Fun Boy Three's version of "Our Lips Are Sealed" better than The Go-Gos 'original', though Terry Hall co-wrote it anyway.

26 Jul 16 13:09 Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" versus Nine Inch Nails. Leona Lewis' version (yes, Leona Lewis, and I know that sounds ludicrous but I am serious) is even better than both of them. Give it a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkWo2srE7nY |

Darius Danesh's xfactor audition cover of Hit me baby one more time, originally by Britney Spears must be up there Quite possibly the most embarrassing sentence posted anywhere in the entire history of the internet. Hang your head in shame son. |

Please, please, please… let me get what I want by The Smiths covered by The Dream Academy:
. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdk_44Gmew Ryan Adams cover of Oasis' Wonderwall. You can't beat the originals of either of these songs but very good covers imho. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inlac4FyhD8 |

By:
Ryan Adams made a cover album of Taylor Swift's 1989 and he did a damn fine job. It actually made me go and listen to the original and realise that Ms Swift is a pretty good songwriter.

Personal favourite, Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind by Elvis.
Christmas no. 1 in 1987. |

Must admit that I thought The Last Shadow Puppets cover of Moonage Daydream at Glasto was very good.
Not saying that it was better than Lord Bowie's, mind! https://youtu.be/1ZBYBRknmaI |
|
By:
I really liked Elton John's cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds but I'd have to agree with SlippyBlue here by saying that Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of Dear Prudence is up there with the best (and I've maintained this on previous threads of a similar nature)

How many women have you seen playing a Ukulele?
Kate is always one step ahead |

By:
So incredibly beautiful in every way

By:
The Kate Bush cover of Rocket Man lacks the essential humanity of the original, something is lost in the translation, the sadness, loss?
i don`t think she understood it. |
|
By:
Well I love her take on it, and it was voted thee greatest cover of all time by the Observer readers in 07. So plenty of people also love this Reggaefied version. Kate's performance is also impossibly cute
