I guess I have to include this, almost as good as the RS version:

That's dreadful! This is a bit better...

Johnny Winter had a few EXCELLENT Stones covers.





His version of Silver Train surpasses the Stones'.

Albert King did a very cool "Honky Tonk Women" but I couldn't find it.

"Not available in my country" indeed. But thanks anyway!

I wasn't familiar with Ryder's work, but this weekend I 'discovered' this one, I like the heavy guitars...

Just for you SwayStones, I've made this video which is unquestionably the worst cover version of any Jagger-Richard song mainly because it's easily the worst song they ever wrote!

Give Me Your Hand – Teddy Green (Piccadilly 7N 35173, March 20 1964)

The story goes that this song was originally offered to the Beatles by way of thanks for them giving “I Wanna Be Your Man” to the Stones for their second single. Apparently the Beatles said that they’d record it if the Stones recorded another one of their songs, namely “One After 909”. Neither band took up the offer and it’s something of a mystery how “Give Me Your Hand” should turn up as the ‘b’ side to song called “Alone” by an obscure singer who had played a bit part in two Cliff Richard movies, “The Young Ones” and “Summer Holiday”.
The song itself is obviously an “answer” to “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and is, without doubt, one of the worst songs that Mick and Keith ever wrote and Teddy’s performance is suitably excruciatingly awful!
It’s no wonder that it never formed part of the Beatles’ repertoire!
Nobody bought the record.
Teddy Green went on to become a successful choreographer.







"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

kewl thread Sway

I quite like this one

EDIT: PS: colonial can you cfm this is the Aussie NZ band King Harvest?
Nothing to do with the US band by the same name and of the same era?

swedish groups bootjacks tell me

the shakers out of time / sing this all together

blueset midnight rambler

good covers

good one but it's Willie Dixon's original, though.

Watch lots of Rolling Stones covers at:

http://stonescovers.blogspot.com/

This has got to be among the worst ever...

Here's one that polarises Stones' fans.

This may not be in everyone's taste but I like the energy of this version recorded in 1982. Ebba Grön was a Swedish punk band who rather paid tribute to Rolling Stones than the Ramones.





And Alex Chilton's cover of Jumpin' Jack Flash from 1970 is another favorite:





And the worst? There are so many bad covers out there. I just try to forget.

Susan Boyle..Wild Horses

The best version of Wild Horses for sure

Hey ,cool !


There were many covers I had never heard about .

Deltics, a special thank to you
Believe it or not ,I had never heard about this story ....

Sway,you really don´t want me to post some examples from Meat Loaf and Bon Jovi,do you ?

to me, the best cover of JJF is Johnny Winter's live version. If you want guitars, then you've got them !

My favourite of Chris Farlowe's (many) Jagger-Richard covers...

Come On
Best is Johnny Thunders in 'Play with fire'
and worst is ??? is there a cover of 'Angie'? that have to be the worst...

Come on,Come On ......it's a bit too sloppy but you can't tell it's a bad cover ...





Anyway ,There ain't a band that comes close to the Stones ....

Mmm to close to Stones version to be intressting...Listen to Johnny:





2 1 2 0

Interesting, though the problem with Johnny is that his "singing" was even worse than Ronnie's...

The Stones themselves.

I like this one...

Well, I wouldn't want to sound negative but Amsterdamned is right .....wasn'it true sometimes ?
They gave us the best ,much much better than other bands ever could,but the worst as well .



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
