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.

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

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

Ben Harper's cover of The drugs don't work~ The Verve

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di8aCdXxLEs

Another fave is Ray Lamontagne cover of Crazy ~ Gnarls Barkley

I love good covers!

Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
has to be the best cover version ever.
Try listening to that without crying!

Cat Power - The Covers Record
and
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session

are my favourite two covers allbums

Also worthy of a mention, Jose Gonzalez doing Kylie's Hand On Your Heart

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)

I've looked for ages but can't find link anywhere

Like everyone else I have Radio 1 Live great Album but latest and bravest cover was:


Stereophonics - I believe in miracles (Hot Chocolate)

(If you find it please send to me)
