Good Covers

grohlisagod

I've been searching for some good modern covers and have been struggling to find anything worthwhile.
One of the best I've heard recently is Versaemerge's version of the Rolling Stones classic Paint it Black. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hj-XpglVrY&ob=av2n

Anybody come across anything good?

Fair enough! It's not a patch on the original but I think Versaemerge's cover is one of the better versions I've heard.
I wouldn't be a fan of Radiohead to be honest so I didn't particularly like it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

There's been some super covers. Off the top of my head though this one os a pretty sweet one

One of my favourite covers is My Morning Jacket's version of Rocketman.

Agreed on both fronts. Haven't heard Nobody Does it Better for a long time. Great, thanks!

Huge Smiths fan, but that's terrible. Completely misses the magic. Sorry.

Not sure if this fits the exact criteria, but these guys rock a small German pub!

Ben l'Oncle Soul's version of Seven Nation Army, brilliant live performance. Their album Soul Wash's pretty awesome too.

This one is pretty good. Foals cover of One by Swedish House Mafia. This coming from someone who doesn't in any way like the original.
