Favorite Cover Songs

Post Modern Jukebox has been mentioned here already, but I particularly like this one:

It also helps that the singer Haley Reinhart is a bit on the pretty side. She can sing too! Don't mind that this song was made for an Extra Gum commercial...

That Puddle's Pity Party clown is kinda creepy to look at, but that guy can sign.

That Puddle's Pity Party clown is kinda creepy to look at, but that guy can sign.

Most definitely. He's got a YouTube channel, but there's really only 2 or three songs that I like. The rest are just poor choices on his part.

I’d like to thank this thread for the 1.5 hour long YouTube black hole that I just went down.

I guess I will throw a few on the pile. Metallica has already been mentioned a few times, but their cover of Blue Oyster Cult's Astronomy is just way better than the original.

Tool covering Led Zeppelin - No Quarter. I can listen to this on repeat all day.

Black Chamber covering the Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Weird new age jazz stuff is strangely addictive especially when coupled with some flatland BMX riding.

And finally, I've been listening to a lot of this guy, Jamie Dupuis. He plays the harp guitar (when a daddy guitar and a mommy harp love each other very much) and does a whole bunch of covers of classic songs. It's good stuff to chill out to.

That is a good one. They did a great War Pigs as well.

I've always liked this cover by The Sundays

I have too many but here are a few. The nostalgia is getting out of control lol

New Found Glory - Honestly that whole album seriously rocks and it's all covers from movies.

Yellowcard (from Punk Goes Pop)

MxPx

@Noahfecks hit the nail on the head with Me First. I loved their amazing collaboration between different bands and they were a riot to see live. Just a super fun band.

I like Reel Big Fish's cover of Take On Me.

I was reminded of this one by the Vandals while watching the new Bohemian Rhapsody movie.

I also remembered that Streetlight Manifesto has a whole cover album that is pretty good. Here are a few of my favorites off that.

 

[N-Smooth]

RBF’s version is amazing for sure.

I haven’t thought about the Vandals for the longest time. Classic! They were also ridiculously entertaining live- “I have a date” was always a fun one.

Love Streetlight Manifesto

[Tonkaman]

[TRD270]
