Song Covers

[Chalryn]

I'm sure most of you know what I mean by a "cover," but in case anyone doesn't: when a band or artist performs a song originally created by another. Sometimes, they put their own spin on it, and sometimes they stay as true to the original as they can. Either way, though, the end results can be pretty interesting. Share some of your favorites here. (Provide a link to the original as well, if you can.)



I've got a handful that I dig, but for now, here's the first one off the top of my head.



(Original: "Crazy" - Seal)

I think I first discovered this song through Machine Head but I like The Police version a tad bit more. It's one of my Favorite songs to play on Rocksmith


I'll just post this other one here. I don't like this cover nor do I hate it. Just think it needs to be known throughout the world.

oh, that's an interesting area. also the cover is really only as good as the band as well.

I see your metal Britney Spears cover and raise you two (metalcore and... whatever ASL is considered).


(Original: "...Baby One More Time" - Britney Spears)


(Original: "Toxic" - Britney Spears)
