In order not to confuse the Worst Cover Song thread by turning it around, I figured we could use a thread for good (or "good") covers. One of my favorite hidden gem covers is Luna's take on "Sweet Child of Mine": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xemNsR6TzrA Yo La Tengo have two whole albums of (good) covers, but I'm particularly partial to their take on "Sweet Dreams": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcPAxFdR0Js

Hanson covering Radiohead's Optimistic is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upgejnlYgSE

If you can call an almost complete reinterpretation a cover, I'd like to offer up Iron Man by The Bad Plus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNLHOTn81Cw If not, then almost everything involving Mike Massé, particularly performances like the following few: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om1U2GlgpIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLrC7e3vSv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9iVG4kg0sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEpINdKRyrE Yes, he is aware he looks like Louis CK.

Here is Arab Strap making it sound like they wrote the song, or should have done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZH1f3jENu0

The Estonian early music group Rondellus did a great album called Sabbatum: A Medieval Tribute to Black Sabbath. I especially enjoy the rendition of "A National Acrobat" as "Funambulus domesticus." Oh I almost forgot- while we're talking about Sabbath covers, Brownout did an album of latin funk renditions: https://brownout.bandcamp.com/album/brownout-presents-brown-sabbath Juaguocio fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Apr 21, 2015 |

The Stooges, covering Dylan's Ballad of Hollis Brown. They nail the song so hard. It's just a fierce, steady driving beat and these almost hollow guitar sounds. It completely gets the desperate feel of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqZBs8UZzTs Roky Erickson, covering Heroin by the Velvet Underground. He turned this melancholy heroin song into an amazingly fierce rock song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxqh62tYWOg me your dad fucked around with this message at 22:41 on May 2, 2015 |

Sepultura doing Exodus' "Pirahna" justice. it's way faster and more abrasive, and kicks so much more rear end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAuMYBybd3A
