What's Your Favorite Cover song of All Time

[MDP]

I'll start. Mine is a Bob Dylan song that was immortalized by Jimi Hendrix.

"All Along The Watchtower"

 

[BruceLet]

Mark….That has aways been at the top of my list also, followed closely by the Jefferson Airplane cover of "Wooden Ships".

 

[Mike]

Diana Krall from her Live In Paris Album doing Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You".

 

[slowgeezr]

k.d. Lang did a killer cover of Joni Mitchell's, "Help Me". John Mayer did a great job with JJ Cale's, "Magnolia", as did Chris Smither.

Diana Krall from her Live In Paris Album doing Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You".

I like Jewels' version too. She also does a great "If Six Were Nine".

I've always liked Sonic Youth covering "Superstar" by the Carpenters.

Superstar is an amazing song, but written by Leon Russell.

Thanks for the correction. Still a cover though... eace:

Sinnaed O'Connor…"All Apologies"

 

[MusicDirector]

There are many for me. I'll just name three for now.

Heart doing any Led Zep song for starters. (Even Jimmy Paige has said he loves every heart version zep song they ever did).






George Winston doing Spanish Caravan by The Doors


The Fifth Dimension doing Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream and Ticket To Ride by The Beatles.

Great choice, Bruce! Another cover I love from Sinead:

Re: Holly Cole and Carmen Gomes

I have many but of more recent origin I find the Carmen Gomes cover of Springsteens ''I'm on fire'' stunningly beautiful and the SQ is also outstanding.
Holly Cole's version of Tom Waits ''Temptation'' from 20 years ago is another favorite.
