Nice one

Wolf that Linkin Park cover of Adele is pretty cool. Nice find.

I heard this on a Super Bowl commercial and had to look it up...
Willie Nelson - The Scientist


Here's Coldplay's original - from one of my all time favorite albums A Rush Of Blood To The Head



I've disliked John Mayer for a decade... mostly due to a few of his songs on the radio that I just can't stand. More recently though, the more I've heard, I have to admit he is VERY talented.



Another version, John Mayer with Brad Paisley


And the original (still the best) with Eric Clapton - Master's class is in session! I freaking love this song...

A Yahoo music blogger ranks the "20 craziest cover albums"

Topping the list is William Shatner's(!) album 'Seeking Major Tom'
William Shatner - Space Oddity

(Good Lord that's terrible!!! )

You probably don't need me to post the original for you to know it's better...
But here's David Bowie's Space Oddity

David Bowie's Space Oddity is special to me.... U2 used it to intro the best concert(s) I've ever seen!

A while back I posted a bad cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity. Here's a good one!

The Smashing Pumpkins covered Space Oddity at a music festival a few days ago. It sounds great

Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings


Cover by Chester Bennington with Travis Barker and Camp Freddy

Cheap Trick - Surrender (I freaking love this song!)


Cover by Velvet Revolver(?)


Cover by Green Day

Sarge posted this on my Facebook wall. It's a winner!

With the cd player broken in my car I'm stuck listening to radio... Here's a few covers I've heard recently on my local rock station.

This cover is very cool!
Sounds of Silence by Bobaflex (Cover)


Sounds of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (Original)


Also cool...
16 Tons by Martin DeBourge & Chris Catharsis (Cover)


16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford (Original)


Not really a fan of either of these, heard it tonight and it made me laugh.
Oops, I Did It Again by Children of Bodom (Cover)


Oops, I Did It Again by Britney Spears (Original)

Pretty cool Cover of "Sound of Silence" but nothing beasts this cover


On their Newest album special edition Sabaton included 3 Covers

Feuer Frei (Rammstein/Original)

Still my No#1 Song of all time

2.Twilight of the thunder god (Sabaton/Cover)

Twilight of the thunder god (Amon Amarth/Original)


3. In the Army now (Sabaton/cover)

In the Army now (Status Quo/original)


Battery (Ensiferum/cover)

Battery (Metallica/Original)

This is a violin cover of Lights by Ellie Goulding:

Usually metal/hard rock bands with female lead singers tend to annoy me. I heard this on the radio a few nights ago, maybe not too different from the original but I liked it.

Breed by Otep


Breed by Nirvana (Original)

One of my clients at work told me about this. It's... um... interesting.

Uprising by I Wrestled A Bear Once


Uprising (Original) by Muse


You'll probably never get me to say someone did a Muse song better than Muse. Because Muse is the best band on the planet, (I'll accept no arguments). However, there's a few things I like about the cover... I like the double bass and the breakdown at 3:17 is surprising and cool. Not really into the vocals.

Here is KREATOR's version of IRON MAIDEN's "Number of the Beast"
