Cover Versions that Beat the Originals

[Gnasher]

Wouldn't go so far to say its 'better' than the al green classic but it's right up there

I think I’ve posted it before, but who cares... a sublime rendition.

Prince - Creep.

 

Otherworldly guitar solo at the end.

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

She Drew the Gun  - No Hole in my  Head

 

 

[Trumo]

'Bad Guy' by The Interrupters. They make it sound like it should be a ska track. Thanks to Lurtzy on Facebook for the link.

Brilliant cover this.

 

 

[cloggypop]

Take a load of fanny. 

 

Yeah, good version that aRdje.

You know you've got something when the band you're covering invites you to their final concert to help them sing it one last time.

I fucking love that song and it's a great cover. The video below of both the band and stable singers singing it together I must have listened to a thousand times. It still gives me goose bumps at around the 1.45 mark when Pop Staples sings his solo in his effortless hushed velvet voice.

It's all Over Now by Ry Cooder I've always liked, though the Stones one is great. 

Not sure if that's not a cover on itself?

I think this is the original. Bobby Womack

That's pretty good too, must be late 50s very early 60s, Bobby Womack is one of many artists I've missed over the years, obviously heard some more mainstream, that I need to listen to more. 

Which is good really as you can get into new yet old material, there's loads of it out there, I keep going further and further back and think that's a great song I never knew.

I don't have much Bobby Womack stuff but absolutely love this song, think it's from circa 1973.

All about opinions of course, but in my view there are a number of versions of Whiskey in the Jar that are better than that, none more so than Thin Lizzy.

Beautiful. I love Bobby Womack hard to pick a favourite but the one below is right up there for me. The fella playing lead guitar on this is a fella called James Johnston who played on loads of classic soul records of the time, I love the way he makes his guitar form a duet with Bobby's voice.
