This is the Top 16 Cover Songs according to me. It was really hard choosing just 16 as there are some great cover songs out there, but I’m pretty happy with this list. I’d say these are my favorites so far. In alphabetical order by artist covering, here are the 16 songs I think freaking rock! Listen/watch HERE or below. Helden by Apocalyptica featuring Till … Continue reading Top 16 Cover Songs
Maybe we’re just suckers for ukulele but we think this cover of Feist’s “1,2,3,4” by Gabriella Bir is just delightful.

NETTWERK is celebrating 30 years with a little help from their friends, their current artists covering artists in their 30 year history with the album “FROM COVER to COVER: 30 YEARS at NETTWERK“. We must say it’s pretty dang brilliant! One of the covers we absolutely love is SCARS ON 45 covering PASSENGER‘s “Let Her Go.” PASSENGER‘s original version is already so emotional we were … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Let Her Go” by Scars on 45
Today’s Track of the Day is actually a cover song. As you know, we love, love, love, SYLVAN ESSO and Boston’s YOHANNES covers their delicate and airy “Coffee.” YOHANNES does a fine cover “Coffee,” giving it an harder feeling that the original. Listen to both below.

SONG: “Let it Ride” ORIGINAL ARTIST: RYAN ADAMS COVER ARTIST: GARETH ASHER This is actually one of my favorite songs by RYAN ADAMS and after hearing the butchering of “Stars Go Blue” by country artist, TIM McGRAW, I am always skeptical of hearing any Ryan song covered. Ryan brings so much emotion and strength to his songs, but knowing GARETH ASHER, I knew this cover would … Continue reading COVER OF THE WEEK: “Let it Ride” by Gareth Asher
I am a bit biased, but 26‘s cover of KATY PERRY‘s “Legendary Lovers” is absolutely wonderful. Even if I am biased, I prefer the cover by 26 over the original. The song sounds meaningful and full of emotion their way and while I listen to Katy’s version, I feel as if it’s a series of bad puns sung by 16 year old. That’s just my opinion. … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Legendary Lovers” by 26
BLOWSIGHT releases their cover of “Swallow” by Germany’s OOMPH! on iTunes, Amazon. BLOWSIGHT recorded the song earlier this year while recording their upcoming fourth studio album. “Our tour with Oomph! was a great success, and we wanted to thank the band for taking us out on the road, so I chose one of my favorite songs by them, we recorded it while adding a few Blowsight-esque finishing touches … Continue reading NEWS: Blowsight Releases New Single “Swallow” Today
In the HOLY FREAKING MOLY of covers, KASABIAN‘s cover of IGGY AZALEA‘s smash “Fancy” is nothing short of brilliant, amazing, awesome and well, 110% better than the original. (personal opinion there) Recorded for BBC Radio 1 in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, listen to it below. Do you think prefer the original or the cover? Tell us in the comments. KASABIAN: Facebook | Twitter | … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Fancy” by Kasabian
The 3rd single from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 winner, JINKX MONSOON, is a fun cover of RADIOHEAD‘s “Creep”. She takes their slow and sad song and kicks it up a notch. It fits her fun, bohemian, vaudevillian attitude. Check out the video below, but we do warn you, if you’re not scared of clowns, you might be after this. THE INEVITABLE ALBUM is available … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Creep” by Jinkx Monsoon
Thursdays mean Throwback Thursday with a twist…a cover plus a throwback. Even though I may not be a KAYNE WEST fan or should I say a big KAYNE WEST fan, I do like his song “Love Lockdown” and the cover by GLASS ANIMALS is pretty solid.
