Favourite song cover.

[Kaeb]

Thought i'd jazz up this section with some music, alot of movie and game talk lately.

So whats your favourite cover, redo, remake or reinvention of a song?


Mine right now has got to be Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean:

Click for brilliance.

Mine is Hero of the day By the gods of rock, Metallica.

Beware: you might get an overexposure of pure awesomeness.

Wouldn't say it's my favourite, but I still love it.

Probably Nirvana's Cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" by Bowie, most people don't realize he wrote that song to be honest.

 

[Matt]

All along the watchtower by Hendrix.

One of the rare times a cover is better then the original.

Up until about two years ago I had no idea Bowie wrote the song, I'd always just listen to the Nirvana Unplugged version.

And Metallica are okay, there not really the gods of rock and my first post pretty much explains what a cover is.

Smooth Criminal!

Over the Rainbow by The Blanks

I think I'm the only person that likes the Bowie version better.

Don't get me wrong I love the Bowie version too, he's the man.

But i've always loved the sounds of Grunge singers voices, especially when covering songs.

Which is why I like Chris Cornells version of MJ's 'Billie Jean' so much.

So strange, i've been listening to that Micheal Jackson cover song the past week and then news of his death emerges.

Bad vibes yo.
