Post Recent Great, Creative Cover Versions of Songs

[LinkedMusicians]

Let’s make this an epic thread of great cover versions of well-known songs. Bands that take a song that we know and make it into their own. Keep it to recent covers, from the last 15 years. Even better if it’s an unsigned band, a gem that isn’t widely recognized doing the cover.

English folk singer (and composer of my favourite album of the 21st century ‘Songs From The Floodplain’) Jon Boden’s remarkable reworking of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds Of Love’

I could list so many Pomplamoose covers…

Harder, Better Faster, Stronger is one to check out, and their cover of Don’t Start Now leaves Dua Lipa in the dust.

My favorite though is Bulletproof.  The original by LaRoux sounds like a teenage girl screaming over a video game in comparison.

 

As far as their mashups, there’s the Jamiroquai/Bee Gees one, and “Pumped Up Kicks/Everything in its Right Place”, and of course “Lovely Day/Good as Hell” makes me smile
