Best cover version

[Blue in Munich]

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

Tiff was being polite; a couple of your comments came across as damned rude and re-reading the thread I suspect some others felt the same.

Most of Joe Cocker's biggest hits!

Quite a few of Rod Stewart's ones as well! Particularly 'Have I Told You Lately'

Whitney Houston's 'I will always love you'

And maybe Eric Clapton's acoustic 'cover' of Layla!!

Dillinger Escape Plan covering "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin is one to get the blood pumping...

Cancer Bats covering "Sabotage" by The Beastie Boys is also a good one...

I'm a big Bowie fan, was honestly gutted when he died in January. One of my favourite tunes of his is Sound and Vision. I also like Beck.

Only discovered this is January and love it, possibly more than the original. Listen thru headphones.

Johnny Cash - American IV - the whole album with Hurt as the standout amongst some very difficult to choose between tracks:

Hurt is the right answer...

Radiohead did a great cover of the Bond theme 'Nobody Does it Better' for an MTV live show back in the day.

Its on youtube, just not able to put the link up at the moment, happy for someone to oblige.

I quite like the radio 1 live lounge sessions where loads have done cover versions, quite like the supermassive black hole cover by some girl (can't remember)
Also Radiohead covering the Smiths and Weezer covering Radiohead, to many to mention really. Oh and Nirvana the man who stole the world.

Live Lounge had some great (and crap) covers. Arctic Monkeys did a cover of Amy Winehouse Back to Black which was superb and likewise The Fratellis doing Hotel Yorba.
