[EricND]

Ace Frehely's New York Groove is a cover that he made his own.

I love how Weird Al has kept it going all this time.

 

[cycophagus]

One of the greatest covers in R&R history, Ike and Tina Turner's Grammy winning rendition or John Fogarty's CCR hit, Proud Mary:

I live threads like this until someone starts posting songs you didn’t know, followed by the cover from a band you didn’t know, just to put hipster everyone else.

Metallica Stone cold crazy
Limp Bizkit Faith basically ushered in nu metal. Even though I’m not a big bizkit fan they killed that song
Sublime bridges of babylon
Weezer has a bunch.
Take on me by Aha
Africa by Toto
rosanna by toto

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

Nothing compares 2 u by Sinead too before she went bat ****.

Is this them covering a Garth Brooks song or vice versa?

 

[RoseClone]

Everything Eva Cassidy did was a cover. They are all chilling to listen to.

Sting - Fields of Gold


Cyndi Lauper - True Colors


Judy Garland - Over the Rainbow


John Prine didn't do many covers but this one of Blaze Foley's Clay Pigeons is top shelf

Intrigued to learn how you know this. It might be the first barbershop quartet reference I've seen here. VS is ridiculous.

Check out Alex Melton on YouTube. Fantastic, well produced covers crossing genres

Same as Boyce Avenue.

It is definitely the result of many years and thousands of hours of listening!

 

[madguy30]

I've gotten on a track of finding random covers over the past year of people that I've either never heard of, or are random people just in their living room. Some very interesting stuff out there.

Vice versa, the ORB recorded it before Garth did. The Oaks record it in 1978, Garth did in 1993. Both versions are pretty good, I like the bass lines on the original version but Garth gave it a little faster tempo and more modern sound to it.
