Best Cover Songs

Alphaville's Big in Japan covered by Anne Brun:

 

 

[Lightstream]

Not really a cover version in the proper sense, but simply awesome: Johnny Cash's I see a darkness remixed by Acid Pauli:

Captain Beefheart covering Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy":

 

 

[sphinxsix]

Cassandra Wilson - Resurrection Blues (Tutu)

 

[JoseL]

 

IMO this the best cover, that I know, of the Pink Floyd’s classic.

 

[89reksal]

Johnny Winter: "Highway 61 Revisited"

 

For me, this is the definitive version of this Dylan classic, much the same way as Hendrix's version of "All Along The Watchtower" has become the definitive version.

Frida Snell covering Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins) "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"

This cover of a Janis Joplin number is one of those I immediately think of for these sort of threads - the album this is from, Slayed, is magic stuff for good time, driving garage rock; fabulous to listen to,

Best cover ever?  Janis doing Me and Bobby McGee.

Another cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, this time by Daisy Gray:

This is how you do a cover.  Otis Brown III w/ Gretchen Parlato - Still The One

Two absolute classics IMO:

Joe Cocker

- With a Little Help from My Friends

- Just Like a Woman

...a cover of a different "Big in Japan". No, it is not one of the Best Covers and it does not have audiophile sound, so please remain seated on your toadstools and wait for something really big to happen...🦄

Amazing cover version, and incredibly moving. I've seen this used twice at the end of quality television shows, as all the elements of a critical situation played out. It leaves you stunned.
