I like Hole's GDW. But I am one of the few that like Courtney. It wasn't a true rendition of the song, but Clove's twisted take on it.
The worst imo is WP, GYOW. I can't stand them. I also love Corgin & the Pumpkins, but was never way smitten w/ his Landslide. |

Waylon Jennings did two great covers of Fleetwood Mac songs, Rhiannon and Gold Dust Woman.

DITTO!
I usually like most covers (and allow a whole acreage of leeway for the others)...even the Patron Saints Of Pop album has some, well, let's say "interesting" takes on some songs, but I wouldn't fling the dung on 'em. Elton's "Don't Stop" isn't as good as I would have expected, but I wouldn't consider it "awful", either. Ditto with Cyndi Lauper's "You Make Loving Fun". KC & The Sunshine Band's version of "Don't Stop" is pretty good (and really don't care for them as a band) The only "bad" version of "Oh Well" I've heard is by Kenny Wayne Shepard...somebody should've taken a sledgehammer to his fingers for that one. The Melvins do a really cool cover of "Green Manalishi". Leo Kottke does an awesome cover of "World Turning". Dennis Brown (RIP) reggae'd out a laid back version of "Black Magic Woman". Moody Blues guitarist Justin Hayward does a very Moody Blues-ish version of "Man Of The World". The Pointer Sisters (!?!?!?) did a killer version of "Hypnotized". Annie McLoone (ex-Walter Egan band'er) did a great cover of Christine's "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" And, without a doubt, Santana's version of "Black Magic Woman" is the most LUCRATIVE cover of a Fleetwood Mac song ever. Quote:
Willie Nelson's being one of the more recent. Rita Coolidge also covered it on her Love Me Again album from 1978...so hers is one of the first covers of the song. In between those two have been numerous others. I would consider Eva's to be the best of 'em all...even give it a slight edge over Christine's own, as well.

My favorite cover is my own version of Station Man & Steal Your Heart.
I also like Dreams by Letters to Clio.

Well, if we're going down THAT road, I've always thought MY version of "Bermuda Triangle" was better than the original.

Yeah, I quickly learned that since starting this thread, I had no idea so many FM's songs have been covered.
Man, I think Eva cassidys version of SB is the only cover that could bring a grown man to tears. Damn, what emotion she brings to that song! Very moving. I'd be curious to know what Christine thought of her cover---no doubt proud I would say! Quote:

[I haven't heard the cover, but I already resent the review. Lyndsey, eh, didn't just record the song, did he?]
Drowned in Sound review of Darren Haymen album: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3756778 The other three see Hayman perform his own unique versions of Connie Francis standard 'V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.' and, perhaps more impressively, the jaunty 'Holiday Road', previously recorded by Fleetwood Mac's Lyndsey Buckingham but perhaps better known as the theme from National Lampoon's Vacation flick, along with Chas and Dave's 'Margate', which compares the run-down Kent resort to the Costa Brava and naturally beats it hands down. |

I would go with Judas Priest's version of the Green Manalishi. Most metal heads think that Priest wrote that song. When they hear it was a Fleetwood Mac song they start scratching their heads.
Not sure about the worse Fleetwood Mac cover. |
