How can you post those YouTube URL's and actually see the video displayed? Doesn't work for me here. So I'll wait with posting any actual video in this topic until I know how to do it properly.

Let me just say, while waiting for instructions,
- Israëli band Salem made a fantastic chilling version of 1938 poem "S'brennt" by Mordechai Gvirtig. The poem and chant has become a cry for help first and after the holocaust became a hymn sung at memorials for those who died in the Shoah. Making a metal version of such emotionally loaded song is risky, making a video with concentration camp footage in addition was enough to even make the Israëli parliament debate whether the song should be allowed or not. They opted to allow it in the end, although the video is not intended for sensitive souls...

- fellow Israelis Orphaned Land often used very old chants and poems in their songs. "Sapari" is based upon a 400 years old poem written in Yemenite Hebrew by rabbi Saadia.

- Angelzoom made a very soothing cover of Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous rumours" ; better than the Original, by far

- Coil made an amazingly gloomy and eerie cover of Tainted Love, they slowed it down to the minimum and added funeral church bell sounds. The cover actually would be too gloomy for the average funeral but it works out incredibly well. The video is filled with occult references including a citation by Aleister Crowley and several symbols used in Thelema.

More to come, but I'll await until I know how to properly post YouTube videos. As for the ones named: a simple search on YouTube will guide you to the videos :)

You have to use the full URL from the address bar instead of the shortened 'share' url, and when you paste the url into the box for the youtube link make sure you take the 's' out of the https://... before posting. That should do it.

Social Distortion is the best. I used to be in a punk scene when I was younger, and most of the people I knew didn't like them, but I always did. They have some great songs. I haven't listened to them for years, but now I'm going to have to dig up some of there stuff, haha.

Cover songs can be hit or miss for me. Often times performers will use one to pad out their live set due to a lack of original songs. Several years ago though I was looking up Youtube videos of Fleet Foxes live and I came upon this video. About a year later the people in the video released original material under the band name First Aid Kit, who've since put out three albums (also are fantastic live). Probably the only example of a cover song that's sparked my initial interest in a performer.

They also did a really good cover of Jack White's Love Interrupted recently.

I still prefer the Bon Iver version, but I was pretty impressed the first time I saw this. I think she was only 15 or 16 (?) for this one.

Love this one as well. It's The Strokes, Eddie Vedder, and Josh Homme covering the Marvin Gaye classic.
