Well we had a thread a while back about crap covers, but this one is about artists who have made a good fist or put their own spin on the original.

I Googled Rag'n'Bone Man - Human, and came up with this, it's quite good actually. Not got a clue where he's from, but he's called Paddyman

Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence..

On a slightly different note it always makes when my kids are enjoying some new tune and I say yeah, that's a cover version/remake of some really old song and they are all...whaaaat!

It's a Marmite cover though, I kinda like it as I'm a Rock & Blues man, but others think it was destroyed by them.

Have you got any good cover suggestions?

"Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails Hurt.

His interpretation of Trent Reznor's lyrics at least equals the original and deals with a subject matter close to my heart..."

I prefer the cash version to the NIN one. Very raw and emotional

Away with the faeries

"Sinead O’Connor. Nothing compares 2 U"

And then have a listen to Chris Cornell's version

That man was something else. He's also done quite a few other covers but that one is my favourite.

A new one I heard just the other day was great. A group called Widowspeak covering Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet.

Not massively different, but nicely done.

The Watson Twins version of the Cure's Just Like Heaven is beautiful. I love the original but I think this cover just edges it for me.

"Live and Let Die - GnR

Anything by G'n'R is good in my book

Yes, their version of Sympathy for the Devil is good as well!"

Their best cover was Knocking on heaven’s door

DMA's version of Believe by Cher is one of my favourite songs...they also do a cracking version of Beautiful Stranger.
