matt b Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I've been partial to Belá Fleck's version of Help on the Way from the new Day of the Dead album. In addition to Belá, it's got Edgar Meyer on upright bass and Zakir Hussain (!!!!!) on tabla, so you know it's good. Unfortunately, there's not a version on youtube I could find, but I believe it's on spotify. I've been loving White Denim's version of Steely Dan's Peg: Robert Plant and Allison Krause's version of Tom Waits' Trampled Rose is also a favorite. It's amazing how the song seems to be about something completely different without actually changing a single lyric. Not sure if any of these are BEST EVAR!!!!11 but they're really good and have been on my mind lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Love the Dio and the Steely Dan cover thus far. And that Social Distortion cover of Johnny Cash is a classic. Good stuff, peeples. Keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Jamie N Commons - Wish You Were Here Coldplay- Fight for your Right (there's something unfathomably compelling about this) 4 hours ago, matt b said: Not sure if any of these are BEST EVAR!!!!11 but they're really good and have been on my mind lately. I mean, if we're talking objectively the BEST EVAR!!! then the answer is Johnny Cash's Hurt (with honourable mentions to Joan Jett's I Love Rock 'n' Roll and Jay-Z's 99 Problems if you count that), but if we all just posted that the topic would be boring.

Myshkin Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 David Bowie's cover of Pink Floyd's See Emily Play Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah Patti Smith's cover of Them's Gloria (Though this one's so different from the original that I don't know that it can really be called a cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm one of the few people on Earth who actually seemed to like Scissor Sisters' cover of Comfortably Numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
