Sorry if there has already been a thread on this, but which would you say are the best and worst covers youve heard?
Best:
- Jeff Buckleys cover of Leonard Cohen's piece Hallelujah is amazing. It can reduce me to tears because Jeff had a beautiful voice and the song is beautiful.
- Goldfinger's 99 red balloons originally sung by Nena, I think. Its so upbeaty and makes me wanna start dancing
- Barenaked Ladies version of Little Green Bag. Such a great track and so jazzy! Plus Tom Jones helps
- Faith No More with Easy. Lionel Richies version is great, but this one just mellows me out more.
- Johnny Cash with One. Im not sure who orignally wrote it, but I prefer this version to U2s.
- Reel Big Fish singing Take On Me. Such an awesome track.
- Oh and everything Me, First and the Gimme Gimmes sing!
Worst:
- Ronan Keating with Fairytale Of New York. Just die now Ronan. Shame on you.
- William Shatner performing Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ... Enough said.
- Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson. I like him and I like that song, but the 2 should never have been introduced.
How bout you? I cant think of anymore naff ones, but post yours!
