This is difficult for me. I collect covers. Like I have far too many versions of Sweet Child of Mine, and a whole chorus of Hallelujahs.

There's so many ways of doing covers, to the point that I am miffed that most of them are just "pop-punk" versions of pop songs or starlets doing slowed down, stripped down versions of pop songs.

There are some obvious classic covers, like



Which has obliterated the original from the public consciousness (I still prefer the Zutons version)

Or



Which takes that song and does things to it.

I also like tracks where an original artist does something different with it:

For example - JDB and John Cale playing "Ready For Drowning" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNFVnxhRWd4

(You can also have him playing Out of Time with Jools Hollands R&B Orchestra - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDzoFFxQy5E, playing Bright Eyes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6amm_PUjJ_k) (Okay, this has brought me KT Tunstall and JDB playing Christmas In New York - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QY3Ne_xRdA !!!)

Not a cover exactly, but Faster acoustic is, it's an experience - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbeQYDsZy28

Dylan playing The Times They Are A Changin' now he's older, that's a different song, different enough to count, I say - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_nKf7BNqhA

But in keeping with the original theme of the meme

Orgy - Blue Monday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJZTfl3DmCU (Yes, I just love detuned basses)

Joey Ramone - What A Wonderful World - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IoO5nkxT_4

Lars Fredriksen and the Bastards - To Have And Have Not - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qeAnOX-UCk

And, warming up for next week, Nate G - Prince Igor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL5qZSgOA10
