[Goclones1727]

One of my favorite Jimmy Buffett covers. RIP.

Because it wasn’t better than the original

I did on about the fourth post

All the Beatles stuff that Joe Cocker remade was pretty damn good especially 'She Came in Through the Bathroom Window'

How about some love for the RHCP cover of Stevie Wonder’s Higher Ground.

One of my favorites and slipped my mind. It’s before they just wrote songs about California

Tool - No Quarter (Salival) [Led Zeppelin Cover]


Faith No More - Easy


Clutch - Fortunate Son

Tool’s version of No Quarter is an amazing track. I have the original and the cover back to back on one of my main Spotify playlists.

 

[Althetuna]

Metallica: Last Caress/Green Hell

I did on about the fourth post

I stand behind my statement

Not sure if this counts as I don't think Cornell ever released this as a single, but his version of Nothing Compares to You is amazing.

It absolutely counts.

Nirvana cranked out some incredible covers. Their first release "Love Buzz" was an insane remake of the original which is pretty good in it's own right.

Clones 27-9

That's weird..a Shocking Blue cover mentioned in back to back posts. The original was better. Mariska had a pretty good voice. Reminded me a lot of Grace Slick.

Jimi Hendrix cover of All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan. A lot of people don't even know its a cover.

Bob Dylan changed the way he played that song because he said Jimi did it better.

So maybe I missed it, but has anyone mentioned Luke Combs cover of Tracy Chapmans Fast Car? I'm sure there are some strong opinions about it but it's going to be one of the more popular songs of the year.

A few references in the thread to Nirvana-Meat Puppets cover/collaboration … I do like those, and it's cool Cobain embracing his influences.

shows here’s a non-Nirvana cover of Meat Puppets, a track from the same LP as “Lake of Fire,” “Oh Me” and “Plateau.”

Including the original, for reference. One of the top cuts on MPII, Minutemen did a kick-*** alternate.
