I'm always looking for good covers and/or reinterpretations of older songs, no matter from which genre they originally come or which genre the were covered / reinterpreted to. One of my all time favorites is and will always be this one:
I actually hate the original song. I never liked Simon & Garfunkel. But this new interpretation kicks ass so much! :)
And then there is this masterpiece by the unmatched Paul Anka:
The following is from a small german band called "Das Scheit". My girlfriend worked for these guys as a tour manager and merchandise seller for a few years:
Then we have Paradise Lost with their brilliant cover of Small Town Boy:
And last I got this one for you, which I'm sure every single one of you already know. God, I love this song:
I could continue this list for hours and hours! :)
Now it's your turn. Do you know some great covers or reinterpretations of old or even new songs? Eventually some you like even better than the originals? Let me know and/or post it here! :)
