So, a radio station in Australia has a segment called Like a Version where bands come in and record a cover and it's been going for 20 years, so they are having a countdown of your favourite ones. This got me thinking, what is your favourite cover of a song?

Johnny Cash singing Hurt. Trent Reznor said something like "It is not my song anymore." That song always makes me cry, especially with video.

I love Black Nail Cabaret (a band from Hungary) and I think they are soooo underrated! Their original songs are great, but they can totally do cover versions too, e.g. these:
Voyage Voyage (original version by Desireless).
Rent (original version by Pet Shop Boys)
Tell me it's not over (original version by Starsailor)

Look up Halocene, and their other linked bands/singers on Youtube, they do some fantastic covers. Their Bo Rahp is the best cover of that song I have ever heard.

My younger daughter enlightened me to Fiona Apple’s cover of The Beatles’ “Across The Universe”. It’s my current favorite cover.

To add some kind of aussie content....
" and the band played waltzing Matilda" (by eric bogle) covered by The Pogues..... A beautiful song made even better....
( one of the few high points of my life was once getting drunk at a BBQ in outback SA with Eric Bogle, in the 80s, and making him play it for me!)

Yay for the Aussie content! I can't remember if I had heard this version before, but I love it! (That must have been a crazy experience, I'm glad you were able to remember it after the fact 😀)

Summer Night City by Therion. It takes the pop tune of ABBA and transforms it into a symphonic metal masterpiece.

Mine probably has to be Little Lion Man done by Tonight Alive on Punk Goes Pop Vol4. I mean you really can't go wrong with a Punk Goes Pop song, they've created some of my favourite covers ever (honourable mentions to Flagpole Sitta by Chiodos & Toxic by A Static Lullaby) but Little Lion Man will always be my song and this version kicks it up a notch

Probably either Livin' La Vida Loca by Autumn Kings (originally by Ricky Martin) or Eleanor Rigby by Palaye Royale (originally by the Beatles)
