Has anybody heard any good covers lately?

I had heard this cover of Kanye West - Stronger on Radio 1's Live Lounge and fell in love with it. Personally I think 30 Seconds to Mars have done it much better than the original. Let me know your opinion, if you have one.

Also if you have heard any brilliant covers yourself, put the links here

Have you got the Radio 1 Live lounge double Cd Kizz? Its fab

No I don't have it yet Cheeky. Soon, I'm hoping to get it I'm a regular Live Lounge listener though and I have heard many, many good covers.... but this is truly the best I have heard so far. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! Had not even heard of the band till they did this

Great cover Shazzy Thanks for the link.

Oooooh, covers........

One of my all time favourite compilations of covers are 2 CD’s worth of (often tongue in cheek) acoustic covers that an Australian radio DJ used to make his guests do live on air (often impromptu), usually something that they would never usually think of covering, e.g. Willie Nelson doing an acoustic cover of Nirvanas ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, although my personal favourites from Volume 2 were Something For Kate covering ‘Genie In A Bottle’ and Gina Jeffries covering ‘Kryptonite’ The albums are called Andrew Denton’s Breakfast Show - Musical Challenge (Volume 1 and 2)

The only track available online from these albums (as far as I know) is Neil Finn (from Crowded House, amongst others) covering Sexual Healing, at http://www.myspace.com/neilfinn

I have loads of favourites covers, one of them being another version of Sexual Healing by Ben Harper (from the Live From Mars album), although there is another live version on YouTube of him playing this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rEJ7zImP9Q (the band introduction is a bit long, skip to around 1min40secs to hear the song itself)


Edit: Ben Harper also did a cover of Strawberry Fields Forever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YuWB1FAN-4



and although it isn't a cover, whilst you're listening to Ben Haprper, this one is good too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryLqfNwSSFE

Some great covers again, I especially liked the Ray Lamontagne one

Heard Paulo Nutini doing Madness - Its must be love today, sounded really reggae, i'd never have thought it was him. Was really good though, will probably be on youtube or the radio one site. (sorry dont have the link)

Heard Lily allen doing the pretenders, dont get me wrong this morning - it was great
