I decided to make a thread to post youtube videos of a song, and then a cover of that song. I will start off:

Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2iv_E-Fn9E

Social Distortion - Ring of Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2ESgR0FUM

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXyX45A0Alk

COVERS:

Darren Hayes

Jeffrey Gaines

I pick these becuse theres three and also becuse the gaines on was my fave and then i heard the hayes one and its great to.

P.S.I can list a gazillion covers haha but ill just do this

John Lennon ~ Imagine

A Perfect Circle ~ Imagine (great video, IMO)

Best cover found, thread can be closed.

Not really, zeug. I cba to look for youtube vids at work, but:

Led Zeppelin - No Quarter

Tool - No Quarter

Now, this is one of the rare times when the song is an all time master piece and the cover is even better.

Now this thread can be locked

The Dubliners - Whiskey In The Jar The original, which some people didn't know about.

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar

Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar

Gotta love both of these covers.

Chris Farlowe - Out of Time

Manic Street Preachers - Out of Time

There's also a Rolling Stone's version, but in the short time I can't find a decent link. However I prefer the Manics version.

I favour Cash's version.

I actually found this girl last night, hopefully she wont stay unsigned for long.

She has other covers too, was a good watch.

Some more covers, all from the same band and have to say I'm a big fan of these guys If you ever get the chance to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, I recommend you go, great value for money and sheer genius that seems very unique to Britain.

That's great.

The one who sings "Hotel California" has a great voice, IMO, also in the "Life On Mars" video.

Snow patrol - Run, then the not so brilliant cover...

Not sure if that's lunacy or genius, or both.

And, a probably more obvious one. Original. Cover. Another cover. A third cover.

Original. Odd cover. Another odd cover.
