Lucky Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 A thread inspired by our Top Ten of the same name. Youtube makes this one easy, but feel free to post or discuss in whatever way you wish! I'll start with a three-fer: Love Hurts ~ The Everly Brothers (the 1950's original) Love Hurts ~ Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris ('60's) Love Hurts ~ Nazareth ('70's) Three totally different takes on the same song. The Parsons/Harris version is my favorite, but I love Nazareth's too!
johnny Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Personally I think this song is one of the most important songs of all time, not like "Imagine" or "Stairway To Heaven" but a different way I can't really describe.... Here's is the original version.... Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division And a cover by The Cure.... Love Will Tear Us Apart - The Cure And I already hated this band, but this cover gave me more of a reason.... Love Will Tear Us Apart - Fall Out Boy Tell me what you think....
edna Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 "Oh, Lonesome Me" - The Walkers This one is the best. "Oh, Lonesome Me" - Don Gibson This is the original. And Johnny Cash´s version is quite similar. I couldn´t find Neil Young´s version, which is very different...
berjo Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Which one do you like the best? [color:#B22222]You're No Good - Betty Everett [color:#8A2BE2]You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt [color:#008B8B]You're No Good - Van Halen
bluesboy Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 (Ghost) Riders in the Sky by Stan Jones The original was done by Burl Ives. The Outlaws version. I like the Marty Robbins version the best. Here's a temporary audio file. Just a couple of the many versions of this song.

CanAm Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) I like Linda's version Ditto!! Edited August 29, 2007 by Guest
TheLizard Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I'm the only one here who's tasteless enough to prefer the Van Halen version.
rockstar-101 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Yay, cover songs...my favorite! This is currently my favorite cover; I played it for my friend and she said I ruined a good song for her, haha. Say my Name: Sick Puppies -The cover Say My Name: Destiny's Child - The orginal
Farin Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 no original with this one since it's a traditional, but three very different versions Run on ~ Elvis Run On ~ Moby (based on Bill Landford & The Landfordaires' version) God's Gonna Cut You Down ~ Johnny Cash and the best one is...?
rockstar-101 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 This one if for Johnny: Roxanne - Fall Out Boy Roxanne: The Police I actually like the Fall Out Boy version...well, I like them, so what can I say.

musiclvr Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Stevie Wonder's version of Blowin' In The wind, he give it a new feel, very soulful and almost a gospel edge, but at the same time doesn't take away from what Bob Dylan was writing about, take a listen. Stevie talks for a few mintues at the beginning but keep listening. Blowin' In The Wind Stevie And Sam Cooke also has good version. He jazzed it up some, got that Motown groove goin' on, but still woorth listening to. This is not the best sound quality but you can still hear it. Blowin' In The Wind Sam
Heard It On The XM Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 "Signs": Original by Five Man Electrical Band, cover by Tesla "Remember (Walking In The Sand)": Original by The Shangri-Las, cover by Aerosmith "Knockin' On Heaven's Door": Original by Bob Dylan, cover by Warren Zevon (Eric Clapton and Guns 'N Roses also covered this song, but in Zevon's case it was quite literal; he recorded his version, and the rest of his final album, after learning he had terminal lung cancer) "Whiskey In A Jar": Original by Thin Lizzy, cover by Metallica "You Really Got A Hold On Me": Original by Smokey Robinson, cover by Mike & the Mechanics (their version is slow and spooky, entirely different from the original) I could go on and on, but it's late...
TheLizard Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 "Whiskey In A Jar": Original by Thin Lizzy Not really. "Whiskey In THE Jar" is an Irish folk song and had most likely been recorded by many artists before Thin Lizzy rocked it.
_Laurie_ Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Janis Joplin ~ Summertime Probably the best known version is by her...this song has been covered by tons of people!...but she kicks butt on this tune! Ella Fitzgerald
Farin Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 ^ personally my favourite version is by Morcheeba your mama's rich and your dad is good looking
musiclvr Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Janis Joplin ~ Summertime Probably the best known version is by her...this song has been covered by tons of people!...but she kicks butt on this tune! Ella Fitzgerald that version by ella is great, very moving. This one by Billie Holiday is good, love her voice, the video suck with this though. Billie
_Laurie_ Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Yep, I saw that one with Billie...I couldn't find any good videos either...
musiclvr Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 I know nothing with her in the video...bummer. That song is such a great classic and it is cool how anyone who sings it puts their emotional spin to it and you feel what they are saying with the song. Love it!
_Laurie_ Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 I was YouTubing and came across this....I never knew they did a cover of this song... Pinball Wizard - The New Seekers
CanAm Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) They do an admirable job of covering this, (one of my favourite), Who song. Edited September 9, 2007 by Guest
