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. - Metal_Treasure

I mean is a good list but a better title to this list would be "best metal covers of 2010s" - Pato_cargo

I disagree - this list is open to all music genres. Also, this list got to #1 on the Hottest New Lists. Seems people liked it a lot. And obviously nobody cared about your opinion. - Metal_Treasure

Awesome. Pure Emotion.

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

Better than the original. - Solarian

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

Perfection

2014. Dio cover. - Metal_Treasure

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. - Y2K

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

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. - Metal_Treasure

I really dig this cover. Joe Satriani's playing here is awesome, and the whole band is riding on full cylinders. - Gg2000

Yes, they were riding on full cylinders and this is the only correct way to play Deep Purple. Because Deep Purple also rode on full cylinders. - Metal_Treasure

Tame Impala cover.

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

This is actually a really good cover. - The01Bro

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

Amazing cover

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

Cheers for introducing me to this song. Nice cover! - punksnotdead

It sounds cool - PatrickStar3

A cover of a song by the Cranberries.

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

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. - Metal_Treasure

2015.
Rufus & Chaka Khan cover. - Martin_Canine

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

2014.
Rainbow cover - Metal_Treasure

2017.
Ke$ha cover. - Martin_Canine

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! ) - Metal_Treasure

2018.
ABBA cover. - Martin_Canine

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. - Martin_Canine

2012.
Lykke Li cover. - Martin_Canine

2018.
Disney/Bette Midler cover - Martin_Canine

2017.
Grauzone cover. - Martin_Canine

2011.
Cacophony cover (Cacophony is the band of Jason Becker and Marty Friedman, ex-Megadeth) - Metal_Treasure

I like that J. Fla's vocals aren't as digitally butchered as Cabello's, although it does lack the characteristic brass segment and the second verse. Both versions have their pros and cons. - Martin_Canine

2017.
Camila Cabello cover. - Martin_Canine

It's technically a cover because it's originally by Megaherz, but Eisbrecher was founded by former members of Megaherz, namely the singer and keyboarder. - Martin_Canine

2012.
Megaherz cover. - Martin_Canine

The three songs are from a cover album in which German chanson singer Annett Louisan performs ten German language hit songs from all kinds of genres in her style. It's a really good listen, and I'd say she does all songs justice. - Martin_Canine

2016.
Rammstein cover. - Martin_Canine

2015.
Tokio Hotel cover. - Martin_Canine

I really like Tokio Hotel... but Kelly Clarkson nailed it better. Bill Kaulitz's autotuned voice turned the ballad into a dystopian, futuristic tune, fitting the album's tone, but Clarkson is more delicate, and I'd rather hear a minimalistic piano ballad with more natural sounding vocals. - Martin_Canine

Gary Moore and Phil Lynnot cover, 2015 - Metal_Treasure

Awesome Black Sabbath cover (Dio era). - Metal_Treasure

2011, A cover of a Fleetwood Mac song.

It’s from 2009, but I agree it’s a great cover. - 3DG20

2010, A cover of a Duran Duran song.

I love this song! I mean both the original and the cover. Thanks again, Martin. - Metal_Treasure

No problem!

Die Toten Hosen are German legends, Falco was an Austrian legend. Actually weird this cover is so little known. - Martin_Canine

2012.
Falco cover. - Martin_Canine

So so good - EliHbk

Pink Floyd cover, 2018 - Metal_Treasure

Dio cover. - Metal_Treasure

2017.
A very good Annihilator cover. - Metal_Treasure

2017.
Ed Sheeran cover. - Martin_Canine

Blind Guardian cover, 2013.
Blind Guardian went death metal. Melodic death metal. - Metal_Treasure

2018.
Dire Straits cover - Metal_Treasure

The more often I listen to this, the less I like it. Rihanna CAN sing, as she shows on songs like "Love on the Brain" or "Higher" (although said tunes were recorded six years later, maybe she improved), but on here she audibly has to try very hard to hit the notes, and so the performance ultimately comes off as flawed. I initially liked it, because it sounds honest and emotional, but once that wears off, you're better off with the original. - Martin_Canine

2010.
Bob Marley cover. - Martin_Canine
