Another female cover of Radiohead's Creep, in a different style. I dig this one a lot for some reason. I think this girl was on American Idol, based on some of the other Youtube vids that popped up.

I don't know if it's better than the original or even better than other covers of the song, but she makes me melt. And it is a decent cover . . .

As much as I love the Toadies and appreciate your posting for the opportunity to hear this, I'm sticking with the new wave/disco sheen of the original. Heart of Glass's charm is how catchy it is and Debbie Harry's smoky (almost) falsetto, and this slowed-down version with a deeper, masculine voice takes some of the swing out of it.

I first posted this in the metal thread, but I think it deserves a cross post here.

That Van Morrison cover is incredible. I also love the Don't Look Back cover he did of the John Lee Hooker song.

It pales to both, but I still always liked this cover of watchtower by Michael hedges, the new age madman. fun to see live.
And for me, it's all about the keyboard on Thems version of baby blue...love it.

I can't say this is better than the original, but this is a fantastic cover:
The Main Squeeze - "Have A Cigar"
If nothing else, listen to the guitar solo from the 3:30 mark onwards.

I preferred Manfred Mann's Earth Band's rendition of Blinded By the Light more than Bruce Sprinsteen's original rendition. Sorry if this was already mentioned, didn't feel like wading through 13 pages.
whoops - so it as discussed back on page 10. So be it, but I stand by assessment.

The new live record from all-star bluegrass cover band Earls of Leicester (Live at the CMA) is entirely Flatt & Scruggs songs from 1954-1965 (when their band had a particular make up). I grew up listening to Flatt & Scruggs as my dad was a banjo player, and I can say the Earls honestly improve most of these songs just out of sheer awesome individual talent. Most people know Jerry Douglas, but the entire band is comprised of bluegrass legends - perhaps lesser-known among non-bluegrass fans. Their banjo player Charlie Cushman is one of my favorite musicians alive. They are touring now - don't miss it if you like bluegrass music as they are the best thing going right now.

Is it wrong for me to miss the parts, especially at the beginning, where they slide the music from side to side; essentially moving in stereo?

Without even clicking on it, that's a tall order.
I know you love you some Ben Folds. But that song? By the Cure? Whoo baby. I'm going down this rabbit hole.

Oh, interesting. What a great songwriter Dylan must have been to inspired such covers, and I say that without hearing DMB or U2 and believe you guys. I love the song! I will have to check that out.
