[Closed] Best covers or remixes?

Surprised nobody has mentioned the King of the remixes yet...

If you can find it (not on YouTube or anywhere else I've searched for that matter) he did a killer remix of "Not in Love" by Enrique Iglesias too!

That bass hook from Professional Widow though! 8)

Just for Edlong another version of for what it's worth

Houns - Member

Wonder how many tunes above feature samples from my 4

I've got a party planned to celebrate the 50th birthday of the amen break.
It will be bangin'. 8)

Stereophonics hand Bags n glad rags - from above gets a vote from me

forgotten what I've posted in previous threads - here's a couple

the ginger one from the eighties does talking heads rather well:

Faith No More's - War Pigs cover is better than original imo

I mean 😯 😯 😯

They sound like a tribute band!

Another Wedding Present cover

My wife hates it but I think it's great:

Alanis Morissette my humps

www.youtube.com/watch?v=W91sqAs-_-g

Remix. Coldcut's Eric B & Rakim, Paid in Full (7 minutes of madness mix)

Cover

Sandie Shaw - Sympathy for the Devil. Can never quite decide if it's great or awful

Best remix you say?

Can't hear that one ^^ as I'm at work, but for mixes of Primal Scream's Loaded it will be going some (imho) to touch Terry Farley's one:

and on a similar note, Andy Weatherall's mix of Come Together is pretty definitive (again, imho):

Sandie Shaw - Sympathy for the Devil. Can never quite decide if it's great or awful

It's great.

Hey Joe- Rory Gallagher

Oops I did it again - Richard Thompson

Agree on the Jennifer Warnes album, especially Joan of Arc.

Always - Leonard Cohen

Love will tear us apart - June Tabor and the Oysterband

John Wesley Harding (whole album)- Thea Gilmore

Can't hear that one ^^ as I'm at work, but for mixes of Primal Scream's Loaded it will be going some (imho) to touch Terry Farley's one

It was more the point that Loaded itself is a remix of Primal Scream's earlier song, I'm Losing More Than I Ever Had

re ^

not currently available but you might be able to get it in bits on youtube. Brilliant watch, great stories.

Come Together is a good shout.

Weatherall's work sometimes benefits from a remix also. Is it too early to get the strobe and smoke machine out?

For me

Disturbed - Sound of Silence
William Orbit - Barbers Adagio
Nightwish - Walking in the Air

Gun - Word Up

No codpiece involved

Oops I did it again - Richard Thompson

Disturbed - Sound of Silence

Crippled Black Phoenix ..and this

Was lucky enough to see the band(AC/DC ) in 1977 at the Mayfair Newcastle on a Friday night ..pay at the door ..
Even though he is a local lad ..Ive never liked Brian Johnson's vocal ..just way too strained

Cake - I will survive
The Wedding Present - Come up and see me (make me smile)
The Sundays - Wild horses
The Specials - Pressure drop

Remix ... Depeche Mode - Policy of truth sheepy baa baa mix

B ? R N ? C ? E B Ø Ï ? – ???? - ??? ??? ????g? ???

Ooh just remembered. Hounds of Love - Futureheads

Ooh just remembered. Hounds of Love - Futureheads

Damn, I'd managed to forget about that one quite successfully. That's the "marmite" cover isn't it? People either love it or hate it. That and that version of Simon & Garfunkel that always comes up on these threads. I'd be happy if I never heard either of them again. That, and the third of my trinity of "that's not very good" (imho) covers goes to a band I generally quite like, but not in this instance:

OP pretty much won the thread with

Even Better Than The Real Thing (The Perfecto Mix) - U2

I'm not a big Perfecto or U2 fan, but that track is ginormous, and also reminds me of Rimini '92, enough said?

sbob

2 things..... 1. You won't be short of tracks to play, over 2000! And 2. Can I have an invite? 😛

Florence Welch doing you got the love.

Couldn't care What the stwistas Think, I love our Florence.

Korn - Another Brick in The Wall

This is sick.

In the interests of time I'll offer a remix of a cover. Two birds, one stone, etc.

Sadly, the original video isn't available, so this is a live version, but I absolutely love Beck's cover of The Korgies [i]Everyone's Gotta Learn Sometimes[/i].

A bit of lushness.

Thea Gilmore does good cover:

She's not averse to taking on the challenge of recording an entire album of unfinished songs written by Sandy Denny, either:

I've got the album, I've never heard this demo mix before, and it's lovely.

Another cover of a Sandy Denny song by Thea, which is on the same album, "Don't Stop Singing", but this predates it, a live version of [i]Georgia[/i].
I didn't know the back-story to this song, it's about Sandy's daughter Georgia, who was taken away from Sandy because she was in such a bad place, Sandy died not long after.

Surprised by the amount of shit music suggested on this thread. I am disappointed. Some good stuff there too amongst the crap I suppose

No DJ Koze suggested yet? He has some great remixes.

The Korgies Everyone's Gotta Learn Sometimes.

I have always loved this cover:

Stipe, Merchant, Bragg doing the John Prine song to absolute perfection.

Threads are for "music stopped being made in 2000" people. Stay away 🙂

Lost Fingers -Pump up the Jam

Cleverleys -I gotta feeling

Makrosoft -Das Modell

Delta Goodrem -I believe in a thing called love

Honeywagon -Billie Jean

I love DJ Koze's Låpsley Operator remix

an entire album: Apocalyptica - plays Metallica, by four cellos.

it's all good, here's the nub:

i love these threads!

Couple of tasty remixes from Beck

and who would struggle to fall in love with a Happy Hardcore cover version from war of the worlds?

i'm sure dj antisocial did a version, but my google-fu is weak...

Bullion's remix from back in the long lost days of "wonky" - I prefer to the original.

Head like a hole - I'm on fire

Cash & Strummer - Redemption song.

SLF - Johnny Was.

Utah Saints - Something Good. More of a sample than a cover.

Beth Gibbons (Portishead)doing SOS.

Just remembered this one, while listening the the Beats album:

King Crimson [i]Heroes[/i]
Ah yes, Portishead's [i]SOS[/i] cover, I'd forgotten that one as well, good call. 😀

Sunday - 10,000 maniacs

Generally anything that Nouvelle Vague cover but this Soft Cell cover is a favourite

And on the subject of remix's I stumbled over this beauty about a year ago which is so wrong but oh so right

Mike Masse has done some brilliant covers. His Africa cover is one of the best though -

There's an interview video with Mike as well, and he's met Toto, and they said that's how the song should of been done, but they couldn't sing well enough.

I'm also liking ortoPilot's cover of '74-'75 just now-
