Another one that could be on either thread, but since my cousin loves Brandi Carlile, I'm posting this on the "Better" thread

Is it a cover if it's done by the band that performed the original?
Either way, never really cared for the original but kind of like this.

Don't know if Weezer's cover of Africa by Toto has been offered up yet. If so, who cares, it's worth listening to again. I wouldn't say it's way better than the original, but Weezer did a great job. When this song comes up on the radio it gets turned up to 11.

The group A-Ha was always kind of considered just a hip-hop group of teenage boys but they are actually quite impressive musicians. The keyboardist (Magne Furuhoman) wrote some of the music in that song when he was only 15 years old and has written for dozens of other artists. The lead singer, Morten Harket, has a highly regarded range of vocals. A number of top musicians in Europe and elsewhere think highly of them.

This is great. Thanks for posting. I love unusual covers like this.

I'm sure the fans of the original would cringe, but these really were great renditions of incredible songs.
And one that shouldn't make anyone cringe:
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Wait, what? Under the Bridge is a cover song?
I haven't read all 17 pages of this thread so my apologies if this has been covered already.
See what I did there?

Some will disagree, but Bear McCreary's arrangement of All Along the Watchtower is tops in my book.
âźď¸ We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green. - Chesterton
