The Editors one that Tom posted was another of my favourites, I still prefer that to the original.

The Born Slippy cover I posted SO holds a candle to the original too, it pretty much burns the original down!

How about The Ting Tings version of Standing in the way of Control.

^I hate to say it, because I'm a big Cure fan, but I think I have to agree you Rob.

I nearly forgot about this one:

It's a cover of a Billy Bragg song, but Dubstar really made it their own on their version.

 

[DjTommyB]

Hmm here's a few I like

But we DO NOT like her cover of "Run"! *waves fist at Leona*

 

[jokerman]

^So right. That version is incredibly dull, and makes me cry in a bad way.

 

[Jools]

I love Leona's style in that cover, I think she's amazing. I also like her Stop Crying Your Heart Out. Pixie Lott is one of my influences, so ofcourse I think she's amazing.

 

[Hixee]

More of a mash-up cover type song, but this is annoying catchy...

^ I would love it if Tinchy shut the **** up when Amelle and Taio were singing!!

Quite a nice recently one. Like the fact it's all in "Acapella" haha.

 

[BetaKitten]

^ That is amazing!!! <3 I love their Hounds of Love cover too...

But this cover is better....

Feeling Good covered by Muse.

I love it!

They also did a pretty good copver of Andy Williams' Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

Bada-bada-ba-ba-ba-badada, bada-bada-ba-ba-ba-badada, I LOVE YOU BABY! *ahem*

Goldfrapp did a really bassy cover of Yes, Sir, I can Boogie by Baccara. Was the B-side to Twist.

Can't think of any other obscure ones right now.

 

[ECG]

Love that one Lucy!!!

Here's one of my favorite Johhny Cash covers.

But then Johnny's version is actually a cover.

How about UK Goth sensation The Mission covering Aerosmith's (frankly awesome) Dream On:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORhO2a6tyg&feature=related[/youtube]

It's a very good cover (but I still prefer the original).

And going back to classics, you have to love The White Stripes cover of "I just don't know what to do with myself"... Even if just for the video

Bada-bada-ba-ba-ba-badada, bada-bada-ba-ba-ba-badada, I LOVE YOU BABY! *ahem*.

Oh yes, I did know that, that one is good too!

Neal's just STOLEN the one I was about to post! That is a quality cover though, there's not many people who could do that song justice.

Following on from the Hot Chip one, which frankly is better than the original, here's their cover of Wearing My Rolex, which is genius.

Hehehe, well if it was going to be anyone - it was the resident Stereophonics fanboy :roll: :lol:
