Audio: Let's hear your favorite cover song.
Submitted by Suzy.
Do traditional songs count? If so here are a couple:
Long Black Veil by The Band
Matty Groves by Fairport Convention
OK, proper cover tunes:
2HB by The Venus in Furs (from the Velvet Goldmine Soundtrack - yes, that's Thom Yorke on vocals) Originally Roxy Music
You Ain't Goin' nowhere by The Byrds. Originally Robert Zimmerman
You Ain't Goin' nowhere by The Byrds. Originally Robert Zimmerman
Concerto in D minor (on two concertinas in this case) by Mike Agranoff. Originally J.S. Bach
OK, not really a cover. Here is a tune from one of the two Mermaid Avenue albums in which Billy Bragg and Wilco recorded unrecorded Woody Guthrie tunes.
Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key by Billy Bragg and Wilco
How about the original version of songs that have been covered?
Respect by Otis Redding
How about a cover (of sorts) within a cover?
Here is a live recording of RKO (Robby Krieger Organization) (yes, R. Krieger of The Doors) doing a live version of Spanish Caravan and busting into a wicked version of Chick Corea's (Return to Forever) Spain.
How about songs that sound like other songs? Nah, that should do it.
Wait, I have to do one more. I could upload this man's entire album, as it is nothing but covers. Lounge versions, to be specific.
Closer by Richard Cheese. Originally Nine Inch Nails
