Song Covers...that you like/love

[slashess]

okay, I really like the Another Brick in the Wall by Korn, it adds the metal taste to it and it makes it seem more emotional. I also like the cover of Break on Through by STP, it adds a grunge feel to it. you know?

[Ziyte]

Amy Lee did a cover of a Nirvana song that I really liked. I can't recall the name though.

"Heart Shaped Box" I think.

And Alicia Keys' cover of the Gladys Knight song (I can't remember the name of that either ^^;;; )

[ImpactBreaker]

-BONNIE PINK's cover of Aimme Mann "That's Just What You Are", it's as much as cool as the original version.

-Shiina Ringo's cover of Cindy Lauper's Unconditional Love
-Crystal Kay's cover of Cindy Lauper's Time After Time
-The "dream" covers of many avex artists including globe, DAI and ayumi
-ayum hamasaki covers of Yumi Matsutoya's "Shotsugyo Shashin", trf's "teens", SWEETBOX' "In The Corner"
-Hitomi Shimatani's Papiyon -papillon-, cover of Janet Jackson's "Doesn't really Matter", by far much better than the original
-Hitomi Yaida's cover of "fast car". I like the original better but it's just because it has a lot of nostalgic meaning to me, because Hitomi did a pretty excellent job and the lyrics were even converted to japanese.
-BONNIE PINK's and Tommy february 6's "I'm in the mood for dancing" are both good.

I would like to add KEIKO's cover of EZ DO DANCE by TRF.

Same here. Nothing against the original, but damn, Sam Beam makes it just magical.

[sora-kara]

This country group (I think they're called 'Luther Right and the Wrongs') or something like that....well, they covered the entire 'The Wall' album by Pink Floyd, and it's just freakin' fantasic.

[__i_n_o_c_h_i_i__]

Utada Hikaru's cover of U2's ''With or Without you'' << least I think thats what the song is called..

That was such a great cover, she did a good job singing for that, she sounded semi-husky and stuff in it.

Edit: Thanx ImpactBreaker; i misunderstood the thread title.

i like Hitomi Shimatani's Papillon, which i thought was better than Janet's "Doesn't Really Matter". The lyrics are beautiful.

[ImpactBreaker]

Oh totally forgot hitomi's cover of CUNE's SAMURAI DRIVE, that one rocks.

This thread is about artists covering songs that already existed by other artists, not "cd covers"

I gotta hear that song, i LOVE the original

[Larisa-chan]

Anna Tsuchiya's cover of Somebody Help Me is even better than the original o.o (Forgot who sang it, but apparently was the theme song of this show Tru Calling or something)
