Some balls to take this on, but he nails it. Plus Shola Ama.

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Could list a fair few Machine Head covers, but this is by far my favourite, which - as much as I love Judas Priest - I do prefer from the original



Could easily be a very long list for me, so I'll keep it to five.

If you going to choose Nirvana then this by a mile. One of the best covers ever recorded.

What a splendid evening that was.
I know I have praised her version of Gimme Shelter but this Stones cover is nearly as good:

'Because the Night' Patti Smith.

 

[Machiavelli]

If you going to choose Nirvana then this by a mile. One of the best covers ever recorded.

I'd go along with that. The whole album is stunning, but those last two tracks are something else: gut-wrenching. That Bowie cover isn't far behind though.

On a different matter, Artifacts by Black Flower

Superb, even Paul Simon officially endorsed it http://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-simon-disturbed-sound-of-silence/

The guy has a superb voice.

And a great backing I think it could be my favourite cover ever

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

An Irish cover of a UB40 number?

 

[Super Steve Earle]
