With the announcement that Kyle Minogue is doing a cover of Oasis song "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" for Children In Need - see here [scroll down for video]
I was wondering what are your favourite cover versions of well-known songs ?
Here is one of mine

Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles
Alone - Heart
Both far better than the originals!
Oh & that charity version of SCYHO is AWFUL!

Same here, @madasaf1sh - excellent, the vid too.
This one's a cover, but many think The Animals' version is the original - it's not, but it is the best: The House of The Rising Sun.
Crank up the volume at the back there... 😉

The Animals version was the best, absolutely no doubt of that. I've heard the Bob Dylan/Joan Baez version and it doesn't float my boat at all.
Lucky enough to have seen the Animals back in the day and unusually for a 60's group their live performances were as good as the recorded version.
Probably one of the most underrated groups of all time. Sad when they split up.

The Animals were quite something, @Cleoriff.
This one's for @WispaRed7, a Bob Dylan cover by Runrig: The Times, They are A'changin'!
I heard it performed at a few of their live concerts back in the late 80s and early 90s - used to drive the crowd wild 😃

As good as that is @pgn, I do prefer the Bob Dylan version. The man was a poet. More like a busker at times. As for the song, I think it has now been classed as the anthem for 2020!

I agree that The Animals version of House of the Rising Sun is the best cover version.
As for Bob Dylan, he was the voice of a generation, writing and singing about what many of us thought at the time, and, as said, his Times They Are A-Changing has become an anthem of this year.
