jester1470 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Sinead O'Connor cover of princes 'Nothing Compares to You'GeniusI wasn't sure it is a cover in the normal sense, did Prince ever record it or did he just write it for someone else, a bit like 'Manic Monday' ?CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Faith no More V Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us (Not strictly a cover, but truly ace!)Rob Zombie - Blitzkreig Bop (Ramones) (Sounds nowt like original, but is amazing)Dangerfields - R.A.M.O.N.E.S. (Mothorhead) or AstroZombies (Misfits) (A zillion times faster than the originals - just the way we like it)Everclear - Sin City (AC/DC) (By rights you shouldnae touch Bon's songs, but I think this is really rockin'!)Karloff - Jezabel (so ancient I canne mind) (Ant should give the finger more often rather than doing the "fist in the air thing" at the drum break, don't you think?) Loads and loads more - I could talk about this all day - I love cover versions, I cannae remember all the ones I have off the top of my head!!

He also recorded a live version himself for his greatest hits package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodast Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Some psychy type band covered that song that goes "My baby, she wrote me a letter" which is pretty good.Tomorrow's cover of Strawberry Fields Forever is cool too although they didn't change it much.
