I know for the mose part remakes are not as good as the originals, but what are some of your favorites? Mine are (in no particular order):
Summertime - Janis Joplin
Losing my religion - Tori Amos
All along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
She's not there - Santana
Man who sold the world - Nirvana
Sweet surrender - Sarah McLachlan
Rod Stewart -- "I Know I'm Losing You"
Smith -- "Baby It's You" (heard that on Sirius this morning)
R.E.M. -- "Superman"
Credence Clearwater Revival "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "I Put A Spell On You"
Soft Cell -- "Tainted Love"
Calexico -- "Alone Again Or"
Talkinig Heads -- "Take Me To The River"
Tom Jones -- "Kiss"
Camper Van Beethoven -- "Pictures of Matchstick Men"
Roxy Music -- "Like a Hurricane"
Rolling Stones -- they have so many, but "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" rocks!
For these I actually like the cover more than the original!!!
"I Swear" - All 4 One (original by John Michael Montgomery)
"Walking In Memphis" - Lonestar
"Life is a Highway" - Rascal Flatts
"Inside Your Heaven" - Carrie Underwood
Usually if the cover is a country version and the original isn't, I'll like the cover better with the exception of I Swear. Also the original for "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson is better than the new one by Reba McEntire.
My favorite music is country-pop, the kind of country that leans pop. Its better than normal pop or stuff that is traditional country.
Alison Krauss - When you say nothing at all
The Ramones - I don't wanna grow up
The Replacements - Another girl, another planet
Barry Manilow - Read em' and weep
Dwight Yoakam - Suspicious minds
Anthrax - Got the time
Watchtower has to be his best-known, But here are a few other Dylan ones that come to mind.
Blowin' In The Wind - Peter Paul & Mary
Mr. Tambourine Man - Byrds
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Guns & Roses
Mama You Been On My Mind - Rod Stewart
She Belongs To Me - Rick Nelson
Please, Mrs. Henry - Manfred Mann
And regarding All Along The Watchtower; I really, really like the original!
