GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS

For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

 

What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

    It was really fine until the Judas Priest version of the chorus.

    OK, not great. Lacks finesse.

    I was listening to Covers on Spotify this evening and I thought to myself, "Covers ... That'd be a good topic for the RnR forum!" But before I re-invethed the wheel, I searched and saw that the topic had already been created. It just isn't as active as some of the other ones, I guess. Anyway, here's a link to a playlist on Spotify of 70 songs (63 of them awesome, IMHO!) that you may enjoy too. Rock Covers from Spotify (CLICK THE BLUE) Playlist

     

    Also, you don't need to be a member, you can listen for free. I do have a paid subscription though and that allows me to listen commercial free. I also have $10 less per month because of it but to me, it's worth it. 😊 If you're not familiar with Spotify, you might be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find there. Music, podcasts, even audiobooks. Have a look!

    Great list of songs, but I don't know many of the artists. I'll give it a listen sometime. Thanks!

    Love of My Life  -  Queen cover by Scorpions

    Beautiful tribute to Queen. Just Klaus and the pianist. Simple. Elegant. Classic.

    Bonnie Raitt's version of Jackson Browne's "Opening Farewell"

    If this one doesn't put tears in your eyes, nothing will.
