Here's a live version. Awesome....

In my opinion one of the best artist to come out of the 90s. Absolutely amazing. What a version of "elderly lady behind the counter in a small town"

This is breaking the internet right now:

This thread takes me back to the old teenager punk/pop/emo days... where most of their better songs were covers Couple no hit/one hit wonders

= Rufio Like a prayer
= AAF Smooth Criminal
And pretty much anything by New Found Glory who just started making full cover albums, my fav was kiss me

 

[Dude]

I liked the spin on Kiss Me. That will end up on my playlist.

I have to say, though, Madonna's original on Like a Prayer is still tops. She is one of those artists that had such a great voice, difficult to top.

Even this version of Kiss Me, tough to say I like the voice better, but the pace is just so different, very unique.

Cello band covering Tool. 10 minutes long, but worth the listen. If you like cellos. And Tool.

Isn't this a covers that are better than the originals thread?

Mini Dude went to the Symphony Orchestra recently, where they were covering Bowie, and had a singer in to complete the act. Said it was awesome.
