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

[Silverhatch]

The Cure do Andrew Gold’s Never Let Her Slip Away

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd like to see Peter Hammill do this (with Hugh Banton's organ taking the guitar part).
Or possibly 'O, Children' (Tobi would sing it an octave down - delicious).

 

[Nitram]

Killers - Sympathy for the Devil. I’d love to see Brandon Flowers theatric take on that. Would have to have a video release too.

I dreamt one night that Frank Sinatra did this in a Las Vegas nightclub.

His vocal surpassed Morrison's by some way.

Great thread .... I need to think about it

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

It is indeed, one of the examples that stands out as a superb cover version - there are, I'll admit, a few! After hearing the Johnny Cash singing it, I looked up the Nine Inch Nails version and gave it a listen. Awful!
Rolf Harris' version of Stairway to Heaven, on the other hand..........................
(a prime example of how bad a cover version can be)

I’m familiar with both versions but have to say Cash’s resonates more with me. It’s fantastic.
