Cover versions. Lazy and indulgent or an important way for bands to experiment and take influence/nob about?
Post your fave and make me go... "What? That's never a cover!!"
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (orig. Leonard Cohen)
Raped by X Factor but still stunning.
Johnny Cash - Hurt (orig. NIN)
The sound of an old rebel dying.
Happy Mondays - Step On (orig. John Kongos)
Mental that this is even a cover, still gets people doing that silly dancing in indie clubs across the land.
The Fall - Mr Pharmacist (orig. The Other Half)
Mark E Smith and his knowledge of bizarre old garage rock knows no end.
Postal Service - Against all Odds (orig. THE COLLINS)
I don't care. I love it. Ace, ace cover.
Cat Power - Bathypshere (orig. Smog)
The dreamy Cat Power has released a few covers, but this version of a track from the criminally under rated Bill Callahan is my fave.
