BEST Cover Song

[MN ChimpH8R]

There are a few out there, ya know.

A few that come to mind are:

Rickie Lee Jones' and The Four Tops covers of "Walk Away Renee"
The Adult Net's cover of "Incense and Peppermints"
The Slickee Boys' cover of "Pictures of Matchstick Men"
Siouxsie and the Banshees' cover of "Wheel's On Fire"


No, I am not gonna mention Dread Zeppelin :)

1. Marvin Gaye -- I Heard it Through the Grapevine n/t

n/t

2. I like the Fugees version of

Killing me Softly

[alarcojon]

5. And Cassandra Wilson's "Time After Time"

She has a great voice. Not that it's hard to outdo Cindy Lauper.

3. I liked Foo Fighters "Darling Nikki"

but it was way too short compared to the original.

[Dhalgren]

4. Bowie's version of "See Emily Play"...

6. I liked Rare Earth's version of "Feeling Alright"

And the ultimate best cover, in my view is "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. Otis Redding did that song pretty well, but Aretha turned it into an anthem.

7. I Fought the Law

the Clash :D But, their cover of Police and Thieves is not better than the original.
