Nikko1960 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I really enjoy the Jacques Loussier Trio's jazz interpretation of a Bach classic here: They also have a great jazz interpretation of Satie here: Both are favourites of mine and highly worth a try out. Nikko 89reksal 1 Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hendrix 'All Along the Watchtower' wins in my private ranking but there are so many other great covers. This one started my interest in Jacqui Naylor A great song and a great album by 70+ mento musicians This is Beatallica, a cover band covering Beatles' in Metallica style Link to comment

Lightstream Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's not often that the cover version is better than the original. But sometimes musicians succeed in distilling the essence of an existing song and working out the idea of the original even better. An example for this is imho Yello's Lost Again covered by Moby. He created a slow motion version of the song (similar to Peter Gabriel's version of Heroes lasker98 posted above) which is very different from the original. The song has now a new dramaturgy with two peaks at 2:38 min and 3:58 min. Not a song to dance to, but something to inhale tone by tone. Go where you feel most alive. Link to comment
bruny Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I know there have been many covers of Prince - Purple Rain. But this is my favourite. Never new Natasha could sing so well. Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The original song is so good that it's hard to find a good cover version. These two are IMO among the most interesting ones. Link to comment
