I'll start:
Eva Cassidy's version of Time After Time (original by Cyndi Lauper) Also really like Adele's version of Lovesong (by the Cure) and the version sung by the most recent American Idol winner, too! (Forgot her name already . . . but it was a great version.) |
Tina Turner's version of Help |
Simple Man by Shinedown
Crazy by Ray Lamontagne |
Red House Painters -- Ocean Breathes Salty (Modest Mouse cover)
Sublime -- Hope (Descendents cover) Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane (Lou Reed cover) Proud Mary -- Ike and Tina (CCR cover) |
Mumford and Sons - The Boxer |
Dolly Parton does great covers. Seven Bridges Road, Shine, Travelin' Prayer, Time For Me to Fly. |
A couple people/groups have done amazing covers of 80's songs:
#1 - Chris Cornell "Billie Jean" (although I think I heard the David Cook American Idol version first) #2 - Seether "Careless Whisper" |
I love Bob Dylan's cover of Can't Help Falling in Love. |
Nickel Creek's cover of Britney Spears' Toxic is really fun.
|
They also do a great cover of Pavement's "Spit on a Stranger" |
Johnny Cash- Hurt |
Chris Daughtry- paparazzi |
Seether is one of my absolute favorites. |
Over the Rainbow -- Brudda Iz |
Cat Power - Sea of Love |
