Calhole 153 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm gonna have to go with The Baseballs they do covers of Pop songs and make them amazing and hilarious at the same time. Jimi Hendrix covering Bob Dylan is a definite classic as well. and then any cover Johnny Cash did. An absolute legend. Link to post Share on other sites

fgcarva1 12 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Glad someone bumped this topic. I see a lot of covers I enjoy around here so instead of posting them again here's Rise Against's cover of Bob Dylan's Ballad of Hollis Brown. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GreatGig 534 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 There are so many good covers I know of that I'm not sure where I should begin. I'll post this one for now and add more when/if I remember to do so. I love Pink Floyd with an immense passion and they are by far the greatest influence in my life but this cover can't even be compared to the original. They are both so unique and have such an individual feeling that, in essence, they are no longer the same song at all. I adore both versions hugely and respect the covering artists for treating the song so delicately. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites
