I;m a massive Nirvana fan and generally hate people covering their songs but this is a true re-imagining

 

[Baines' left foot]

Totally different from the original, but I really quite like this at the moment.

Damn you, was gonna post that!

Thing I love about these threads is when yuo find a song you never knew was a cover, and get to discover the original
Another example if Always on my Mind, never knew that was a cover.

Try these on for size

Lauryn Hill .... Cant take my eyes off of you
...

Don't really like that one, yet strangely love their 'Killing Me Softly'!

mama told me not to come - stereophonics and tom jones
Mollys Lips - Nirvana
Hard to Handle - Black Crowes

to name but a few, sometimes the covers are just better.

Good call.

Radio 1's live lounge is worth a look

Some great stuff on the Live Lounge, hadn't heard that one before. Didn't Leona Lewis do her Hallejulah there first also??

This is one of my faves, by my fave band:

what a wonderful world - ramones

I get by with a little help from my friends. Joe Cocker did it much better than the Beatles.....

Theme tune to The Wonder Years!

 

[Walter Ego]

Oasis did a good version of the jam's "carnation"

Travis - Hit Me Baby One More Time. Surprisingly ace!

Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of foxy lady is good. I think I prefer it to the original. I have vague recollections of seeing Travis on the telly at Glastonbury doing a cover of 'Hit me baby one more time' and thinking it was pretty good.

Glad someone agrees with me!
