Anything by Bob Dylan done by literally anyone else.
Dylan can write beautiful music. He just can’t sing for shit.
He can sing, he just has a unique voice.
Listen to Nashville Skyline and John Wesley Harding and tell me that dude can’t sing.
And in the live Bootleg Series albums (thinking of Vol 4 specifically), he really hits all the notes.
I’m talking early-ish Dylan, of course (up to and including, Desire). Nowadays his voice is pretty trashed
Nobody sings a Bob Dylan song worse than Bob Dylan.
He did pretty well on “stuck in the middle”
That was Steeler’s Wheel, who’s singer/guitarist was Gerry Rafferty of “Baker Street” (and others) fame.
I used to think it was Dylan too!
I know
Excellent answer, hard to beat that. Man could write some songs but goddamn is he grating to listen to
Hard disagree on that one. I fucking love Dylan.
This is how I feel about all Stones songs too.
Pink Pomy Club by Gwar
I saw them do this live, basically the spew was on nonstop throughout.
West End Girls by Gwar
Every cover GWAR did for AV Club kicks ass
Their She Bop is a great cover too.
Girls Just Want to have Fun, by Cindi Lauper.
Walk Me Out in the Morning Dew by The Jeff Beck Band.
This is the original for those unaware.
Wow. I have no idea how it is that TIL and not before.
Hurt by Johnny Cash
99 red balloons by Goldfinger
Faith by Limp Bizkit
500 miles by Less Than Jake
I’m a big fan of the German cover of that song
You mean the original?
yes it’s great
My Chemical Romance did a cover of All I Want For Christmas Is You. Which is way better then the Mariah Carey one.
HEEEYYYAAAYYAYAY.
I just need it to be the He-Man variant. With the cook-break
Now it’s time for cake!
Purple Rain covered by The White Birch (Norway)
Seether - Careless Whisper
Im gonna be a bit tangental. I don’t like much original elvis stuff and I like the beatles but rock matured a lot after them. So often I like remakes of both better than the originals.
I Prevail’s cover of Taylor swift’s Blank Space
Not that I dislike her music but just not my style of choice.
Postmodern Jukebox’s version of We Can’t Stop.
Their version of Take Me to Church is pretty good, too. Not the the original was bad, but Morgan James just takes it to another level. If you find a live version where it’s just her and a pianist, it’s pretty impressive. Got to see it live awhile back and had chills.
Noah Hawley and Jeff Russo did a cover of Don’t Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty for the show Legion that is fantastic, I’ve never liked anything from Tom Petty.
