And for something completely different. Here's "Iron Man" like you wouldn't believe.

I need to investigate that band, they sound pretty awesome.

Staying with the Black Sabbath theme I'm going for Pantera - Planet Caravan

What about The Dickies version of Paranoid...?

There's a cover of Sound of Silence going round https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4

It's by Disturbed and I'm loving it!

This is the correct answer to this thread! Not really much of a Disturbed fan but this is absolutely epic:thup:

Great thread by the way matey and hope you're feeling better.

Good choice Paul, like that, and yes I'm now heading the right way, thanks.

Jeff Buckley 'Hallelujah' and Jimi Hendrix 'All Along the Watchtower' are superb. Another one also enjoying Disturbed's Sound of Silence. A shout out too to Gary Jules 'Mad World'.

I can't think of a version of Hallelujah that I like but the other three are all good shouts.

Cowboy Junkies version of Sweet Jane is blissful.

Joe Cocker for me but I think this is a pretty good cover.

I hadn't seen this before but I have to agree, it's different and awesome

I'm not sure that anything is going to beat All Along the Watchtower but these were the two that immediately jumped into my head when I read the OP:

The wonderful Siouxsie with Dear Prudence (and the added bonus of course that Robert Smith played on this)

my favorite is the Cocteau Twins version of Tim Bucklys "Song to the Siren"

I absolutely love the Postmodern Jukebox on Youtube. Loads of good covers, great voices. They would be a lot better I'm sure if they did proper recordings, but for one-shot tracks they're very good indeed.

I've just heard the Disturbed cover on the radio, how good is that!?!?!?

Think I'll be checking them out on Spotify

Ha ha. We just had the same discussion at work, we have R2 on in our factory. Do you think someone got them to do a S & G song for a dare? Brilliantly done though. Another vote for Mr Hendrix from me.

A little tiff occurred on the Prince thread regarding a certain cover version of one of his songs. Rather than drag that thread off topic, thought I'd start a new one. Simple question; what's your best cover version of a song.

I'll toss this one in to start it off; a classic track, given a new twist whilst retaining a faithfulness to the original and performed at a tribute show to the original band in the presence of the remaining band members with a familial link to the missing band member. I loved the original, but I prefer the cover version;

i don't think it was a tiff at all i was joking around
