Favorite/Best Cover Songs

Most of you probably dont know the original, but the Stereophonics also did a pretty solid cover of an awesome Tragically Hip song

‪Stereophonics - Fiddler's Green‬‏ - YouTube

I don't listen to these guys at all anymore and you guys probably don't know the band that did the original, but I used to love this cover

The man who sold the world - Lulu, far and away the best cover of this song, imo,
award for the worst ever cover must also go to a Bowie song, oasis' cover of Heroes, the gallagher chimps should have been shot for inflicting that on people, absolutely dreadful, granted a very hard song for anyone else to do justice to, but Blondie did a good version, with the help of Robert Fripp, admittedly, and, SHOCK, HORROR, I heard a cover by Bon Jovi which is actually not bad at all!

Agreed wholeheartedly. Brilliant.

This is not the best performance of the song by TATE but it's all I got right now. I DVR'd a performance that they did that aired on Directv's The 101 and that performance of this song is smokin. If anyone can help me with possibly ripping the audio from the show on our home DVR then that'd be sweet. Then I could share it as well as listen to it whenever. Anyway I've thought their cover of "Goodbye Horses" is better than the original.

I had no idea they'd even covered that. Awesome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck, I had no clue that Bob Downey was that good of a singer. I figured he could probably carry a tune but, shit. What a badass.
