Favorite cover of a Fleetwood Mac song?

[Johnny Stew]

I like Matchbox 20's "Never Going Back Again," Tonic's "Second Hand News," Goo Goo Dolls' "I Don't Want To Know," and Sister Hazel's "Gold Dust Woman," from the 'Legacy' CD... but I could live without the rest.

I also love Hole's rendition of "Gold Dust Woman," and Cyndi Lauper's "You Make Loving Fun" is pretty fun too.

The Dixie Chicks' best version of "Landslide," was the one they did on the Divas Las Vegas broadcast, WITH Stevie.

[Merf]

Hole's "Gold Dust Woman," hands down. No seconds.

I LOVE that version.

[DeadliestPoison]

Hole - GDW
Talullah - Oh Daddy (*ducks* I love this song in any form)
matchbox 20 - NGBA
Tantric - The Chain
CVB - Storms, Brown Eyes

[GypsySorcerer]

Eva Cassidy's cover of "Songbird" is gorgeous.

[Mari]

Whiskeytown! how could I forget that one, it's great!

[CarneVaca]

Dang, I didn't know Whiskeytown did Dreams. Is it on an album? If not, how can I get it?

[Mari]

I can mail you the mp3? it's about 5 mb.
I don't think it's on any official album, it's a live performance.

I've never heard most of the ones Chilid posted! Very interesting stuff.

My fave cover...uhhh...I've heard some really bad ones. LOL

I do like Goo Goo Dolls' version of IDWK and Santana's Black Magic Woman.

[iamstevienicks]

I love the Corrs version of dreams *sorry*

Would love to hear the pointer sisters do Hypnotized!!

[Les]

I really like Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" and Leo Kottke's "World Turning".

There is also a really nice cover of "Never Going Back Again" on an album by a guy named Colin Reid, the vocals are by Eddi Reader (of Fairground Attraction).

Yep. They recorded a studio version for their Hell Bent For Leather album that was released in 1979. Their Best Of... album even leads off with it. I seem to recall that there are two or three different live versions by JP from various tours.

Yeah, I'd have to say that those two are close to my favorite covers, too. They're close to being as good, if not better, than the originals.

I am sooo glade I have been spared hearing a few of these. I can't imagine anyone but Stevie singing Rhiannon and Gypsy. No offense to anyone who likes these covers, I have songs by all artists that I can't imagine being covered by other people.

Anyways ones that I do like:
Dreams by the Corrs
Songbird by Eva Cassidy (what a voice)
Landslide by DC (only b/c other ppl now must admit they like a fleetwood mac song, otherwise by brain has trouble not hearing Stevie sing it since the only image that comes to mind is of S&L in concert performing it).
The rest I haven't heard, although I would like to hear GDW by Courtney Love.

[Jason T.]

My favorite cover would be the Dixie Chicks' remake of "Landslide," granted nothing could overpower Stevie Nicks' version, but they did a great job with it nevertheless. That entire CD [Home] is great. I never thought I would be saying that about a country release...who knew?

[David]

Mah fav'rite would have tah be the Gold Dust Woman from "Patron Saints of Pop" -- ad libbed lyrics & all.
