Your vote for greatest (covers) album

Mine is Annie Lennox "Nostalgia". Not only is she one of the greatest female voices ever, she knows how to make a song her own.

I can possibly see the confusion although it does say covers album, plural not cover album singular which would more indicate the art of the cover.

But I think that would be a good idea for a seperate thread with it clearly worded we are looking for votes on best cover art, although a lot of early Yes stuff and anything by Roger Dean would likely fill the top 20 places imho.....

Why was (covers) in parenthesis in the first place?

Why not just say: Your vote for greatest album of covers?

Bowie’s 1973 Pin Ups must be worth a mention.

Always liked his version of ’Sorrow’.



Sid Vicious’ 1979 Sid Sings is a fun live album.

The Mona Lisa Twins, whom I just discovered while listening to as many versions of Brian Wilson’s "God Only Knows" as I could stand. The Twins---two sisters, true twins, from Austria, and my favorite new musical discovery in a long time---do the best cover of it I’ve ever heard. In one way I like it better than the original by The Beach Boys: no Mike Love. ;-)

I listened to a bunch of The Twins YouTube videos, and they are a trip! They have a bunch of albums listed on Amazon, all real expensive for some reason. Have to do some investigating. I think I’m already in love with the blonde. Apparently John Sebastian likes them a lot, too: he joins them on their video of his Lovin' Spoonful song "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind."
