[Music] 10 years of Cover versions that absolutely SPANK the originals .......... over to you

[Barrow Boy]

Great, I get to post yet another video from Live at Daryl's House, this time it's Billy Gibbons from' ZZ Top' playing with Daryl and his mates. This version of Sharp Dressed Man has a slightly slower tempo than the original but I don't think it suffers for it, and with the others joining in with great guitar solos, I think this version spanks the original.

Slapp Happy cover, spanks the original and The Mazzy Star one (both of which are excellent)

Well written Mr Lennon but Roxy Music did the best version of it.

This thread's been going so long I can't remember if I've posted this before and I can't be arsed to wade through it to find out. Anyway here's probably the greatest version of George Harrison's song 'Isn't It A Pity', played by one of the greatest line ups on stage at, one of the greatest concerts ever, Concert For George at The Royal Albert Hall. Sadly a few of the greats on stage are no longer with us, Billy Preston and Gary Brooker to name just two.

Blimey, is this thread still going.

I only discovered this in the past year. Apparently, it's Whitney Houston's first recording and, of all things, it's a cover of Soft Machine ... with the added bonus of an Archie Shepp sax accompaniment.

This doesn't spank the original because the original is superb as well, but it's still brilliant

Loved the original but can't listen to it now.

Then this comes along.....
