Thread: Great Covers

I like Pat Benatar's take on this one.

There are some songs that are recorded only for that moment so that when you play them later they don't sound good, but a good hit record sounds good the day it's released and twenty years later

This particular cover track would have to be in my top two all time favorites, the second video / song was done to raise money towards a cancer research center and I'm pretty sure they raised something like $54 million.

Zoot out did the Beatles with Elinor Rigby.

Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails is allways a favorite in covers threads

I have watched that clip over and over

how do you post a youtube video again ?

I would have listed zoot - too. Legend has it that Paul McCartney said that it was the best version and he'd heard. Probably just being polite. Another Lennon-McCartney cover I like

Whilst I note above the cover by Springsteen, one of Springsteen's lesser known tunes was covered in the 70's a became a classic prog-rock hit.

And let's not forget that Fleetwood Mac tune made legendary by Santana

But of course lets not another classic by Al Green

Ok that's it for me - lest I dump half my itunes menu
