Favourite cover versions of songs...

R.I.P Amy, she had her problems, but she was a good singer. I Liked her album Back to Black.

 
It's very hard to cover this well. But they do it...okay. Nobody can really touch Prince. They come close.
 
So I was wondering what Alice contemporaries was doing in '73. Apparently this.
Big fan of the original. This is one is...okay. (Rolling Stones cover.)
 
Original by The Who (1971)
Bargain, Resurrection [Rez] Band (1989)
Made famous by The Doobie Brothers (1972)
Jesus Is Just Alright, DC Talk (1992)​

NGL, I'm still a DC Talk fanboy (since my youth) and I never knew that song was a cover.

Also,


I bet a lot of you remember the original. I love this version for some reason

SMOKEY ROBINSON AND THE MIRACLES
Everybody Needs Love (Very unique version. Yet I like The Temptations' version best.)
Medley: Something/Something You Got (Former originally by The Beatles; latter originally by Chris Kenner. To me this medley sounds better than both versions each.)

DAVID BOWIE
See Emily Play (original by Pink Floyd)
I Can't Explain (original by The Who)
Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere (original by The Who)
(I dislike all the above original versions of these David Bowie covers.)
 

Both bands covered each other around the same time. I love how different their styles are and how they made them their own
 
Feel free to make fun of me for this lol...
I'm way too old for whatever this song is from lol (turns out it's from a kids show from the 2010s, when I was already basically an adult. I was vaguely aware of what Monster High dolls were but I didn't know there was a show.) It keeps popping up on my Youtube feed for some reason.
The song has been stuck in my head all day though because it has the same catchiness factor as early-mid 2000s pop music. I was surprised that the original of this song was from like 2012 because it reminds me of the music that was on the radio when I was growing up. I would've totally loved this song when I was 9 or 10.

This is a cover
