Love the Walker Brothers version.
Scott Walker (Engel) had a fantastic voice.

Not much of a Quo fan but for some reason I really like this

Don't come round this way much these days, but remembered this thread and thought I should just post this.

Billy MacKenzie has the most divine voice and I think this version of the great Sparks song is well worth a thumbs up!

Bob Mould is arguably the most influential musicians behind the whole Nirvana etc megabucks stuff of the early 90s.

In 1989 he was doing cover versions of Richard Thomspon songs.

I bought a used copy of Giant Drag's album a month or so back and have been really enjoying the light and shade in this version of Chris Isaac's song:

 

[Norman Potting]

Work computer blocks the youtube clips so I imagine someone has already suggested the obvious one...but All along the watchtower by Hendrix.

Also prefer led Zepps version of "You Shook Me" and "Babe I'm gonna leave you"

Have seen Dylan live a a few times couple of - Mrs P. Is a fan. On at least one occasion he has informed the audience "......We are now going to play a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song...."

Not spank but this is tremendous.

WWWWOWEEE! I forgot they did that ..... cheers!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

WWWWOWEEE! I forgot they did that ..... cheers!

Ah.....I see

 

[ozzygull]

bit of cheat as they are both sung by the same person but musically very different.

 

[Pevenseagull]

better than Led Zep

 

[pearl]

better than Led Zep

I don't actually like Tool, but that is brilliant
