post your favorite music vidoes



NIN’s songwriter, Trent Reznor prolifically responded to Cash’s “Hurt” cover with: “I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, and it really then, wasn’t my song anymore.” There was no warning that Cash would be covering “Hurt.” Reznor said,

“Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive.”

Reznor respectfully added in an NME interview that the cover meant more to him than winning something like a Grammy. The cover and video were recorded and filmed shortly before Cash’s death. Popular opinion across almost every genre of music is that “Hurt” by Cash, is the best cover of all time.
 

I feel like we need a new thread for best covers, but I think mine are:

Johnny Cash, Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)
D'Angelo, Feel Like Making Love (Roberta Flack)
Isaac Hayes, Walk on By (Dionne Warwick)
Jimi Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Jackson Browne, These Days (Nico)*
Maxwell, This Woman's Work (Kate Bush)
Kurt Vile (with John Prine), How Lucky (John Prine)

What do y'all think?

(* technically Browne's song, but recorded first by Nico)

top cover: "Jealous Guy" by Donny Hathaway

re: Isley Brothers cover, love "Spill the Wine"

Man, I love Donny Hathaway. And James Carr. And they both had some pretty severe mental health issues that limited their output.
 
I am sensing a theme from me, but here is one of the best covers ever:

For some reason, this record always brings back vivid memories of Winston-Salem summers. Is there a weak track on it? Seems perfect.

I really like covers that try to reinvent the song. Here is Sebadoh doing Nick Drake:

Gloria doesn't really transform the song, but I like it better.

The original video is just amazing though. Perfect in every way (other than the naming).
