'Some Velvet Morning' By Primal Scream

David Bowie songs by Seu Jorge of the Life Acuatic OST are of the best covers i heard lately.

'like a Virgin' by Marylin Manson is cool too

[grady]

Richard Cheese does some great lounge covers of popular songs. My favorite at the moment is Add it Up by the Violent Femmes.

hmm.... I am not a huge fan of covers, but here's some prettty good ones


Horace Andy - Ain't No Sunshine
Primal Scream - Some Velvet Morning (prefer the single version though)
David Bowie - Cactus
Martin Gore - By This River
Talking Heads - Take Me to the River
Ian Brown - Thriller
Jamie Lidell - Music Will Not Last (cover of Herbert's "The Audience")
U2 - Neon Lights


oh, and Peter Gabriel's cover of "Get Up Stand Up" isn't incredible but it's definitely interesting

I am the Walrus - Oasis.............not better than the original but i like it!

[goldfish]

Scissor Sisters - Comfortable Numb

Infinitely better than the original

[Rog]

Oooops! forgot "Dr Who" by Orbital .......by far the best cover ever

[victoria]

Arcade Fire's version of The Talking Head's "Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place)"

And if you like covers, might I suggest coverville.com. It's a podcast where the guy plays all covers, and it generally has a theme. It's good fun to listen to!
