Between the covers

Bryan Ferrys cover of Dylans 'A hard rains gonna fall'. Also Jose Gonzales' version of Teardrop....these are good covers in case your wondering.

Youth Group's cover of "Forever Young" is very nice. Has been in my head constantly this last week or so.

[bon3yard]

I liked Elvis Costellos version of Shipbuilding and the They Might be Giants cover of Istanbul(not Constantinople).

[HonaloochieB]

Definitely go with the Ferry version of AHRGF.

I have a soft spot for Ian Hunter doing A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.

Also worth a mention is The Futureheads version of Hounds of Love.

Absolutely!

[annaj]

The Flying Pickets cover of Space Oddity is one of my favourites!

[bon3yard]

Canned Heats rendition of Lilly The Pink. No, really.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Like the original - like this... love the darkness in the father's revelation... "She's been dead since 1929..."

Pictures of Lily (The Who) - Bowie

[Keef]

Beck - Everybody's gotta learn some time - From Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind soundtrack.

Original by The Korgis I think.

Mockney that cover of Paint It Black made my ears bleed pooh it was so bad! What are you trying to do to us?!

Can't believe no one has put this:

Hendrix does Dylan

[Keef]

That reminds me

Stones do Dylan

[HonaloochieB]

The Flaming Groovies versions of Werewolves Of London and Absolutely Sweet Marie are top-hole I think.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Love this by Alexis Korner:

Get off my cloud

[eccentric]

Anyone gonna mention Mr Covers.. Joe Cocker

With a Little Help from My Friends Beatles

While you see a chance Stevie Winwood

First We Take Manhattan Leonard Cohen

All fine by me

[dulmum]

Flying Burrito Brothers cover of Rolling Stones Wild Horses does it for me, especially the piano solo. Epic stuff.

[Keef]

Eccentric, I can't believe no one (me included) had mentioned With a little help! I almost think of that as his song, as it's just so different, and so much better (in my opinion) than the original.

[HonaloochieB]

Personally I hate the Cocker version and think Ringo's simple style serves the song better than JC's 'emoting'.

An old Otis Redding track

I've Been Loving You A Little Too Long - Tindersticks

Sorry Sean, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. To me, Redding is nothing short of God and this is well...ummm...not really working for me, shall we say. I do like this though:

[SeanMacGabhann]

I thought we might disagree ;-) ... but whilst I like the movie... the soundtrack to the Commitments is just...no!

[david_carnell]

Yeah it is a bit cheesy I suppose and certainly not, umm, subtle but it has a certain charm.

I suppose there is always:

If I had to, and I mean really had to, watch only one film, on loop, for the rest of my life - it might just be the Blues Brothers.

[HonaloochieB]

Walk On By - The Stranglers. Dionne Warwick's original is so fragile and beautiful you know she'll fall to pieces if you speak to her.

With The Stranglers though, you now they'll rip your lungs out if even allude to the break up.

[Keef]

A couple to avoid!

Although that has also reminded me of one of my favourites in G N'R's cover of Live & Let Die!

[HonaloochieB]

Love Is All Around - Wet Wet Wet.

Great cover and not in a guilty pleasures sort of way.

[HonaloochieB]

My Way - Sid Vicious. Never liked this song.

SV gave it the teatment it deserved. His finest hour.
