Great cover songs

[Isualum13]

I'm sure there is an "On That Note" thread on great cover songs but I couldn't find it to add these to the list.



I was recommended their cover of Thunder Rolls a few weeks ago on the YouTube, then when I saw they were dropping this shortly after, I got excited. Here is Thunder Rolls.

 

[Gonzo]

Scottish band Travis covering Joni Mitchell's 'River'...

 

[Gonzo]

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails 'Hurt'...

Mostly because I would have bet my life that this would never have happened...ever! It was even mentioned in the news update in the morning while I was driving to work! Lots going for it...shock factor AND Tom Morello! The E Streeters cover "Staying Alive"! I think it was a tribute to the Gibb brothers as they were born in this region of Australia:

And now that the Bee Gees are in my head...Grohl covering the Bee Gees is spectacular!!!

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails 'Hurt'...

Can it still be a great cover if the original is so much better than the cover? (Johnny Cash never connected with me)

Love Roller Coaster ~ RHCP
Heroes ~ Peter Gabriel
Cars ~ Fear Factory
Smooth Criminal ~ Alien Ant Farm

My wife never knew one of the Gibbs wrote Grease until it was like a history explanation of the song once on XM.

Everyone knows how genius Prince was but I LOVE Chaka Khans version of I Feel For You.

This makes me feel bad for you.

Not sure that counts. Traditional folk song.
