[Music] Which track would you like to hear covered by which particular artist?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Here is my starter. I would love to hear this, covered by the Fu Fighters.



Over to you.

Good question - I will have to give it some thought. Most songs which are written by the person that plays them are the definitive version, because that is the emotion that went into the song. The 'Covers that smash the originals' (or whatever it was called) gives a few examples (and many which are certainly not!)

My version of Leonard Cohen's 'First We Take Manhattan' is, IMHO, pretty damn good, but unfortunately(?) not available on the interweb thingy!

Funny that Leonard Cohen was mentioned early.

In my odd head I have him 'singing' all manner of tunes.

The Cash version of NIN’s Hurt is a good example of a cover which has more emotion than the original.

I'd like to hear 'Everybody's Taking' by Harry Nilsson played by Mogwai.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'd like to hear Beth Gibbons, Kristin Hersh, Fiona Apple or Laibach sing 'No Easy Way Down'

There's a few I'd like to have covered one or two of mine too!

Aqua's Barbie Girl by System of a Down might be quite good.

 

[DJ NOBO]

I’d like to hear Oasis cover Stevie Wonder’s Uptight……..oh, it already happened on Step Out. They forgot to credit Stevie Wonder though.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The Cash version of NIN’s Hurt is a good example of a cover which has more emotion than the original.

And yet is not as good (sorry, big Reznor fan here).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd like to cee this covered by Tom Waits.



and also (would be a slowed vocal remix) by Blvck Ceiling.

 

[boik]

I've always wanted to hear the Weddiing Present cover "Push" by the Cure. I've suggested it, but they've not picked up on it yet.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Following my reference on the Get Carter thread I’d like to hear Taylor Swift cover Never Fight a Man with a Perm
