greatest rolling stones cover of all time.

the pagans: heart of stone

Dead Moon - Play With Fire

there's a cool french-chick version of "paint it black" by marie laforet, called "marie douceur marie colere."

tipsy 110% on the mark.

re: Satisfaction

also re: marie laforet

donna lynn, "i'd much rather be with the girls" -- probably my fave non-stones version of a jagger/richards song, and hopefully not disqualified from this thread simply because she recorded it before they did.

Devo & Cat Power's versions of "Satisfaction"

on an old mojo CD, Beth Orton and Ryan Adams cover "Brown Sugar" and it's pretty much the best thing either of them did (post-Whiskeytown)

"Starfucker," Joan Jett
"Citadel," Redd Kross

dr. dre remix of "miss you"
neptunes remix of "sympathy for the devil"

cat power's "satisfaction" otm. also, pussy galore's versions of "sweet virginia" and "sweet black angel" are worth checking out.

Stay the fuck away from Bette Midler.

claudine longet - let's spend the night together

vashti - some things just stick in your mind

nash the slash - 19th nervous breakdown

epics - blue turns to grey (i didn't actually realise this was a stones song til just now)

Melanie (yep, THAT Melanie): Ruby Tuesday

beasts of bourbon - cocksucker blues

todd tamanend clark "2,000 light years from home"

Chris Farlowe, and the Ramones - Out of Time (not together, unfortunately)

Flying Burrito Bros. - Wild Horses

Rotary Connection - Salt of the Earth

Can't do without this one:

For those with www.dimeadozen.org accounts, there are several torrents of artists performing RS songs live - I believe it's called the 'covers project' ...

there's a great cover of "street fighting man" on one of scott seward's mixtapes, but i don't know who does it, it sort of sounds like commander cody and his lost planet airmen or something

i forgot
josefus - gimme shelter

The Feelies: Paint It Black

The Modettes: Paint It Black

The Redding Satisfaction clip is out of this world.

The Who - "The Last Time" and "Under My Thumb"

tipsy mothra, OTM.

Rod Stewart - "Sreet Fighting Man"

SSS- I love the Who, but those covers aren't so great. Weren't they slapped together to get the Stones bail money after the "Mars bar" raid?

Entwistle's not even on them, he was on holiday with the missus at the time

Merry Clayton - Gimme Shelter. Backing singer takes centre stage and brings the soul horns with her.

Sandie Shaw - Sympathy For The Devil

SSS- I love the Who, but those covers aren't so great. Weren't they slapped together to get the Stones bail money after the "Mars bar" raid?

They were recorded quickly, but Moon's still Moon (i.e., untouchably brilliant), and "Thumb" has a nice fuzzed-out solo.

Slimy Adenoid and the Pablums - Under My Gums
(LAFMS orthodontal themed Under My Thumb cover)

The best Stones cover I know is Ananda Shankar's Jumping Jack Flash - genius.

Alex Harvey, Jumping Jack Flash

The Spinanes did a really neat 7" (still not on CD as far as I know) where they cover She Smiled Sweetly and All Sold Out. The latter especially is very good. Cover art is a tribute to Between The Buttons too.

BTW, that Laibach cover mentioned above (well, there's like 6 of them on the CD...I prefer the one w/girl singers and samples from Norman Mailer's Playboy interview) is truly fantastic.

take your pick of "Paint it Black" covers here: http://www.discogs.com/release/732470

wow tipsy - totally OTM with the otis.

blind boys of alabama - i just want to see his face

Man, I have to hear this. I'll bet it's good.

I like Clarence Gatemouth Brown's version of "Ventilator Blues"
I don't like it as much as the original, of course.

the dirtbombs, 'no expectations' - starts interpolating the beat from 'sympathy' about halfway through!

One of my favorite covers is Thelma Houston's "Jumpin Jack Flash". Rawer than Aretha's version.

Thought I saw a more recent thread for Stones covers, but I swear I couldn't find it...

