From past post it seems like we have lots of members who really like music. Thought it would be fun to see what some of you think are the best remakes of songs of all time are. I’ll start with three that come to mind for me.
The Sound of Silence – Disturbed – Simon and Garfunkel
All Along the Watch Tower – Jimi Hendrix – Bob Dylan
Knocking on Heavens Door – Guns N Roses – Bob Dylan
Funny that two of mine are remakes of Bob Dylan songs
Let’s See some of yours
Tools remake of zepplins no quarter. Just listened to that making breakfast.
Iron Maiden, “Cross-Eyed Mary” (Jethro Tull)
Simple man by shinedown, and wish you were here by avendged sevenfold
Tesla – signs , the highwomen- the chain
Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding’s Respect.
Johnny Cash – 9 inch nails Hurt.
-J.
Careless Whisper – Seether – George Michael
Heart-Shaped Box – Evanescence – Nirvana
Black Crowes version of Otis Reddings Hard to Handle.
-J.
Heroes – David Bowie – MotorHead
Train – Yardbirds – Arrowsmith
Crazy – Willy Nelson – Patsy Cline

Train In Vain. Clash/Annie Lennox
Pinball Wizard. The Who/Elton John
The Man Who Sold The World. David Bowie/Nirvana
I Want You To Want Me. Cheap Trick/Dwight Yoakam
Johnny Cash – Hurt
Joe Cocker – can’t find my way home
Joe did a lot of covers. Just enjoy the emotion he puts into them.
Teslas live version of Signs
Disturb- sound of silence
I like hearing both versions of Blue on Black – Kenny Wayne Shepherd and five finger death punch
Some of the best covers I’ve heard are from Zac Brown Band. Not only Zac, the entire band is so talented and at concerts a lot of them step up to the mic and do incredible covers that are not recorded and released
Johnny Cash – 9 inch nails Hurt.

After his incredible career, that last album is so amazingly emotional
Never was a fan of remakes. I get it, not mad at em for it.
My genres seem to be more remixes then remakes.
I’ve got nada
Turn the Page – Metallica – Bob Seger
I’ve listened to this 100 times. https://youtu.be/1gX1EP6mG-E
It sounds good on nice speakers.
Where did you sleep last night – Nirvana – Lead Belly
Stone cold crazy – Metallica – Queen
Dancing days – Stone temple pilots – Led Zeppelin
White Rabbit. Jefferson Airplane, Pink.
Van Halen version of Kinks – You Really Got Me.
-J.
Johnny Cash – 9 inch nails Hurt.
Zombie-bad wolves-cranberries
Holy diver-killswitch engage-dio
House of the rising sun-five finger death punch-the animals
My favorite would probably be Simple Man when sung by Shinedown. That dude has some pipes.
Some not so mainstream covers/remakes (some are more of a cover than a remake) that I really like:
In The Air Tonight -Blacktop Mojo
Hotel California -Gipsy Kings
Ain’t No Grave -Charlie Parr (studio/record version)
Mad World – Gary Jules (live version)
Minnie the Moocher -Brothers Moving
Ain’t No Sunshine -Shawn James
That’s How Strong My Love Is -Ryan Bingham (the 11 year old studio version)
Take It Easy -Zach Bryan
There’s a band called Apocalyptica that has some awesome remakes redone with classical instruments. Their remake of Battery (Metallica) is kick ass, among others.
I also get a kick out of a band called Steve ‘n’ Seagulls, a bunch of goofballs that do rock remakes in a bluegrass style sound lol November Rain will get you started down that wormhole 
Here’s the In The Air Tonight cover, the first 45 seconds is talking and bs-ing, but damn it’s damn good for some dudes nobody has ever heard of.
They have some stuff done with much higher production values, but I love this one.
Patti Smith “Smells like teen spirit” Nervana
Dear Tick “Pale blue eyes”
Velvet Underground
Not a cover but sung by
Patti Smith at Bob Dylans Nobel piece ceremony
