Set reminded me in another thread (ironically, the Worst Song Ever thread) how many good David Bowie covers are out there. Links to Def Leppard's "Drive In Saturday" and Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World" were already posted earlier in this thread, but here's a couple more.

Bauhaus, "Ziggy Stardust":

MLLASH reminded me of these two beauties from the Randy Newman songbook:

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today", sung by the indescribably great Irma Thomas (b. 1941)

and

"Old Man", sung by Art Garfunkel (b. 1941)

Related to that other thread: Nirvana covers:

Cibo Matto: "About A Girl". The cheesy lounge-Latin arrangement and their deadpan intro never fails to make me giggle.

Laura Love: "Come As You Are". I mostly know Love from her later work in bluegrass groups, but I like the ultra-simple stylings of this cover.

And I just discovered this song a few days ago...

I mostly listen to metal but I also am a big fan of Johnny Cash. Combine to two for a totally rocking song...

Sad Man's Tongue (Johnny Cash Cover) - Volbeat

I know most of you aren't into this style of music, but this is really worth checking out!!

There's no connection or theme here but these are simply some random covers that I always enjoy:

We had some Lou Reed love early in the thread; here's a cover of one of his songs from the Velvet Undergound days. It's from The Feelies "Only Life" album (one of my all-time faves)

The Feelies - What Goes On

Husker Du released a few covers during their time together (including a version of "Sunshine Superman") but Bob Mould's howling semi-incoherence on this Byrds track makes it their best:

Husker Du - Eight Miles High

I have to be honest I had to look up the original artist behind this Madness number, so here's to you Mr. Labi Siffre. This version has sort of supplanted the original - it was recently used in a Volkswagen commercial:

Madness - It Must Be Love

This one I found through random youtube searching for The Clash but I've gone back to it quite often. The original is one of my favortie Clash songs - this band features a female lead singer and they added horns to the arrangement as well:

TIJUANA NO! - Spanish Bombs
