Best Cover Versions


Lateralus

Recommended Posts

I lovee many of Placebo's covers; Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush), Where Is My Mind (the Pixies), 20th Century Boy (T-Rex), Daddy Cool (Boney M)...

 

 

 

The cover from Rufus Wainwright's Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is great too, it's probably also more known than the original song.

 

 

 

Placebo did a cover of where is my mind? :o Hope I can find a version of it to download lol :P

Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Zakk Wylde's cover of Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" is - I daresay - better than the original.

 

 

 

I prefere Rolf Harris' cover.

"Tainted Love" is a song composed by Ed Cobb. It was originally recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones and became a popular song on the Northern Soul scene. It attained worldwide fame after it was covered in 1981 (1982 in the US) by Soft Cell. It has since been covered by numerous other groups.
