Covers

What are your favourite cover versions of songs?
Also, what are your favourite album covers?

I have been particularly enjoying Charlotte Dada's (http://youtu.be/T7-JrLuAaFY) rendition of The Beatle's Don't Let Me Down this evening.

And as for my personal favourite album artwork, I think it just has to be the cover for Swamp Dogg's Rat On LP

What we have here is Franz Ferdinand, an Alternative Rock Band, covering Blondie while using riffs from Black Sabbath.

Franz Ferdinand - Call me (Blondie cover) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sfgJGFNwww)

Also, Hurt as done by Johnny Cash is amazing.

[Jowy]

Sympathy for the Devil by Guns and Roses is better.
All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix is better.
Whiskey In The Jar by Metallica is better.

Ziggy Stardust. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWCQBtRzNJQ)
Hallelujiah. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWCQBtRzNJQ)
Last Kiss. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_sEtNrYlC4)
Oh, Sister. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZUr5IIG5eM)
Free Fallin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJcy6HKvLM) (shut the hell up, it's a good cover).
He Ya (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ejeEBlDESc) (the original is better but I likes this one).
This is the best cover of all, though. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEApf_FT25M)
edit: Born on a Train. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjiCVZwClXk)
Naive Melody (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No_rEntvRKs) (don't know how I fucking forgot about this one).

Nobody does a good cover of Love song and get the hell out of here with Iron and Wine Such Great Heights crap.

This is my favorite artwork I can think of off the top of my head. I'll be back later with more, I'm sure.

I'm actually glad that I didn't have to come in and post about Hurt and All Along the Watchtower for the third time in this thread. :p

Metal covers of songs are usually pretty awesome in my book.

I've really liked this cover lately though.
