I like Bowie's Let's Spend the Night Together though. Santana's she's not there is decent. You're right it's pointless. But not as dreadful as God Only Knows. One of the best songs ever, covered by one of the best artists ever. What could go wrong? Everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyJoe Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not many votes for Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah! I'm guessing Madonna's American Pie won't be on this list either! Sincere apologies for reminding people of the above 'songs' I'll get me coat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I remember seeing a band at Glastonbury (I was watching on tele) Do a cover of Frankley Knuckles -Your Love. No idea who it was but I really enjoyed it. Anyone know who it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, totally hate that cover that makes silence by far a preferable alternative to ever hearing it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneeye Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I only recently discovered this Elton John cover; RIP Billy Paul (me and Mrs Jones fame) who passed a week ago. Thought this deserved a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Eddie Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not necessarily the best, but amazing and very underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millcroft Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Seven Seconds - 99 Red Balloons Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was Both been favourites for years....I'm now feeling old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I do love a good cover version! I note that following the sad passing of Prince a LOT of his stuff is creeping onto You Tube (perhaps his lawyers are busy with other stuff) but have a gander at this Prince nails "Red House" (but not before repainting it). If you're going to cover Hendrix you better be a bit good. Oh and catch the sax from Maceo Parker. Genius. I do like a Beatles cover as well Calexico "Strawberry Fields Forever" Phil Manzanera 801 "Tomorrow Never Knows" Also at Glastonbury 2014 saw Thea Gilmore cover "All You Need Is Love" to tear inducing effect (for me anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man said it brought him to tears on Jan 10th, I can see why. Station to station has since become my go-to Bowie album, absolute masterclass. Yeah to me Station to Station is Bowie's best album never gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I went to see Chris Cornell last night and he did fantastic covers of: A Day in the Life - The Beatles Nothing Compares 2 U - Prince One - U2 (with lyrics from One by Metallica) Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Imagine - John Lennon He even did a cover of the Johnny Cash cover of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. All impeccable. Sadly he's back in the US over Glastonbury weekend. Shame, he would have made an amazing acoustic stage headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
