What's Your Favourite Cover Version?

Michael Stipes version of U2's "One" is excellent. Have a listen, even if you don't like U2, because Michael spins the song in a totally different direction.

Also, Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer's version of Redemption song is delicious.

Actually, that is one of the worst covers ever. To think it's better than the original is just insane.

I like Paint It Black by the Tea Party.

I really like Easy Star All Stars covers of Brain Damage and Money by Pink Floyd, and I love Sonic Youths cover of Superstar, it's creamy

I like New Found Glory's "Kiss Me."

I saw it live and absolutely loved it.

I like The Gossip's version of "Are U That Somebody" by Aaliyah. Different and cool.

Johnny Cash covers Nick Cave brilliantly:

Excellent cover of a John Martyn song. Such a shame hes no longer with us.

I'm pretty sure I love that first video you posted.
