There's not a single Dylan song that someone else didn't perform better than him.
Jimi Version - ( New Window )
can't agree on that, forever young is his alone.
Yeah, there are ton of Dylan songs that would simply not be the same without his unique delivery. I can't imagine someone turning in a version of Simple Twist of Fate or Visions of Johanna that I'd prefer to his.
Just another cover, of a Great song (there are quite a few), but it's my favorite. The group's name is Playing For Change | Song Around The World . There are many international artists. Interesting project and story . Playing For Change - ( New Window )
RE: RE: Green Manalishi - Judas Priest, the live version. Â
Didn't you start a thread on the same topic like 5 months ago? I'm positive that I commented on a similar thread this past off-season. I tried to remember to keep commenting on the thread to keep it active so it wasn't deleted due to inactivity.
we're the only non-jam band to have ever recorded a cover that's more than twice as long as the original! Iceberg by Trashcan Sinatras - ( New Window )
Really well done; I like how you slowed it down. TCS is probably my favorite band and have been an avid listener since the Cake album. I never knew any other BBIers even know who they are. In fact, seeing them again in Northern VA on 11/1. Got to sit down with the boys in Baltimore last year and spend some time chatting.
The bluesbreakers is a cover of Freddy king!!!

Oh I know... I was just pointing out that my mention not only features the best guitar tone of all time, but ALSO was a cover and qualifies for this thread!
...a cover of a throwaway Jimi Hendrix cut that is one of my favorite cuts ever, period.
The entire album she recorded it on, "Wrecking Ball" is an absolute masterpiece - back in the mid 90's when it came out, I heard cuts of it on NPR - I wasn't a country or Emmylou fan, but this album blew me away. Absolutely stunning, swirling, gorgeous guitars soaked in delay's, Emmylou took on a vocal style that was almost whispered, adding to the vibe of the record. Covers of Neil Young, Dylan, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle on this record - each completely reinvented - one of my favorite albums.
Dizzy Miss Lizzy - Larry Williams, Beatles version. That song rocks like murder.
Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry, ELO's version. Love the orchestral/rock blend.
Gloria - Van Morrison, Patti Smith version. My rock and roll queen.
Something in the Air - Thunderclap Newman, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' version. Clean, crisp, Byrds like. Just a brilliant pop song.
Woodstock - Joni Mitchell, CSNY's version. Great song, Joni frankly never should have recorded it.
(I am) Superman - The Clique, REM's version. Another great pop song taken to another level by REM.
Respect - Otis Redding, The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin's version. Maybe the best covered song ever.
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley version...haunting voice that gets me every single time.
Supersition - Stevie Wonder, Beck, Bogert & Appice's version then Stevie Ray Vaughn's version. Both are awesome. Interestingly, BB&A recorded it first, but Stevie wrote it and took it back for himself soon afterwards. Thankfully, as his version is the best. I just like the rocked up versions more.
I always thought the story of that song was really interesting, very bittersweet. I like her version, and it is a peculiarity - but if you look at the event of Woodstock as the end of that era, which it really was - then the melancholy feel of her version works.
Of course the CSNY version blows it out of the park, a fantastic uplifting pop cut with searing guitar parts and a beautiful reworking of the melody, but I like Joni's version for what it is.

I had that exact same experience when listening to that album for the first time too. Its production sounds a bit dated now, but I still love May This Be Love along with Where Will I Be, Waltz Across Texas and Goin' Back to Harlan.
when they cover Dark Side, or Radiohead it seems like sacrilege (even as a reggae fan), but it's really fn great production, performance. Paranoid Andriod is just ridiculous (tho it stays relatively true to form) - chick's vox are just nailed, and Radiohead is certainly on my all-time fav list. I haven't met a song they covered I didn't like. They've done a ton more, but these are the most known
I mean, I probably like Peter Tosh's Steppin Razor better, but outside of that...5446 Was My Number, Smoke Two Joints (i think was a cover?), Scarlet Begonias, Trenchtown Rock...I'm inexplicably missing quite a few
Also Eddie Vedder / Strokes Mercy Mercy Me (most covers of that song I've heard are decent)

They did a killer "Diamonds and Rust" on "Unleashed in the East," as well. Love Rob Halford. The guy had some amazing pipes!
My favorite live album. Pretty much the album that got me into Metal.
I can't choose.

I wasn't expecting to like that -- Cornell is generally too "belt to the rafters" for my tastes. But damn.

dammit, someone felt the need to be a douche bag on a music thread asking what cover songs people like.
And it wasn't McKee. I guess there are more than one douche bag on music threads.

Couldn't disagree more, he's one of my favorite singers ever. Jimi's cover is the ONLY one that improves on a Dylan original, IMO.

I dunno...The Byrds' version of "Tambourine Man' is arguably better than Mr. Zimmerman's.
