There are a lot of great covers out there....

Joan Osborne has a whole CD with covers of classic 60's and 70's soul/R&B and pop tunes called "How Sweet It Is"
Amazon.com: How Sweet It Is: Joan Osborne: Music

Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs put out a covers CD that's also GREAT:

Speaking of Susanna Hoffs...Bangles cover of Simon and Garfunkels "Hazy Shade of Winter" is kick *****

Best New Artist Grammy winner Adele does an AMAZING cover of Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love"

Al Green does a fantastic cover of the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart"

Paul McCartney has 2 cover CD's..."Run Devil Run"

Amazon.com: Run Devil Run: Paul McCartney: Music

Choba B CCCP (Back in the USSR)

Also does a great cover of "All Things Must Pass" Live.

BTW, someone mentioned "Knockin' on Heavens Door"...2 versions to look for are Triumphs version and The Alarms version.

Gomez' cover of The Beatles "Getting Better" is great.

U2 did a cover of the Beatles "Rain" but I've only heard it on bootlegs from the Unforgetable Fire Tour.

The most interesting cover I've heard was Midge Ure's cover of Jethro Tulls "Living In The Past" on Midge's 1st solo LP called "The Gift"

Government Mule's cover of the Beatles "She Said"

There's just so many great covers out there...

Who's Makin Love? - Originally by Johnnie Taylor - Best Covered by The Blues Brothers

Hell...ANYTHING covered by the Blues Brothers is Awesome...can't go wrong there.

Hands down - Ace Frehley's cover of ELO's song "Do Ya".

Here's Ace's version -

Here's ELO's version -

YouTube - Do Ya - Electric Light Orchestra


I think Ace buried ELO on that tune...Amazing isn't it?

[madmarva]

Aerosmith's version of Come Together

Don Henley's Unclouded Day

Zeppelin's Babe I'm gonna leave You

[jwyblejr]

Does Ozzy's cover of Paranoid count? Just think the one he did with Randy Rhoads is better than his Black Sabbath version.

>disturbed: land of confusion

Oh YEAH! Heavier, grimier and best of all; no Phil!

Gamma Ray's version of "It's A Sin" was pretty good too.

>An no, William Shatner doing "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is NOT one of the great covers

Sez you!

One cover I do not like is Metalic doing Turn the Page

I don't know why but I just don't like their version

[Wee67]

Good Stuff!

Does anyone remember (maybe you do, Matt) the name of the band made up of memebers of the Minutemen and Sonic Youth who put out a 7-inch with covers of Madonna? Haven't heard that in years.
