Title: Best Cover Versions Thread Post by: donkey on Saturday, November 30, 2019, 14:56:16 As we have no game today I thought I'd start this thread... and it's sister one, too.

Title: Re: Best Cover Versions Thread Post by: Red Frog on Saturday, November 30, 2019, 16:33:56 No-one but Reg remembers the 1968 original, but this cover is gorgeous. Ironically, the two divas got on so badly they couldn't bear to stick around to make a video:

Only rule is to post both the cover and original for comparison. Also, just because you prefer the cover doesn't mean you think the original is shit. I only discovered this song this year....and it was the Johnny Cash version I heard first. I was gobsmacked to discover that it was a cover version... the JC version sounded so incredibly personal and heart rending, I couldn't believe it wasn't the original... amazing song...blows the NIN version out the water...I open with... https://youtu.be/8AHCfZTRGiI Original https://youtu.be/6oGqIfnIAEA Title: Re: Best Cover Versions Thread Post by: Ginginho on Sunday, December 1, 2019, 08:50:03 I saw the thread title and the first one that sprung to mind was Johnny Cash - Hurt. Good work, guys.
Another one that jumped out at me: Tears For Fears (Original) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZvPSpLxCg Gary Jules (Cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4 (I love that Annie Lennox cover too, Jayo) :thumb: Title: Re: Best Cover Versions Thread Post by: 4D on Sunday, December 1, 2019, 09:15:39 I have both of these versions :)

I'd take JD over SS anyday. Title: Re: Best Cover Versions Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, December 1, 2019, 10:56:59 Another rarely mentioned cover that is way better than the Bananananarama original.
