Pamela Brown



Tom T. Hall



Leo Kottke

 

[Jarlaxle]

Better than Freida Payne's original............

[TheGreatGatsby]

Nah. That DM song sounds like nothing done before and nothing done since. And one can't beat Dave Gahan's voice.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Give credit to Outkast for making a good song to build upon. But this Blanks cover is sublime and much better:

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Sweet Jane ~ Velvet Underground



Sweet Jane ~ Cowboy Junkies

Definitely one of the 'much better' covers you'll find.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

I hate it when people cover songs that haven't been out that long. Also, they could've just taken the energy of this cover and put it to something original. Also, her voice doesn't fit the ferociousness of the song.

Sweet Jane ~ Velvet Underground



Sweet Jane ~ Cowboy Junkies

Definitely one of the 'much better' covers you'll find.

I would have to say that one of my favorite cover songs is Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana covering David Bowie. I think I posted it a few pages back.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Probably the best DM cover out there. Leave it to Johnny.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Hmmm. I can't decide which of these is better. Both are VERY good, IMO.

This is the only place I go when looking for a Jefferson Airplane cover:

Lol! That's a great cover song! What showmanship!
