Bitchin' cover of The Immigrant Song, from the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo* soundtrack:


Also, I suppose this isn't so much a cover as a remix, but it's still awesome:


* The US remake with Daniel Craig in it.

2CELLOS - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
This version is far more positive and upbeat than the Green Day version but that is not a hard goal to achieve ;) .

While I hesitate to call this better than the original, it's certainly very very good. It's a fascinating item for me to have found because my top two vocalists are Scott Walker and Bob Dylan for practically opposite reasons. So having them sing the same song to further emphasize their differences, and what I like about both of them, is a wonderful treat for me. With that being said, they could take the guitar solo out of this and lose nothing.

Also, while we're on the topic this is pretty good, too.



The Walker Brothers were outstanding, glad we agree there, but they could never get their covers to surpass the originals. They did put forth some outstanding efforts, though. This is less of a dramatic change in direction than "Love Minus Zero", it's definitely more keeping in the spirit of the original. I gotta say, though, I don't think Scott's voice suits this song as well as it does others.

It's been almost a year, so I think it's time I necro this thread. Pandora introduced me to Jasmine Thompson and I freaking love her (not that way).

With a devilish twinkle in his eye.

And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Dream Theater actually had part of this cover in their intermission video this past concert tour in America. This group is set up about 20 minutes away from where I live, so I thought it was pretty cool that they got noticed by Dream Theater.

Ok this cover is great. Most people can't cover Hendrix well.

Apologies for the tedious Australians, I couldn't another version of this, but nevertheless an excellent cover by Cosmo Jarvis and his cronies.



In a completely different flavour, here is Louisiana slide guitarist Dege Legg's awesome version of Sabbath's "Supernaut"

I can't believe someone hadn't posted this yet. It's the Arcade Fire doing peter Gabriel's My Body Is a Cage, set to the end of Once Upon A Time in the West. I love this cover.


Oh yes, YES!

I approve of practically anything by Postmodern Jukebox.

Shameless girl band song, coming up.



I'm not gonna argue whether or not it's better than U2's version, I just love it.

Rock bands ironically covering pop songs is boring. How about a rock band unironically covering a pop song?



It's brilliant!

In my first post in this thread, back in the dinosaurs' time, I posted Sarah Jarosz with the Punch Brothers. The Punch Brothers are a bluegrass band fronted by Macarthur Foundation Fellow Chris Thile, and their whole existence is based on making amazing, exploratory music with bluegrass instruments. As such, they do a good amount of covers. Here they are covering "Just What I Needed" by the Cars:



and here is a bizarre, strangely gorgeous cover of the already weird song "Kid A" from Radiohead's Kid A album:
