Randall I thought this thread already existed here but must only be on the first forum (RIP). Anyways in my listening last night came upon two examples. John Cale’s sleazy late night version of Heartbreak Hotel Owen Maearcks- Little Black Egg
tapeurchin Controversial opinion - I might prefer the Delmonas “That Boy of Mine” to the original Kinks’ track most days.
sixbigboys I love pretty much every version of this song, but this is probably my favorite (the original is It's Alright by the Zombies): Also, this one:
Sukebe_GG Treading close hard to say if they excel the excellent originals but the bands are definitely able own the songs in their own styles... The Fluid - Our Love Will Still Be There Husker Du - Eight Miles High
BloodstainsAcrossMantovani On the "Eight Miles High" front: Index. I sent this to a co-worker who is into all those 2000s emo bands with names like Ashes of My Broken Summer or fucking whatever, and I pitched it to her as "60s emo." She said that my description made sense and that she enjoyed the track
Mystery_Ship BloodstainsAcrossMantovani great pick. I’d say their take on “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” also trumps any other version.
tapeurchin The Turtles are great at covering others’ songs - It Ain’t Me Babe and Eve of Destruction to name two
