3: Chris Cornell performs One (by U2) but with One (by Metallica) lyrics
 

Bit of an obvious one, but I do love the Arctics version of Girls Aloud Love Machine... :D
 
Love a good cover version. Just back from holiday and listened to this one a lot. Paul Weller Early Morning Rain .
 
My choices are (some are on youtube, some aren't) :

Strawberry switchblade - Sunday morning (original by Velvet Underground)
Thumpermonkey lives - Tam Lin (a traditional murder ballad, so there is no definitive original version, but this one is based on Fairport Convention's reading)
The Stranglers - Walk on by (originally recorded by Dionne Warwick)
Mike Oldfield - Platinum IV (original by Philip Glass as "North Star")
Tangerine Dream - Love on a real train from the "Risky Business" OST (original is section VII of Music for 18 musicians by Steve Reich)
 
 
Gus Black - Paranoid

Noel Gallagher - There is a light that never goes out
 
Tool - No Quarter

Lissie - Nothing Else Matters
 
My Morning Jacket - Rocketman
 
Not a great fan of covers but do enjoy almost all of Hayseed Dixie's offerings.
 
Led Zeppelin :D

Some interesting tunes to listen there :thumbs:
 
This surprised me how well it worked when I saw them doing it: Travis - Hit Me Baby

 
Love Siouxsie's version of Dear Prudence.

On a Beatles theme, sort of, John Lennon's Rock n Roll covers album.
 
And continuing the Scottish theme, Aztec Camera do Van Halen's 'Jump' (which was the B Side to All Need Is Everything - this is the extended 'Loaded' version which I'm convinced I have on ten inch vinyl)

 
 
 
cant leave out this one.. the drumming from beginning to end.. outstanding to keep the tempo for so long

 
 
Maiden United...........
