Post a cover version of a song you like.

[idgiehkt]

I love this version of "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Blues Traveler, with John Popper substituting harmonica for the violin parts.

[Joe Fields]

1. Popper did a great job on that one.

Jumpin' Jack Flash

[SKKY]

2. There are several I like actually...

"Black" by Aaron Lewis is fantastic
"Boyz in the hood" by Dynamite Hack is great
but the king of all covers, in my humble opinion, is "Get Down, Make Love" by Nine Inch Nails

[ghostsofgiants]

10. If you like the Dynamite Hack cover of "Boyz In The Hood"

3. Don't Think Twice (Dylan) done by Mike Ness (Social D) n/t

[SoxFan]

14. I've had it stuck in my head all day!

I listened to that CD while caffeinating this morning!

[Throwing Stones]

22. Not a bad version to have reverberating through the neurons, though

the whole album is a caffeine kick of it's own, and I was never a big Social D fan.

[Rambis]

4. Nights in White Satin: Dickies

I was collecting versions of that song but it's been so long ago, I've probably missed some more since I quit it.

[ceile]

11. I have trouble w/ youtube

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. Those are great!

Something about the cover of Guns of Brixton is so demented sounding.. I love it!


I fel in love with the second just by reading the name! For some reason the lead singer reminds me of the lead singer of Modest Mouse in the second song.

[taterguy]

12. Jason and the Scorchers doing Dylans Absolutely Sweet Marie

Never heard the original but this version rocks my world

http://youtube.com/watch?v=p-cF40OWeak

It's stunning. Best remake I've ever heard.

[Mendocino]

18. Little Wing-Derek and the Domino's

Written by Jimi Hendrix. Duane Allman and Eric Clapton at their best.

[swag]

19. Here's the Fall doing "Victoria" by the Kinks.

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Nice.

I need to listen to The Fall more.

[Mr. Blonde]

21. Was searching for something else and came across this

It's Fortunate Son but I'm not sure who all is playing. Looks like Pearl Jam and Steve Earle for sure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1BGZ0gAw9M

Also the PJ version of Love Reign O'er Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JspHEtTfqfw

For the record I was looking for KT Tunstall doing Tangled Up In Blue on Jools Holland.

[judaspriestess]

23. I could not find the original video

so I had to post the live version, which sounds like crap, lol

You're so Vain by Faster Pussycat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B43McpGdiSs

[Throwing Stones]

24. thanks - hadn't heard that cover, never liked the song 'til now

Ever hear the Man in Black's cover of One?

Of course, Johnny Cash could probably sing the phone book and make it sound cool.

[idgiehkt]

26. John Popper rulez!

Most of the songs of his that I really like are not even on youtube, though, they are the philosophical ones like "Just Wait" "Look Around" "A Hundred Years" "The Mountains Win Again". He is such a visionary. On the other hand, I really wanted to throttle the guitar player, the solo was too loud and too long.

[Throwing Stones]

29. yeah, the recording isn't the greatest, but in the guitarist defense

I think this was probably a song they had rehearsed maybe once on after a long alcohol-drenched afternoon.

Popper has surprised me, not in the least by the fact that he's still around. Have you seen BT lately? I saw them a few times in the late 90s, but haven't really followed them much since. They do put on a great live show, though.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Funny story bout him.... I ran into him at a bar a few years ago....

... I was RIPPED. Me and my friend saw him, and I said "hey - you look like John Popper, only smaller". He said "I am John Popper", I said "You are not, you lying motherfucker"... We went back-and-forth like this about 5 times... Finally I said "I'll give you $20 if your driver's license says you're John Popper." He gave me his license, and I apologized, and gave him $20. He was TOTALLY cool about it all - he was close to as drunk as I was, so all feelings throughout all of this were good-natured - and he even gave me his harmonica - which I still have!

I love the Satellite bar just for that reason.

[idgiehkt]

35. that's right

he did lose a bunch of weight. That is too funny. I think he's one of the most talented songwriters to come around in a very long time...and he acts like this big libertarian tough guy, but he is SO deep, really.

Oh My God I just found my favorite BT song:

Look Around, to a video of images from Deviant Art

edit:

I still can't get over the fact that you called John Popper a "lying motherfucker"

[BlooInBloo]

38. It was in a TOLLY funny way - sweartagod!

[bikebloke]

25. Sweet Home Alabama by the Leningrad Cowboys

Dig those hair doos.

27. Hole - Gold Dust Woman rocks!

[Deja Q]

28. This one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ3T43HQIlA

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling thats the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You dont need money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But youll be glad baby when youve found
Thats the power makes the world goround

Chorus 2 :
And it dont take money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you dont care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

Chorus 3 :
It dont take money and it dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You wont feel nothin till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
Thats the power, thats the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

37. Cyndi Lauper's cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?"

Not that I don't worship Marvin's version, but Lauper does a wonderful job.

39. Then there's the stupendous cover of "Somewhere over the rainbow"

by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole, but everyone has heard this already. Though, if you've only heard it used in commercials, you might as well here the full thing.

40. "Love Hurts" or "Fooled Around & Fell in Love" -- Oh. Sorry. Thought *I* was supposed to cover!!1 n/
