Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - Can't Take My Eyes Off You (original)
Muse - Can't Take My Eyes Off You (cover)

Just amazing sweet bliss, both The Four Seasons's version and Muse's version.

Are you 13 and emo?

Are you aware of the meaning of "jk"? Or is your taste so drastically different from mine that you felt the need to call me 13 and emo over... Muse?

as a side note can't stand it when people call the song Space Oddity Major Tom. Makes it a bitch when searching

I like the hard to find '94 Chillout mix.

Don't like it "Better" but "different" I dig some of this guy's covers. Here he has an interesting take of The Beatles; Help

I enjoyed Trent Reznor's cover of I'm Afraid of Americans - a song performed by David Bowie, produced by Trent Reznor

Original Song: Bob Seger - Turn the Page

Cover Song: Metallica - Turn the Page (NSFW)

While I like BFMV, I can't stand their Metallica covers b/c the singing sucks. Of course the guitars are great but it's not a good Metallica cover unless the singing is good IMO.

Tesla - Signs

Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy, original by Sting

Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds (easily better than Elvis IMO)

OMG, thats horrible. I hope you were just kidding. No one does that song better than Elvis.

I'm NOT an Elvis fan.

:thumbsup: Roland Gift's vocal is brilliant.

I also never "got" Elvis; horribly overrated.

no...just no

Yeah, seriously? How can you say that cover is better?

 

[CallMeJoe]

The Bangles (of all the bands...) found the guitar rock song hidden within Simon & Garfunkel's Hazy Shade of Winter.

Marshall Chapman's cover of Turn the Page is superior to Metallica's, though I don't think either of them surpasses Bob Seger's original.

If someone writes a song for another performer then later records the song himself, which one is the cover? In this case, I'm thinking of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and China Girl...

Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole - Over The Rainbow

No I don't think so. That cover song was on their album 2 years before the Miami Vice movie. They didn't make the song for the movie, somebody just decided to use the song for the movie.
