Guys... I'm being serious with this one. And I deserve all the grief that you wanna give me, but in my opinion Bruno Mars has one good song-
"When I was your Man"
Gimme all the **** you want for that, but if Justin Timberlake is a guilty pleasure for a lot of you, liking a Bruno Mars song isn't that much of a stretch from that. So ok. Original-

I love this cover. Sooo good. You may have to turn up the volume a little bit on it though.

they had me at 300 lb Elvis impersonator fronting a reggae led zeppelin tribute band.

I went to see them many years ago at the coach house in san juan capistrano. outside of a theoretical tom waits impersonator that's pretty much the extent of any dedicated cover band i'll ever see.

****... forgot to do this one yesterday too (was too busy watching the Vikings embarrass themselves)- Not Bruno Mars. But once you hear the original , you'll be surprised who pulls off a very good cover-

Bruno Mars is okay in my book for the excellent unofficial video to "The Lazy Song."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dULOjT9GYdQ

When the video plays, there's a box that says, "Want to see the original version? Click here!" and I think, why on earth would I do that when there is this one?

Because I'm a young'n that doesn't know any better, for the longest time time I actually thought the cover was the original. Both the orignal and the cover are very good. But I think most people actually know the cover more than the original. You'll see below-

Guys... I probably have no credibility with you at this point- But this definitely counts. Original is really good. But the cover is much more popular. This is once again a situation where I thought the cover for the longest time was actually the original.

Once again- This is one where I knew the cover better than the original. I like both versions. I also had no idea that Dionne Warwick was ever a fine piece of a...

By the way- The movie "Dead Presidents" wasn't that good, but it had a great soundtrack.

Actually, Aretha also had a great cover as well-

So if you guys are into EDM, house, electronic music... bla bla bla hatever you wanna call it-
the act that has been all the rage this year is a duo called Disclosure. If you're kinda new to this type of music, and want a place to start, I highly suggest you stream their album "Settle" via youtube or wherever. It's not a mix. It's an album with songs that start/end.

One of the more popular songs from that album is called "White Noise". It's quite a banger, but the album is so good it's actually one of the weaker songs on it IMO. But the way DJs remix each other, re-edit, blablabla was actually done quite well.

The cover was done with male vocals instead of Aluna George (who sings in the original). So I actually like the cover better.

Give both a listen, and seriously listen to the album if you haven't yet. SUCH. A. BANGER!

I've never seen the band being covered present and in tears. Apologies if this was already posted but I just saw this for the first time.

Heart covering Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham on drums. Get's real good at about 3:20 and special at 4:20.

So Sam Smith may have done an equally awesome cover as the one he did for Bruno. Wow! Amazing!
