This is where you can post songs and their cover versions that you like or just think are interesting. Here are three of the better original/cover pairings that I'm aware of (according to my own taste, of course). Feel free to post things from any genre, not just the kind of music I'm posting.

"Dear Prudence" by the Beatles:

I have a big list, but I don't feel like posting it right now. That being said, expect a lot of Metal, and a few non-metal notable covers.

IF you like Me First and the GImmie Gimmies ( which I also do) you'll love the punk rock cover of the love ballad hit by Faith Hill "Breathe" as done by Smartbomb.

There have been many mindbending covers of Nirvanna's "Smells Like Teenspirit".

My favorites include: a nineties' techno version (actually several mixes) by Abigail ( aka Abigail Van Ziga), a big band jazz version by Paul Anka, and the spoof by Wierd Al Yankovic.

For some reason that last post reminded me of this band, which I had completely forgotten about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWO7Om17v0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeaO0ZidQgc

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so I was going to try to embed those videos above since there are only two of them, but when I posted them it was only showing this:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWO7Om17v0[/youtube]

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeaO0ZidQgc[/youtube]

I followed the directions on this thread about embedding YouTube videos:

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp909152.html#909152

and it still didn't work. Does this function just go down sometimes? Any suggestions?

Jimmy Cliff covering The Clash

Excellent... and unfortunate that this song is still so relevant 30 years later.
