Who has done the best cover of a song? (1 Viewer)

hallelujah - jeff buckley

 

[Teclis]

I'm going to have to go back to All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix...

Simply because Bob Dylan started using his version...

I'm also going to have to say Katie Noonan in Elixer when they did "Goodbye Yellow brick Road" as well as "River Man...

And... an Australian Jazz/Folk group called Stringmansassy do a cover of Sting's song "Fragile" that makes my spine tingle and makes you think and they do a rainforest soundscape at the start with her voice and his guitar that makes you feel like you're in the rainforest... That would have to take the cake.

Paulson does a really good indietronic cover of Wonderwall. It should be on their myspace page if you want to check it out.

Haven't heard the Stone Sour version.
The Three Days Grace version is alright, skips out a whole section though.
I'm not really a HIM fan, used to be but pretty over them now. But their cover is fantastic.

I Still like the original though.

foo fighters - baker st

^It's an alright cover. Though I much prefer the original.

There is a cover of Andy Mckee's Rylynn, which is done on the piano. It's so strange hearing it on an instrument other than the guitar. Beautiful, none the less.
