I like to search for a song I like on iTunes and buy as many different versions as I can find. Bluegrass versions, acapella versions, versions sung by people of a different gender, versions in different genres, etc. I bought seven different versions of Mandolin Rain last night, and I'm loving them all. A ban I've never heard of before called Quietdrive does a rock version that's pretty nice.

Anyone else do this?

Anyone have any suggestions?

[tamabonotchi]

I also do that. Finding covers, acapella, etc. The Vitamin String Quartet do instrumental versions of various rock and pop songs and it's great to listen to while studying or trying to block other noise out for reading.

[ginainthekingsroad]

I like folk songs. So it's very very easy to come up with many different arrangements in different genres.

Oh! And for a while I had like five versions of the "Alabama Song" which is from The Rise & Fall of the City of Mahagonny, although most people associate it with the Doors.

[kaijinscendre]

I don't buy them but I love listening to covers of songs done by the opposite sex of the original singer. :)

There is a lot of trash (as in, badly done or just shitty quality), but Soundcloud sometimes has a lot f cover versions - both amateur and professional ones.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorta. I'll dig up live versions, acoustic versions, yadda yadda. But I don't like karaoke versions, the 10+ techno mixes, and so on.

[thezmage]

Well, I don't buy them without at least listening to the sample, and I don't even listen to karaoke versions.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yeah? I always listen to samples of any album or song I consider. I even give the techno remixes a listen, but usually they're a no-sale for me.

[carma-bee.livejournal.com]

funny, the only quietdrive song i have is their cover of time after time by cyndi lauper

[(Anonymous)]

My first thought to this secret was 'so, they're collecting copies of Time After Time, eh?', because it's totally my only song by them too, ha.

[(Anonymous)]

I collect covers of Running Up That Hill. Oddly, I hate the original.

[al28894]

I do this most of the time with Touhou game tunes. The originals are trumpet-like instrumentals but the fanartists remixed it into every genre imaginable from hard rock to freakin' ORCHESTRA CHOIRS. yay!

[callmewing]

I've sort of wound up with a small collection of different versions of the main Skyrim theme, "Dragonborn". Even one by Tay Zonday.

In my internet days of my youth file sharing services like soulseek, limewire, kazaa, even napster were awesome for this, so I definitely did the illegal version of this when I was young. This will give away my anonymity to anyone who knows me who reads this, but I had a collection of 12+ covers of Wuthering Heights as a teenager - a several of which were actually unlistenable. But I loved them all. I also had several covers of 'Can't Hurry Love' up 'til about a year ago.

If it doesn't bother you to do so and you really wanted a big collection you could rip the mp3s off youtube covers you like.

Also, you should get Quietdrives's cover of Time After Time.

[riddian]

Usually if it is a song I really reeeeeeally like I kind of have a One True Version and all the others just feel off. But I love buying Vitamin String Quartet versions of songs, and my friend found a bluegrass tribute to Linkin Park that is completely hilarious.

Last week, I downloaded:

the Regina Spektor version
the Lindsey Mendez version (in 7/8 time!) and
the Vitamin String Quartet version (instrumental!)

of "Us."

So I totally get what you mean!
