Tool's cover of No Quarter.

Gospel covers are a dime a dozen but this has been a fav since I first heard it

Well, the title says "good AND bad", so I'll throw this one out, since it popped up when I was searching for a live Peter Gabriel video I've seen several times.  I'll admit it, I can't stand Postmodern Jukebox, but they topped themselves here.  It's so unbelievably out of touch, apparently oblivious to what the song is about (which is "fucking") . . . I'm just totally dumbstruck that someone never stepped in and said "yeah, you kids aren't getting it".  It's not a damn sockhop you chodes.  Listen at your own peril.

 

 

For reference, here's Peter Gabriel and band knocking it out of the park, at an appropriate tempo, with a bass player who defines groove as opposed to some twat who thinks he's in the pocket but wouldn't recognize a pocket if you spotted him a free pair of pants, plus a drummer who knows what a backbeat is, not to mention a singer (duh) who isn't an inept, soulless piece of shite:

 

Wait...  Sledgehammer is about fucking?  

 

 

TMYK. 

Man.  I really, really, REALLY dig Brandi Carlile.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but since it's a cover, I'll put it here.

It's also really good and really bad.

Kravitz is unbelievably stiff -- there is zero soul in his vocals until after the final break.  He sounds like a guy trying out for the high school choir.

BUT, the band is smokin'.  Craig Ross, Kenny Aronoff, who could ask for more?  Brilliant.  They get the tune.  Both of them angle a little more towards the straight up on-top-of-the-beat approach that every bar band not featuring John Bonham and Jimmy Page must cultivate, because . . . those guys just did things different.  That said, it's tight as hell and really powerful stuff.

Plus, Obama and YoYo Ma.  So suck on that, CR.
