GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS

[nyadrn]

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?

Night. Never knew it was a cover. So

much prefer the Three Dog night version!

Speaking of great Three Dog Night covers, how about:"Eli's Coming",

their cover of Laura Nyro's great song. Absolutely great version. 

Vocals on that cut jump off the record.

The Monkees' cover of Paul Revere and the Raiders' "Kicks," because Micky puts a twist of irony into the singing

Miley Cyrus did a really nice cover of " Wish You Were Here ".

Kate Bush's cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man"--to a reggae beat, with ukelele and concertina.

Cover of Fleetwood Mac - The Chain by Harry Styles

https://youtu.be/eM_FR7I2Ttw

And here he is performing with Fleetwood Mac. Notice the crowd reaction when they hear the opening riff and realize it really is Mac. The video was shot by a fan, so not the best quality, but it's the only one I could find.

You mean Stevie, Chris, and Lindsay carried him on that tune. Harry has a tendency to ding flat.
More looks than talent.

[MaVolta]

Granted, Harry isn’t a rock singer. He actually reminds me more of Harry Connick Jr. However, I’m encouraged to see youngsters going for the rock classics that are at least two generations before their time. Also noticed a few videos of Harry appearing with Stevie, so he must have some rapport with the band. What can be better than a kid getting to perform with rock royalty.
