Too knackered now,will listen tomorrow.

You can't beat a bit of the Shatner covering Pulp,Bowie or Elton.

Then there's China Drum's amazing pop punk version of Wuthering Heights.

Erm..jonny cash doing Nine inch nails...

Oh.fuck me.camille o Sullivan.fantastic covers of jaques brek,Tom waits,bowie and hwrvxovwr of Ship Song by Nick Cave gives me goosebumps every time.little minx live to boot as well.

Shit.written an essay.again.

It's good, but a bit too close to the original?

How about The Stranglers - Walk On By

The minute I saw the title of the thread this song came to mind, not a big fan of cover songs.

Disturbed not only did the song justice, but turned it into something totally different.

Ghostlines cover of Iron Maidens Brave New World gets me every time. How they've really slowed and stripped it down and given it an almost haunting edge to it is brilliant!

As a big Simon and Garfunkel fan, I thought I would slip this in the YouTube search as I had never heard of Disturbed. Tbh as soon as I saw the guy I knew they were more a heavy metal band and I thought I would be clicking off within a few seconds but I have to say, that version was amazing. It made one or 2 hairs stand up on the back of my neck. It was like he wrote the lyrics himself and the slight musical change to it was also a great twist.

Thanks for the recommendation.....will now be singing this to myself all day!

They have covered quite a few songs. Land of confusion i didnt know was a cover tbh

Shout by tears for fears they have done too. I know theres more but not awake now. They are a metal band but not the heavy screaming type....unless you listen to the sickness

Off Vapour Transmission the only song I've really heard is Fiction (Dreams In Digital). Their most recent stuff, like Wide Awake & Dead and Grime Of The Century - they bought out a new album last year too but I dunno what it's called - sounds more like VT.
