Cover Versions - OT 13:42 - Oct 14 with 89742 viewsCroydonCaptJack

Well, these music threads are much less depressing than the QPR ones at the moments so here is a link to an interesting article from the BBC site. A few surprises there but more importantly what is your best cover version.

For me it is Respect by Adeva

Stranglers' Walk On By is an excellent shout but both Vince Taylor and The Clash's version of this are on the money...

Or a Soft Cell cover of someone else.



I could be wrong, but you say that as if you didn't know their version of Tainted Love is itself a cover version:

I really like that Nazareth cover that I put on the other day - Morning Dew - but this is probably the best known cover that they've done and even my daughter likes it

I'm no fan of Queen and certainly not this song, but this video is just irreverent enough, and amusing.

The original of this is a bit irritating, with its country whoops, but this just about epitomises the Byrds.
Double plus good...

Some might be surprised this one is a cover



The Mondays cover of Congos 'Tokoloshe Man' should also be on the list, I think its better than Step On.

I love Steve Hillages version of the Beatles 'Its All Too much' is better than the original.

But for albums, look up Nouvelle Vague who have released about 3 albums with nothing but covers by bands like Joy Division , Josef K ,Wire ,XTC, Echo & the Bunnymen, BuzZcocks, the Smiths, Psychedelic Furs,Depeche Mode, the Clash, the Undertones,Fun Boy Three,A Certain Ratio,New Order,U2,Orchestral Manouvres In The Dark,Dead Kennedys,Siouxsie & The Banshees,Dexys, the Saints and a killer version of the Stranglers 'Get A Grip On Yourself'.

No, it was just because someone posted up another version of it. I did know that but it is a good point mate.

I only found out this was a cover when Debbie and Chris played the original on their fairly recent 6 Music show.

I've posted this cover picture rather than the video because...

well, work it out yourselves.

Yes Nouvelle Vague are great. Loved their New Order covers. Peacefrog is a great label as well.
