Was the AM radio version?

Best cover of "Don't Fear the Reaper" ever. Yes, the singer took some artistic liberties with the melody and lyrics, but that's just part of the brilliance of the artistry.

This one's posted about every two weeks somewhere in The Coffee House.

Maybe not the greatest cover version of all time, but the blonde's wiggles wobble my wibble.

I am a Haley fan myself. Not to discount the sure movements of the blonde...

Neither (I don't care for "Act Naturally")

Both - I like both "Got TO Get You Into My Life" for different reasons.

Never heard/saw this one!! Nice. Vocals were superb.

I always loved Coal Chamber's version of Shock the Monkey with the heaviness adding to dynamics ...Ozzy was a minor bonus.

Bapu reminded me of The Who doing Summertime Blues, and since it's the end of the 1st full day of summer? I'm gonna rap it up with the 2nd best cover of that song?

Really? ?  Well, I guess I'll just have to watch it again but with the sound on this time!  ?

"Blue Cheer".  ? There's a name you don't hear much of nowadays.

I like 'em both, for different reasons.

Original: Respect – Otis Redding

 

Cover: Respect – Aretha Franklin

I bought that album the day it came out.

Depending on how much of a Beatles fan you are, you might say this should be in the Hall of Shame instead.

I really dug the Eurythmics and the original song and whilst I am not a big fan of Marylin Manson I think this cover was much more suited to the lyrics. I'm sure some of you will think this belongs in the "other" thread though . . .
