Your favorite cover by a band/singer

Great thread that slipped by me.



 


I like this version of Gordon Lightfoot's classic. Look for the singer, Hugh Dillon, as Sheriff Haskell in Yellowstone...

Do all of the Journey songs originally sung by Steve Perry and then later performed by Arnel Pineda count? Dude has done an amazing job and the back story is pretty mind blowing.

To a slightly lesser extent, IMO, the same can be said with Adam Lambert and Queen. There will never be another Freddie Mercury but Adam has certainly done an admirable job performing with Queen. Probably the only other person I can think of that could have pulled it off was George Michael.

Another one that at first I was appalled at that I've grown to love is Simple Man done by Shinedown

If you like Johnny Cash there is a great cover of Bob Marleys "Redemption Song" by him and Joe Strummer ( The Clash). And if you like covers of Johnny Cash songs there is Social Distortion covering "Ring Of Fire" which is pretty good as well.
