Birdy's cover of Terrible Love by The National is a thing of beauty.

Anyone covering a Leonard Cohen song. Brilliant writer but terrible singer, so take your pick. Either a classic voice of Judy Collins or any punk band, all sound better than Len.

Even Nick Cave singing Cohen sounds good as he knows how to express the lyrics.

Re: Favourite cover versions
The Killers do a nice version of Joy Division’s “Shadowplay”.
I prefer The Fall’s cover of “Lost in Music” to the Sister Sledge original.

Re: Favourite cover versions
Decent effort. The cover of this excellent Knopfler song that I like best is by Steve Knightly (from the Show Of Hands folk "group"); it's done with more of a folkie approach (& using mandocello rather than guitar). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnEyuLn ... tley-TopicShaun1983 wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 5:55 amhttps://youtu.be/_6aQZ1uLCpA

Re: Favourite cover versions
The performer I've seen in the last few years whose covers have impressed me is Molly Tuttle. When I saw her she did a great singalong version of Neil Young's Helpless and released a really good covers album during lockdown. This Grateful Dead song (Standing on the Moon) was on that album, performed live here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpTivOX ... teMagazine
