A beautiful Cover album. Youtube the covers by L.A. Guns and be amazed

They also got a good cover of "I love Rock'n roll" which indeed is a song originally by "The Arrows". Discoverd it myself after a Joan Jett concert.

My favorite Jimi Hendrix cover,

First up The One and Only, Jimi Hendrix, Little Wing.


Next is Stevie Ray Vaughan, Little Wing.

Here's a couple U2 covers from the fantastic tribute album In The Name of Love - Artists United For Africa. This album is one of my favorites and I'd strongly recommend it to any fan of U2 and/or covers.

Some may consider this heresy... but I like this version of Beautiful Day by Sanctus Real better than the original!


Pride (In The Name of Love) by Deliriou5?


Sunday Bloody Sunday by Pillar


I won't post all of the songs I love from the album. But if you care to check my other favorites out here's a few more. Gloria by Audio Adrenaline, Where The Streets Have No Name by Chris Tomlin, When Love Comes to Town by Todd Agnew, and One by Tait Band.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Castles Made of Sand

RHCP cover


The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Fire

RHCP cover

Hurt.... best song/cover ever? Amazing! (Kinda funny it took us 40 posts for somebody to post that)

I wish I'd gotten into Johnny Cash sooner so I possibly could have seen him live just once

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!

^ Love U2 and that song. Speaking of Bowie covers, I somehow never put 2 and 2 together until now

I just saw a great Jim Carey movie with a great cover by Beck that belongs here. This might be my new favorite single:


It's AMAZING how much better Beck did this song. Old version here:

SO here I am agian for covers i dug out ,from marilyn manson
Original

COVER


he also covered tainted love but i couldn't find a working video.
I like both versions of this song but the original a bit more.
