Song remakes.

[Ampris]

and I like the rock cover for Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole did a wonderful version of that song.

My mind is totally blanking right now for covered songs I have an opinion of, except for BBMak's version of 'Always Know Where You Are', which just isn't as good as Jhon Rzeznik's. (It's the vocals.) I might have to post here again when my brain is working...

I love the Jonas Brothers cover of "Take On Me" by Ah-Ha.
Ah-Ha's version is high-pitched and annoying :/

And I loved Across the Universe.
I like the Beatles, but I also liked the remakes of the songs.
They're both good if you look at them separately.

OMG HERETIC.

j/k

But seriously, I'm not one to talk. I think that Leonard Nimoy's versions of 'Abraham, Martin, and John,' 'Gentle On My Mind,' 'I Walk the Line,' and a few others better than the original singers. (Probably because I heard these versions first. I'm obviously biased.)

I prefer Damian McGinty's version of Puppy Love instead of Donny Osmond's.

High and Dry by Jamie Cullum(sp?) was remade by Radiohead. Both are really good

 

[PowerMonkey]

im going to get jumped for this, but i liked limp bizkit's version of behind blue eyes more than the who's

 

[Caring = Creepy]

High and Dry by Jamie Cullum(sp?) was remade by Radiohead. Both are really good

radiohead originally made high and dry. jamie cullum covered it.

fiona apple's cover of i want you is breathtaking.

and bjork's version of the boho dance by joni mitchell is wonderful.

Can't believe I didn't think of this before, but Eva Cassidy's 'Fields of Gold' is *gorgeous*, hands down one of my all-time favorite covers because it's just so darned beautiful. And it's especially nice because with a lot of covers, I feel biased towards one or the other because I heard it first, but even though I heard the original Sting version of the song and fell in love with the song long before finding Eva Cassidy's, I love them both about equally, and find each version as moving and emotional as the other. The song is just amazing.
