Kruder and Dorfmeister remix of Lamb's Trans Fatty Acid. Awesome tune

Step On - Happy Mondays.

No. Just, no! The original pisses in its boots and pwns it with bombers.

I think it was Annie Nightingale's request show on a Sunday night back when the Mondays' version was out, they did a show dedicated to different versions of Step On. Sadly pre-iPlayer so not available to listen again, unless anyone has it on tape..

Joss Stone - Fell in love with a boy

Oh, and...CountZero - you are dead to me. 😉

Adam F. Circles.

Well it's not really a cover, and it's not exactly a remix either, but it's certainly a musical reinterpretation so...

The Soul Hooligans remix of Shoot You Down on The Stone Roses Remix album is a favourite of of mine.

One for the ess tee dub massive

Speed of the sound of loneliness - Alabama 3 - not the usual..

William Orbit - Adajio for strings.

(Although if Tiesto's version was available in my youth my head and those of my peers may well have exploded)

Aphex Twin ambient mix of Zeros and Ones by Jesus Jones.
GNR cover of Live and Let Die.

Pet Shop Boys,, Always on my mind.

Outta space - Prodigy
Stand by me - pennywise

Carter USM - The Impossible Dream.
The Damned - Alone Again Or

Just be thankful by Massive Attack.

Coupla gooduns

Like a virgin - lords of the new church, ok not that good really but quite amusing.

the man who sold the world - Nirvana
Spirit in the Sky - Doctor and the Medics

As Johnny cash's Hurt & Soft Cell's Tainted Love have already been mentioned, I'm going with

And for sh1t'n'giggles:

Faith No More - Easy

Theo Parrish on STW. Well played

P.E. & Anthrax, Bring the Noise.

Well at least no-one seems to have mentioned Sound of Silence this time. So that's good.

Speaking of SRV, his cover of Little Wing is brilliant.

@davidtaylforth
The original

Home town glory high contrast remix

Ok, covers have been covered [i]so many[/i] times, here's some remixes

Oh go on then, one cover. Original by Blawan

@davidtaylforth
The original

Off the hook!

Not a patch on the cover though.

Why have I never known about the P.E./Anthrax?! Awesome

One

A one, two, three, four!

Yes thank you Kurt, Hometown glory High Contrast is ace.
Next favourite remix of mine then...

Bowie and Leftfield

Wonder how many tunes above feature samples from my 4 😉

Old wobbly head doing Say hello, wave goodbye

The Clash, I fought the Law.

Bobby Fuller's original is pretty good, though....

Ramones - Baby I Love You
Beatles - You Really Got A Hold On Me.
Stone Roses - Elizabeth My Dear (Scarborough Fair).

Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb

Edit - Pearl Jam's version above (that I hadn't heard before) is a crap regurgitation of the original but SS re-imagine it beautifully IMO.

Stevie Wonders version of We Can Work it out is pretty awesome.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, has ever improved on an original like Joe Cocker

London Grammar Wicked game

I do have a thing for covers, and I could probably fill a thread with covers of What It's Worth but I'll go with Lou Rawls

I do like that London Grammar version of Wicked Game..

Another song that I like two very, very different versions of:

and the other slightly daft dubby thing I've been listening to a bit recently has been this

The Dream Academy - Please, Please, Please

Norman Cooks Brimful of Asha remix
Faith No More's - War Pigs cover is better than original imo and they did a cover of Drugstore Cowboy theme too
Black Crowe's Hard2 Handle
The Jam's David Watts
Limp Bizkits Mission Impossible theme
Stereophonics hand Bags n glad rags
Golden slumbers/carry that weight by Jennifer Hudson was emotionally moving
You'll never walk Alone - Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Prolly this.

Usually listen to this in the garage whilst doing an oil change on the Rover 75, mmmmmmm maroon.

So STW.

Kruder and Dorfmeister remix of Lamb's Trans Fatty Acid. Awesome tune

Classic STW music thread 🙂
