I don’t think this is better than the original, but I really like it.

That is such a close call. Disturbed did it justice. Similar, Bad Wolves does a great job with “Zombie” originally by the Cranberries.

At last!! The season has started. How great did Travis Steele's new team look today (against Oakland)? Wow. What a crazy year 2020 has been. This is not exactly a cover, but definitely an example of how awesome our country is (and it's impact on the rest of the world). Happy Thanksgiving to all. Be safe and healthy.

Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That:

Tom Jones has done some pretty good covers lately, including Burning Down the House with the lead singer from The Cardigans, but I kind of like this one best.



Also, had no idea Midnight Train to Georgia (one of the best pop songs ever) was a remake. It was originally a country song called Midnight Plane to Houston, then changed to the current title and sung by Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy, before Gladys Knight and the Pips made it a classic.

Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That:

Agree! I found Nikki Bluhm and the Gramblers a few years back. Check the "hit me with your best shot" video.

Another version of the Hall and Oates Classic

Quite a list of covers and very talented. I've even dug into the Phil Collins/Genesis covers. Thanks for the post!

Not necessarily better than the original by the great Glen Campbell, but what an interesting, out-of-left field cover of Wichita Lineman by Black Pumas:

Dave Edmunds cover of Elvis Costello’s Girls Talk is better than the original by far.

Sorry but strongly disagree with this. Wasn’t Edmunds the producer for the original song?