Some of these have been mentioned but here's some good and/or interesting ones:

"Satisfaction": Blue Cheer, Guitar Wolf, Devo, Cat Power
"Citadel": the Damned
"Let's Spend the Night Together": David Bowie
"Jumping Jack Flash": Peter Frampton, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Winter
"Ruby Tuesday": Lucky Sperms

Not a challops I swear, but that recent Susan Boyle cover of White Horses was really good.

Ghost, "Live With Me"

I really liked that Susan Boyle song too!

I mentioned this when the thread started but here's the YouTube link. Just amazing.

Chris Farlowe: Think

It came out before Aftermath, so it's technically not a cover, but still great.

Townes Van Zandt's cover of "Dead Flowers"!

Ghost, "Live With Me"

Girlschool, "Live With Me"
Didi Benami, "Play With Fire"

Alright, if Susan Boyle and Didi Benami are getting mentions, download Siobhan Magnus' "Paint It Black" too.

For real - The Ghost cover is hellacious

Band of Susans did a very fine version of Child Of The Moon for a Peel session that saw official release.

i haven't heard there version, but "2000 man" seems like such a bizarre stones choice for them to cover

KISS, i mean

It's actually pretty good.

always had a soft spot for this gender-fuck:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeYtyw8vgn4

esp the coda-outro.

tho tbh would be much doper with MickT and Keef in open tuning.

Half Japanese's 45-second "Paint It Black" from the Miniatures comp. "Sounds like it was recorded on a $2 cassette machine placed inside the bass drum" says the liner notes, accurately.

My favourite ever is 'Sway', by Alejandro Escavedo

gotta second the Come version of "I Got the Blues", so killer

I listed Beatles yesterday. Here are the Stones.

Surprised I didn't see Television Satisfaction or Otis Redding on the same.

Sisters of Mercy did Gimme Shelter.

On the thread at least but did think that Television one was widely circulated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq2zNhhL-l0

The best Stones cover I know is Ananda Shankar's Jumping Jack Flash

Agreed. His EP of Elvis covers is even better!
I can't believe nobody mentioned the David Whittaker arrangement of 'The Last Time'. It's clearly Richard Ashcroft's favorite.

Seems unlikely, but agree with the praise for Susan Boyle's take on Wild Horses. She really brings the heartache to it.

Alfred includes Lindsey Buckingham's She Smiled Sweetly. Another good one from Buckingham is I Am Waiting (from Under the Skin).

Johnny Winter's version of "Silver Train" is pretty hot. He plays some killer slide on that one.

Damn this is groovy. Thank you again German TV of the 70s.

Hmmmm. Let's see what I have sitting around, shall we?

There's a nice EP from some ways back of Spanish-language garage covers of early Stones songs- Davila 666 (I think they have a new album coming out - the advance single is nice) do a good "She's a Rainbow"

Ellen Warshaw has a good take on "Sister Morphine" on one of the "Wayfaring Strangers" Numero comps.

I don't know if it counts since Jagger/Richards wrote it for them, but I like "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind" by Dick and Dee Dee a lot.

Ruth Copeland's "Gimme Shelter" (recorded with members of Funkadelic) is fucking amazing.

Pascal Comelade's toy-instruments take on "Paint it Black" is one I like. Marie Laforet also does a good version.

I have a nice take of "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Chambers Brothers I got from Youtube, which claims it is "Live, 1965" - one hell of a feat for sure.

I am _extremely_ fond of Ryuchi Sakamoto's version of "We Love You", the only song I know to feature both Robert Wyatt and Brian Wilson on vocals.

"Satisfaction" is just a fucking all-time song and so there are a lot of versions of it I love. Beyond Otis, DEVO, the Residents, Television, there are also versions I like by Trad Gras och Stenar, the 13th Floor Elevators, James Chance & the Contortions, Stump, Rocket From the Tombs... it's just a really good song, OK?

Ruth Copeland's "Gimme Shelter" (recorded with members of Funkadelic) is fucking amazing.

Fuck yeah! I kinda think it smashes the Stones' own version (which I nonetheless love).

Blanche - "Child of the Moon"

Surprised this hasn't been covered more often, as it's a fairly obscure (by Stones standards) b-side.
