One of the best cover versions of songs I've heard is America (Simon and Garfunkel) by Yes. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReWi009IL4
Enjoy.

I heard the Pickets version about a year ago and it wasn't as bad as I remember but I think I was being nostalgic about that era more than it being good Conny.
Haven't seen the vid from TOTP since it was out, but I remember some bald-headed goof going "boh... boh... boh" and I thought to myself anyone could do that. So it stuck in my head as a naff song soz.
Not everyone, or anyone, could match Noddy's voice. I remember a funny TV prog about him. He said he once went to a professional voice coach and so, quite naturally I expect, the coach asked Noddy to display his style. (I'm actually laughing as I recount this).
So Noddy did the opening to Cum on feel the niose and, as only he can, belted out "BABY BABY BAYeeBEEE!!!" (Why's C.u.m banned ffs?)
The coach just said I cant help you and left
(lmao).This is even better, not sure what its covering though....

It started like early Pink Floyd, Sid Barret, stuff and mated with a more demented version of Punk.Sponsored Links
The one which quickly springs to mind is 'Only you' by Alison Moyet which was murdered by The Flying Pickets. (Showing my age a bit).
Still not as good as the Platters though.

Better than the originals imo list
Enjoy the silence -Mike Shinoda remix
Hair of the dog -Guns n Roses version
God Gave Rock And Roll To You - Kiss version
The man who sold the world - Nirvana version
I think a lot of it depends on which version you heard first and your age.

Absolutely. Nazerath are one of my all time favourites from the early 70s. They had prolific great songs many would have forgotten and, sadly, you never hear played anymore. (My white bicycle. This flight tonight. Broken down angel... )
So any copy of theirs, as far as I'm concerned, will be second class.
Ooo! You make me recall one they covered GasBod; an absolute great classic! Love hurts.
Thanks for the direction. I'm gunna listen to that one later...

Also high on my favorits is Light my Fire by The Doors and also Jose Feliciano and a song sung by countless millions, The Star Spangled Banner, but Hendrix version is out of this world..

The Kennedy's are great, seen them twice, but that's a **** live version of a non cover.

Hendrix version of The Star Spangled Banner is as ****y as a lot of his live stuff. I'm a huge Hendrix fan but his live stuff didn't half go on some.
Johnny Cash - Hurt (by Nine Inch Nails) - Cash now "owns" that song.
Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat (by Nick Cave) - Cave still has the best version, sorry Johnny.
Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff - Dizzy (by Tommy Roe)
Toy Dolls - Nellie the Elephant

I prefer Creedence's "Heard it through the grapevine" to Mavin Gaye's, (I know Smokey Robinson did the original)
Heaven by Bryan Adams.....good song...
but DJ Sammy did a brilliant cover.....especially the candlelight mix
And then a couple of guys called the Cut Up Boys, who specialise in running different tunes together, put DJ Sammy's Heaven on top of Kernkraft 400's Zombie Nation, and made something really rather fantastic..
..can't imagine it'll appeal to all tastes here though
