Keeping with that theme of dearly departed rockers covering their faves:

TP and Stevie Nicks "Needles and Pins" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNU5ySctPz4
TP and the Heartbreakers covering the Count 5 garage rock classic "Psychotic Reaction" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCLJQrZia2I
Here's another garage classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EULWqD2t6fM
Then of course, there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q3dXiQJukM

Nice choice, they were always good for some classic 60's covers.

I'll add the J. Geils Band covering The Supremes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOLrOtq6tnU

They constantly try to escape from the darkness outside and within
Dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good T.S. Eliot

Thanks for that - a more than creditable cover of one of my favorite songs. I've got Stages on vinyl ... but there are altenatives now:

Not sure if this has been posted, but it's a solid remake. I'm indifferent to the original, but I really dig this one.

Perhaps not better, just.. different.

This has been getting a lot of play on XPN

Ha, I heard that about a week ago (on WXPN!) and love it. Downloaded his CD and that track has been a fixture in my car.

Saw The Cult on their "Ceremony" tour ('91/'92?) and the opener was a Canadian band called Bootsauce who seemed to be trying for some kind of RHCP vibe - one of their big hits was apparently a cover of that song. But it really belongs in the other 'covers' thread.

Yep, that was awful [shut it down about 30 seconds in]

Adele - Hello (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

If you are into metal, I highly recommend searching for the cover of Hello above.

Frozen cover (?) sorta.

I had no idea that THIS



Is a cover of THIS



Tracey's vocals aren't up to Kirsty's but the video is classic

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

I've never experienced such a contrast between hating the original song and loving a cover of it.

Journey's "Open Arms." I could never stand that song.

Turns out it was always meant to be a bluegrass song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch1yMLjdDcI

I searched and don't think this is a repeat (or, worse, is in the cover way worse than original thread), but no guarantees as this is 15 page, nine year old thread:

I think Bangles' Hazy Shade of Winter is way better than the original S&G version.

Also Counting Crows' You Ain't Going Nowhere is better than Dylan/Band original, but not "way" better.

Carry on.
