I choose the original Rock Blues version easily
reply
As much as I love Carlos and he does a good version, the Fleetwood Mac original is just too awesome. The Mac all the way.

Ooo this is a really tough one

Been waiting all week for this: The new season of *The Bear has an amazing cover of "Save it for Later" by Eddie Vedder.
reply
Covers really good, might just take the W on this for me. Changes the way the song comes across in a really emotive way.
reply
Nice cover, a coworker has been trying to get me to check out that show
reply
I really like it, though it can be emotionally painful to see what some of the characters go through (it's billed as a comedy, but it's much closer to drama, imho).
reply
Who did it better?

Hard one to decide. Diana completely reworks this and there's only a few resemblances left of the original. I'm going to have to go original, one of those "grown up" Beatles tracks I really like.
reply
Ooooo I really like Diana's version here. The song sounds really.raw here and her voice.is just so smokey it sounds great.
reply
My dad is a fan of hers. I was looking for a good cover of In My Life and and happened upon hers.
reply
I tend to agree here

Corey all the way for me, fantastic version with the perfect amount of emotional vocals. There's nowt wrong with Chris's original, it's still a great track, but Chris nails it.
reply
Chris wrote this song Corey made it popular for me
reply
It's Corey Taylor for me. The dudes vocals are incredible. I absolutely love his style and technique.
reply
Sounds like Corey really feels what he's singing about
reply
Yeah, you can really tell, have you heard snuff? That song makes me cry almost every time. https://youtu.be/QBK6xymmKHM?si=iny-2ilSkNWkUhvn
reply
For sure. This acoustic session is treasure, all the sins are amazing. I discovered this session with Tired song
reply
Tired is another one that just always manages to punch me right in the gut.
reply
This is always a popular one around here
reply
Who did it better??
reply
The Stones for me on this one. The Concretes are just way too mellow.
reply
I just dozed off to the cover

🤣

As incredible as Annie Lennox is. Manson kinda just made this track his. My bias might be that I got to see Manson live and it was such an incredible show.
reply
Manson blew life in this track while Annie made a great track for night clubs, imo
reply
Definitely agree with that statement, very different venues in mind for these tracks.
reply
Somebody get this man some sats for some eyebrows

Sorry Dave, it's always going to be Kurt for me.
Two giants of the industry. RIP both of them 🫡
reply
I can't even argue here. With Kurt this track became superduper popular
reply
Yeah, I'll go with the nirvana version.
reply
Nirvana all day
reply
I always love this thread, I've dug.out the old "punk goes pop" archives for this.
The Cover
I think you already know I'm nodding towards UABB for this, I do love adding metal to pretty much anything.
reply
I've got to agree with you, take a pop, rap, whatever song and turn it metal and you've got my vote. The original isn't my cup of tea anyway.
reply
Yea I go cover here too, what a weird thing to cover though haha
reply
Original

David Dundas - Jeans On

Cover

Keith Urban - Jeans On

The original from '77 was only a advertising jingle for Brutus jeans in the UK and it became so popular that it was then made in to a full length track.
For me it's Keith all the way
reply
Wait is this a true story?
reply
It's all true It was first featured as a television advertising jingle for Brutus Jeans. The popularity of the commercial eventually led to the recording of "Jeans On" as a full-length song. They adjusted the lyrics to replace "Brutus jeans" with "old blue jeans" and titled the song "Jeans On". It got to number 3 in the UK charts and a No. 1 in Germany.

The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin’

Thunder – Gimme Some Lovin’

It wouldn't be a covers thread without my fave band. So you know exactly which one I'm going to go for, but it's a tough choice, both cracking tracks.
Thunder all the way for me 🌩️
reply
Thunder!

Skin - Unbelievable

EMF - Unbelievable

I'll love it when a rock band takes a pop song and gives it some meat and gravy. Skin for me
reply
