AskSteem: What is your favorite cover of a song?

in #cover5 years ago

After a really nice turnaround on the engagement in my previous post about your favorite song (found a lot of new great songs through it) I figured it's time to get into cover songs.

At one point I was browsing through many youtube channels looking for covers of songs I really liked and often times they brought back some of the magic that the song had when you first started listening to it, they were basically reviving it and making it enjoyable again after I had listened to them to death.

Recently I stumbled upon this cover of a great song from one of my favorite bands Arctic Monkeys, but in case you haven't heard the original I'll post that one first, then the acoustic cover of it from the same band and then the cover that I felt changed it quite a bit and let me enjoy it once more.

Acoustic Cover:

Dua Lipa Cover:

Sort:  

I've got two for you if it is alright. There are actually a lot I enjoy, but these two stick out to me. Both covered by female artists:

Original was by Bob Dylan


Original was by Kid Cudi

The Bad Volves' cover of Zombie is better than the original, in my opinion:

Here's the original by Cranberries:

Metallica - Sabbra Caddabra or maybe Astronomy. Either one.
Original of first is Black Sabbath and second is Blue Öyster Cult I think 😅

Great covers indeed! :)

I think this is very talented and done with the soul and with his new contribution to this legendary song.

Incredible voice! <3

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Orion (Studio Version). Original: Metallica - Orion.
It's probably not my favorite but I like it very much! It's a really cool version of the song IMO.

Original (very good):

Cover (even better, especially the video):

I remember that disturbed cover, was pretty sweet!

Right tune this one! Decent cover too.


Was going to link to @lillywilton for my tune, but it seems she's been on a mass delete :( Come back Lilly!!!!!!!

'Goodnight, my love, goodnight'

Wonder what has happened there. :(

I had heard of arctic monkeys but never actually listened to any of their songs before. This song is pretty dope tho.

Although not my favourite song, I love the song "Don't cry" by Guns n Roses.
Original:

And I absolutely love this cover. I am a huge fan of raw voice and I don't like if a song is edited heavily. She is a great singer and deserves way more recognition. Its a tragedy she doesn't upload very often.
