Hound Dog by Elvis Presley, the original was done by Big Mama Thornton a few years earlier. Both awesome versions. Another by Elvis is Are You Lonesome Tonight which was originally done by Charles Hart in 1927. Oscar Grogan also did a version in 1927. Al Jolson also did a great version of it in 1950. The earlier versions wernt up to much, but the Jolson and Elvis versions were classic. Great music never dies.

I absolutely love cover songs. Gives me a taste of a different version but Same song.

My favorite so far is Ed Sheeran's Version of "Baby one more time"
I think it was originally sung by Britney Spears

I just love Ed Sheerans especially with the use of guitar all through

my favorite cover is Alex Aiono - your ways + mine by Bazzi, his cover brings more emotions than the original songs

I LOVE Disturbed's cover of "Sound of Silence" originally by Simon and Garfunkel. I'm not a huge fan of covers, but that one is amazing!

An interesting coverof two songs, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis and Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins later recorded on Tops records, a cheap budget label from the 50's. The artist was Hank or Thumper Jones, he later became known as George Jones.

One of my favorite covers is "All I want to do is make love to you" covered by Halestorm. The original is by Heart but man that cover is really amazing.

I love Kurt Hugo Schneider's chanel on youtube as the covers he makes are always superb. My favorite cover on his chanel is Piece by Piece which I believe was sung by Kelly Clarkson.

I like Johnny Cash's version much better than the Nine Inch Nails' song.

I like "The Sound of Silence" covered by Disturbed. It's almost as good as Simon and Garfunkel's original.

I have two.

The Sound of Silence -- original by Simon and Garfunkel; excellent cover by Disturbed

Bad Company -- original by, well, Bad Company; cover by Five Finger Death Punch

Such an odd crossover but it is incredible!! The Johnny Cash version is so haunting and his voice adds a whole different layer to the emotion of the song

My favorite cover song would be Sound of Silence by Disturbed, originally performed by Simon & Garfunkel.

I love wild crossover covers the most and was really into the "Punk Goes.." albums released about 10 years ago. I also must admit that I prefer the Eva Cassidy version of Time After Time!
