Subject: The Official Cover Songs Thread - Your All Time Favourites?
Written By: whistledog on 03/21/07 at 8:42 pm
I know there's been threads like these in the past, but they are all over the place, so I thought i'd start one in here. There've been many cover songs past and present. What are some of your all-time favourites?

Cool topic and some nice suggestions so far. I'll try to put together a list later, but I wanted to ask, didn't the Mighty Pope version of "Heaven etc." predate the Nicholas one? I really like their version of that song, but I'd been working under the impression it was the original.

LOL Now I am all confused. Mighty Pope is Canadian, and I always assumed it was the cover of Paul Nicholas cause in the charts, it tells me that Mighty Pope's version was not written by a Canadian. Here's the debut chart dates that I found for North America:
In Canada ...
Mighty Pope (August 20, 1977)
Paul Nicholas (November 19, 1977)
In America ...
Mighty Pope (Did Not Chart)
Paul Nicholas (August 20, 1977)
Paul Nicholas went to #6 in the US with it, but stalled at #49 in Canada. Mighty Pope took it all the way to #14 in Canada
One of my favorite Ramones cover song is, "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?"...by CCR.
Speaking of The Ramones, I LOVED their cover of "Baby, I Love You" and of all the people that have covered that song, I thought they did the best job! 8)

Judas Priest did justice to "Johnny B. Goode" on their Ram It Down album in the late 80s. Originally, Chuck Berry...
Santana's "Hold On", from Shango is another of my favorite covers. I think it's an Ian Thomas cover...
You already mentioned that one...

Yeah. Maybe it was a true cover battle and they released them at the same time? Mighty Pope doesn't appear to have made any Billboard chart, but the two versions debuted on the Cashbox chart the exact same week (13 August 1977). Interestingly, Nicholas's version was the highest debut that week (at #83), while MP crept in at #100.
Anyway, sorry to sidetrack your thread!

wow! MP reached the Cashbox chart. It's nice to see his version was able to chart outside of Canada. Nicholas' version is more dance-pop fueled, while MP's is like a laid back funk groove.
The song was written by two folks named "Bugarth / Musker" whoever they are. lol

Great song! Cover and original, too.

Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" and "The Night" are very good covers.. Nirvana's "Man Who Sold The World" is exceptional as well, though they lost the atmosphere the Bowie original created.
Johnny Cash's "I Hung My Head"... beautiful cover. He perfected that song.
Which reminds me.. Hendrix ruined "All Along The Watchtower"... Frank Marino and Mahoghany Rush, on the other hand, did a very good version of it.
