Almost all of Nouvelle Vague's tracks

But this is one of my favs

[Gnits]

Rather like this, change of tempo, sound, etc.



Plus people can rage about the capo, so something for every pistonhead!

Not sure this is much different to "Covers that are better than the original", but



The Stranglers, Walk on by



Saxon, Ride like the wind

[Den Den]

How about a cover of a track that the original artists never even released?

Men neither, but I do always enjoy a good cover that may be equal in a different way, rather than better

For an absolute goldmine of covers I always turn to CMT crossroads, where a famous country actually pairs with a famous rock act and they didn't each others songs.

Tonight I've been watching Pat Benatar Vs Martina McBride. Martina has an amazing voice and great vocal power, but Pat absolutely blows her away by comparison here. Note also the starstruck awe of having one of your childhood heroes nailing your song :biggrin:

I have two that I really like
