[her209]

Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen (original)
Rufus Wainwright (cover)

 

[Kadarin]

Seal - Crazy
Alanis Morissette - Crazy (crappy live version there) slightly more downtempo version, pretty cool

 

[Kadarin]

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
Erasure - Solsbury Hill (weird 80s-style gaypop version) Here's a pretty good live version of it

 

[Kadarin]

U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name
Pet Shop Boys - Where the Streets Have No Name (another weird 80s gaypop version)

 

[Kadarin]

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

 

[pwnagesarus]

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (Original)
Nelly Furtado - Crazy (Cover)

Love the original but IMO it's even better when it's mellow.

 

[Analog]

All Along the Watchtower

Original - Bob Dylan

Cover - Jimi Hendrix

 

[daniel1113]

What an original question... at least for the week. Let me pull out the standard answer: Johnny Cash - Hurt

 

[ATLien247]

Running Up That Hill

Original - Kate Bush

Cover - Placebo

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

I like both versions of all of these songs, but for different reasons.

Seal- Kiss From a Rose
Cover-Northern Kings- Kiss From a Rose

Cutting Crew- I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight
Cover- Northern Kings- I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight

Phil Collins- In the Air Tonight
Cover- Northern Kings- In the Air Tonight

Linkin Park- Crawling
Cover- Angelzoom- Crawling

Can't find the original
Cover- Apocalyptica (Feat Adam Gontier)- I Don't Care

Just a random good song Apocalyptica- Faraway Vol 2

Oh, and FWIW Apocalyptica>Metalica for the actual music (can't compare the lyrics since Apocalyptica doesn't sing them).

 

[nakedfrog]

I can only listen to four cellos for so long, not enough variation of sound to keep it interesting for long periods.

 

[Shawn]

Cake - I Will Survive >>>>>> Gloria Gaynor - I will survive.

 

[KeithTalent]

I posted some of mine in the nearly identical thread we had last month.

Taj Mahal covering The Monkees- Take a Giant Step

[Shadow Conception]

Michael Jackson - Beat It (original)
Fall Out Boy - Beat It (cover)

jk

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.
