Good Cover Versions

I've just found out that Pavement covered Echo And The Bunnymen's The Killing Moon. Two of my favourite bands ever. I'm not sure it's possible to top the original, but this version has its moments:

And to combine these 2 posts, Chvrches have just covered Echo And The Bunnymen's The Killing Moon, Amazon music exclusive.

 

It’s a decent cover, and I’ma huge Chvrches fan, but the original is a good bit better still.

I hadn't heard of the original, but the subject matter is perfect for RATM, who wrap it up in some typically powerful funky scuziness.

 

 

Edit: changed video to a complete version of the song.

This is belated, probably too mainstream to be worth mentioning, and possibly already brought up here in one of them uncommented removed videos, but nonetheless: as someone who generally hates the genre of acoustic covers of electronic music (particularly of songs I like), loves the original song, and is generally ambivalent towards country music, I think Orville Peck's cover of Smalltown Boy is magnificent:

Just heard this the other day, had never heard the original (its bland as fuck mainstream radio friendly hip hop...but...a nice summer vibe!).

 

Talk about covering with your bands style!!!

Absolutely stretching the definition of the word 'good' to breaking point but it's just so wonderfully, fundamentally fucking stupid I had to share it.

A highly polished 1994 production from Pete Heller and Terry Farley. The original was by Julie Stapleton in 1991.

Genuinely impressive cover, the harmonies. Simon and Garfunkal vibes

[Unofficial Who]

I've always enjoyed Frente's stripped back version of New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle.

I can't stop listening to this.
