Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like Heaven

Great cover of the Cure classic that packs some surprises.

• Original Artist: The Cure

Nirvana - The Man who sold the world

I am convinced Bowie wrote the song for them. The whole MTV unplugged features even more of my favourite covers.

• Original Artist: David Bowie

Toots & the Maytals - Country Roads

Great version, always fun to listen to. Will confuse your friends.

• Original Artist: John Denver

Amy McDonald - Dancing in the Dark

Works extremely well with her voice.

• Original Artist: Bruce Springsteen

Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

The original is much less popular than Kim Carnes 1981 cover, and for a good reason, because this cover brings a huge amount of energy into the song.

The Ramones - Do you Wanna Dance

Has the same youthful undertones as the Beach Boys original, but brings more forward momentum to the table.

• Original Artist: the Beach Boys

Sonic Youth - Superstar

Very beautiful cover that really underlines the creepyness of the original lyrics.

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Pretty much THE cover song.

• Original Artist: Bob Dylan

Lush - Hey Hey Helen

Fantastic Mixture of Shoegaze/Dreampop and Pop, a combination where Lush really shines.

• Original Artist: ABBA

Nico - These Days

Jackson Brownes mature lyrics are a much better fit for Nicos more honest and raw Version.

• Original Artist: Jackson Browne

Joan Baez - 500 Miles

Maybe the most beautiful song of all time.

Beach Boys - Sloop John B

Fits very well on Pet Sounds, the album features similar lyrical themes to “thats not me” for example. Definetly a standout song on the album and in their entire Discography.

Seu Jorge - Starman

Definetly check out the whole album. Bowies songs work well in portugese and with the laid-back style.

• Original Artist: David Bowie

Fishbone - Freddies Dead

The Curtis Mayfield classic in Fishbone style.

• Original Artist: Curtis Mayfield

Blaggers ITA - House of the Fascist Scum

Good Punk Cover.

The Specials - Rudy, a Message to you

Nice Ska Cover.

• Original Artist: Dandy Livingstone

James Blake - A case of you

Beautiful Cover. Give it a listen if you like the Joni Mitchell Original

• Original Artist: Joni Mitchell

311 - Love Song

Lacks some of the emotion of the original, but is still a mad chill cover of a great song.

• Original Artist: The Cure
