Brilliant Covers of Boss Songs

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

 

[Martin Alvito]

The canonical one is Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", which is so good you probably don't even know it's a cover. More or less retired the original.

Johnny Cash did a whole album of good ones from unlikely sources late on.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Ngl I'm a bit partial to this one

Great shout this. This is actually one of my favourite covers of all time

This Flying Pickets cover is actually on my playlist to be played at my funeral lol

I first played this thinking "how very dare you even try to cover this."

I was wrong

That's one of the worst things I've ever heard.

 

[John BCN]

Patti Smith Group - certainly a "Boss" cover

 

[chrismpw]

That's one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Well I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong

I much prefer Hendrix's rendition of Johnny B Goode over the original too.
