Top 10 Cover Songs of the 2010s

2013.
Excellent Black Sabbath cover.
Havok are a new(er) thrash metal band. No disrespect to Black Sabbath but I like the cover better than the original. Love that double bass drumming they added.
By the way, Children of the Grave is my fave Black Sabbath song with Ozzy.

2015.
Simon & Garfunkel cover. For me this is a good cover but not excellent. The best thing about the original are the vocal harmonies. Unfortunately, David D. skipped namely the best part.

Disturbed may not be the best band but this is great, even Ill say that

#9? Best cover EVER, vote this baby to the top!

I think this cover is solid.

Everyone needs to listen to this cover of Fleetwood Mac, it is one of the most chilling songs I've ever heard. It cuts very deep.

2014. Falco cover by a German metal band. The original is sick! And the cover, too!
The song refers to Mozart.

Deep Purple cover. It's a live version that was so good that was included in the tribute album "Re-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head." Chickenfoot is the band of Joe Satriani.

I really dig this cover. Joe Satriani's playing here is awesome, and the whole band is riding on full cylinders.

Tame Impala cover.

Better than 100% of Taylor Swift's songs about nothing interesting.

2018. A really good cover. Originally by Toto, 1982

This is actually a really good cover.

Better than Toto's actually.

2014. Bee Gees rock/metal cover. Love it. Play the sample to hear the vocals without the original falsetto. Sounds better to me.

Cheers for introducing me to this song. Nice cover!

It sounds cool

It's like a tribute to Dolores O'Riordan who died in 2018 at 46. She was the singer for The Cranberries. R.I.P. Dolores.

This is probably the best cover this year, and just so so good anyways

A cover of a song by the Cranberries.

2015.
Rufus & Chaka Khan cover.

2012.
Deep Purple cover. It was on the album "Re-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head."

2014.
Rainbow cover

That's very interesting. I know Meryl Streep sang ABBA in the film Mamma Mia but still. And Cher still has it at her age! Amazing.
Thanks for this song, Martin! (and for all other songs you added to this list! )

€"When I called you last night from Glaaasgow”

Both versions were big hits in Austria, with this cover version being slightly more successful, topping the charts while the original peaked at number two. Both get lots of airplay now (the original version in The Magician Remix).

I personally prefer the cover version on any level. Vocals, overall guitar based style, whistle segment.

2012.
Lykke Li cover.

2018.
Disney/Bette Midler cover
