Came across a few cover tunes over the past few days that I haven't heard in a while. Made me think of a list of great covers. What else is out there...

Patti Smyth/10000 maniacs - Because The Night (springsteen)
Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old DIxie Down (the band)

Sonic Youth / The Carpenters - Superstar
Nina Gordon / NWA - Straight outta Compton

Although both versions are overplayed...

Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell)

-Keely.

Motörhead / Girlschool - Emergency

Lorde / Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule

Marilyn Manson / Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

Does Beiber do any covers?

Thought he was doing the Jail House rock.

Heart / Led Zeppelin -Stairway to Heaven

Probably the best Stairway cover ever.

Something fun:
Julia Nunes / Panic at the Disco - That Green Gentleman

Another amazing cover
KD Lang / Leonard Cohen - Halleujah

Quiet you!

As a side note, that's Jason Bonham on the drums, John Bonham's son. Also, note that Robert Plant sheds a tear or two near the end. I figure if you can make Robert Plant cry by playing his own song, it's a damn good cover.

Have to agree on the Kennedy Awards Heart/Zep cover...watched it again on 10 ft. screen...Robert Plant wiping tears, Barack Obama nodding in awe. And not just because it was one of the few Zep numbers not stolen from black artists LOL. In short, it was fookin' amayonazing.

Here are a few - As Tears Go By (Marianne Faithful, Rolling Stones) Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter (Siouxshie and the Banshees, Beatles) Gloria (Patti Smith, Van Morrison)Crimson & Clover (Joan Jett, Tommy James & The Shondells)

Iggy Pop / Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Passenger

Nirvana / Tori Amos - Smells like Teen Spirit

I have now seen it all. Thanks Internet.

I'm thinking a good cover of "Walk on the Wild Side" would be a double win here.

For anyone into heavier music Tori Amos also covered Slayers Raining Blood

For the country/folk music fans:

Crazy - Patsy Cline (Willie)
Me & Bobby McGee - Janice Joplin (Kristofferson)

and the White Stripes cover of Jolene made me think of Jack White's cover of an early Tegan & Sara tune: Walking with a Ghost

That reminds me, Neko Case does a version of Tom Waits "Letters from a Hooker from Minneapolis on Christmas Eve".... Or whatever it's called.

"Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" in fact.

Holly Cole did a whole album of Waits tunes that's a-ok. (German Cabaret Singer) Ute Lemper did a nice job on a couple of his tunes on one of her albums. And Scarlett Johansen's album was almost entirely Waits covers too. Wouldn't recommend tracking that last one down though.

How about Van Halen covering "Dancing in the Street". Somehow less ridiculous than Bowie and Jagger doing it a few years later.

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons / Within Temptation

I don't love or hate either band, but the singer from Within Temptation is certainly easy on the eyes.

I really don't like Daft Punk at all - I wish I had heard this version first...

Get Lucky - Daft Punk / Halestorm


Halestorm seems to do a lot of covers.
