I'm looking to expand my playlists a little bit, and eager to hear everyone's thoughts. If this thread gains some traction I'll mention some of my personal favourite covers. Cheers, Deryk

Ordinary World - Red (DuranDuran) Unstoppable [Redux Version] - Red (Sia) Enjoy the Silence - Anberlin (Depeche Mode) Zombie - Bad Wolves (The Cranberries) I actually have a really bad habit of listening to songs, not realizing they are covers, and then hunting down the originals. Edit: Although, I know you like Glass Animals. Not sure if you'll like Love Lockdown, but it's a Kanye West cover. Last edited by Ember - PG Music; 09/06/19 10:08 AM. Cheers, Ember

The album All This And World War II, from the supposedly awful movie I never saw, has some pretty good covers of Beatles songs by well known artists.

I took the question as which was MY favorite cover to play. /Taking a little liberty of course .. add a thumb/pop bass to this version and it was a blast to play .. kinda gave it a new twist that seemed well received whenever we played it. If we are restricted to covers we've heard done by others, Fire (Springsteen's song) is an obvious omission so far, any version by whoever, really .. including Bruce <grin> great songs can be done many ways, but we know the song I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

RESPECT! Even Queen doesn't do the center part of that song live. Oh yeah, it's in the show but the lights dim and it's obviously being played from a track. A case of smoke and mirrors.... Pink nailed the song and the center part was immaculately done.... live on stage. She's got almost as much on stage swagger as Freddy.

I actually didn't care for Panic's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I really, really wanted to like it because I have a lot of respect for his vocals most of the time. I saw him live, and he was so invested in putting on a big flashy show he got really screechy and didn't really sing most of his songs, and I was pretty let down. I think my favourite versions of songs he has done have been at small, intimate gathers with just his guitar. He did a session for a radio show and did unplugged versions of a few of his own songs and they were phenomenal. Music, however, is entirely subjective! So I know it's probably just my own personal taste showing through. Cheers, Ember

For me, it depends on the genre, if it was converted to another genre...even how old I was when I heard it. Different "wow!" factors at different points in my life.

I got the goosebumps when he performed Bohemian Rhapsody as I was impressed with both his vocals and piano. He made it look effortless.

My good friends saw them perform live, and they say the rendition they did of Bohemian Rhapsody was outstanding. I checked out that link to their version for the Suicide Squad soundtrack, and it is actually impressive. That guy certainly has a good set of pipes. Thanks for sharing - I'm really not a fan of them and would've likely never heard that otherwise. Sorry to hear about your experience Ember! Maybe you caught him on a bad day Cheers, Deryk
