One of my favourite VoiVod tracks. A superb Syd Barrett cover.
Not sure I prefer Gorgoroth's version to the original, but Gaahl's vocals are sick here.

Tool - No Quarter
My favorite cover of all time, Jimmy Page stated that Tool played it better than Zep did. This isn't the official video, this is their studio version. There are live vids out there though.

Cassidy's a good shout. Her covers are almost all excellent, she really makes them her own. I particularly like Summertime and Autumn Leaves.
adam lambert's version is even better
Sleepy nails this one
I love the strings in this
Phyllis Dillon also did a great version.

On the other hand:
Ones that should never have worked, but did. Brilliantly:
Every Step You Take - Puff Daddy
Your Extra Time (And Your Kiss) - Tom Jones
Valerie - Amy Whitehouse

Just my opinion.
Remember Tomorrow, Metallica cover of Iron Maiden
Land of Confusion, Disturbed cover of Genesis (
). Video is quite good.

Guns 'N Roses - Live and Let Die
That's a good shout.
Dream Theatre have done some excellent covers.
Corrs' version of Everybody Hurts is a nice one.
Also, Led Zep's When the Levee Breaks
Bryan Ferry - Jealous Guy
Good shout, I quite like Bryan Ferry's version, even more so than Lennon's original in fact.
A couple of my personal favourite covers are:
Probably because I'd do anything for another album from The Postal Service.
He takes the song and conveys the same kind of emotional disturbance with just a guitar and his voice. Well done, Mr. Rice!
actually the way Ferry sings it is much better than Lennon, imo. In fact Ferry's version is one of my all time favourites.
Ladies and Gentlemen... la crême...
Wonderful! Thanks for the contribution man... that made my day.
I agree Erica. It's a brilliant cover.
Some insipid covers posted here. Eva Cassidy? Newton fecking Faulkner?
It was alright, doesn't hold a torch to the original by Tin (I know they didn't write the song, but no one actually does. And yes, I know the Dubliners performed it first)
You're joking. The original is a million times better.
Agreed. The Caf needs a Kate Bush appreciation club.
I'm in. 50 Words for Snow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Iiiiiiiiiihhhhh!
one of my favourites:
adam lambert-mad world american idol season 8 top 8 (not pics or recorded) - YouTube
Guest vocals from Stephen Fry? What's not to love!
I've not click those vids yet but what is the Rage video/song where the lead singer is wearing a Ford badged style 'fuct' t shirt and Tom Morrello is giving it some whammy action?
Really narrowing it down there mate.
If there was one tune I'd say you could never, ever cover, it's Nick Drake's Fly. And still...
