sweet_contradiction Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Covers which you think are almost as good as the original :) I like the following three: 1. Lily Allen's cover of Keane's 'everybody's changing' ( I don't particularly like lily's music, but I liked this version of Keane's song) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gheYf9kvBRw]YouTube - Lily Allen - Everybody's Changing[/ame] 2. Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwwaS5B_vY]YouTube - Jeff Buckely-Hallelujah[/ame] 3. A cover of Muse 'Map of the problematique' [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhbU6Yi5MTw]YouTube - Map Of The Problematique (Cover)[/ame] What are yours?

Pseudonym Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" was the greatest cover song ever. He took that song and made it a legend. Welcome to the forum. I like your user-name because I'm in a band called Contradiction!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cirrus Minor Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Of course there's Hallelujah, and then : Placebo's cover of Bigmouth Strikes Again is quite good, i like it a lot. Muse's Feeling Good is OK, as well as Can't Take My Eyes Of You The Mars Volta's Things Behind The Sun and Memories kick ass. And I'm not very fond of Muse's House Of The Rising Sun : i think it sounds a little too brutal, given the mood of the lyrics, plus he chose to sing The Animals' lyrics, when everybody knows Dylan's ones are a billion times better.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnGESlRNXk]YouTube - Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual[/ame] Everyone said it sucked though. Maybe I just like the song and the band too much to be able to agree even if it was true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramore doing Love's not a competition. Coldplay's billie jean too. So many more, But they're my top ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
