[Taz trooper]

At least as good as the original?

 

[SojiOkita]

At least as good as the original?

Very good cover indeed.
I also liked the one by London Grammar on the first page (link is broken but easy to find).

A very different one:

 

[rloewy]

Not a standard cover, it's a mashup of A-Wa's "Hana Mash Hu Al Yaman" with Linkin Park's "Numb/Encore"

(I do not speak Arabic, but if you check the official video of this song (not the mashup) on Youtube with captions - it gives you a translation).

Here's a fun jam. Haim covering Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well

 

[Keeth101]

Here's a fun jam. Haim covering Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well

Fun jam indeed, but I bet that most of the audience had no idea at all what the song was or even that someone else did it never mind who did it (Do any of them even know who Fleetwood Mac is?)
Then again, I could be wrong

Original

Cover / Reworking

 

[ex machina]

Nicely done cover of Jethro Tull's Hymn 43

I would think you're right. But I had no idea who Haim was until a few weeks ago, so I guess that evens it out a bit.

Nicely done cover of Jethro Tull's Hymn 43

@ex machina Damn, nice and then some. That's one of my favorite Tull songs. I just A/B'd them. If I wasn't biased toward the original recording I think I'd say I prefer the cover (sorry Ian). A bit more bluesy and harder rocking; guitar a bit more forward. Thanks!

 

[Aushiker]

Here you go ...

I suspect you would be wrong if the 20+ girls in this family are anything to go by. "Old" music is very much in.
