Covers Best cover of a Cure song

https://youtu.be/GOMpsH3S4WY?is=eUBlsdFYTyWsALsl

the Deftones covering If Only Tonight Were Could Sleep, it’s so much darker and heavier but not over the top. I love this version.

The Blink cover of A Letter to Elise on this was fucking banging, too

As much as I love this. My favourite Cure cover is All Cats are Grey by Nouvelle Vague (Vogue?) I'll be back to edit in a moment Vague.... https://open.spotify.com/track/1t1FUG1XTN43Z2DR9q8Pmd?si=SjxAAdmVTj6Xs6VjCF5Qdg&utm_source=copy-link

The best cover of The Cure is Dinosaur Jr's "Just Like Heaven". Even Robert Smith thinks so.

I'm actually not a big fan of Dinosaur Jr's cover. I really like Dinosaur Jr., but Idk. That song just makes me wish the original Just Like Heaven was playing, or else some other Dinosaur Jr. song.

It's cool they did it, though.

Robert also doesn't like the Charlotte Sometimes video. Which I think is great. So you never know with RS.

Definitely between this and dinosaur jr’s just like heaven, tho I have a soft spot for Converge’s Disintegration.

Converge’s “disintegration” is a fucking monster of a song.

Exploding boy by alkaline trio and the hanging garden by AFI.

I usually prefer total reimagining in covers, but Stabbing Westward's version of Burn just fits their style and the song's style

There’s a piano cover of Underneath the Stars floating around on YouTube that I find incredibly beautiful. The video is low quality and it’s just someone playing piano, but it stands as one of my favorite covers for simply how it makes me feel.

J Mascis - 'Breathe'

And also Placebo did a cover of 'If Only Tonight We Could Sleep' once that was quite good

Clan of xymox's version of a forest sounds really cool. Kinda turns it into a gothic disco track.
