Well? What is it?

All along the watchtower by hendrix as to be my all time favorite


with Lacuna Coils "enjoy the silence" by Depeche Mode as my current favorite.


In flames cover of murders in the rue morgue was really good too.

Does anyone here have a favorite cover song? Cure my boredom people!

Young Man Blues, Covered by the Who.
Written by Mose Allison.

Turn the Page, covered by Metallica. All Along the Watchtower was great, though. So was the Stevie Ray version of Little Wing.

Oh, wait, my real favorite:
Simple Man, covered by Shinedown. The lead singer for Shinedown is really amazing, and I truly believe that they do a far better job on the song than Skynyrd did. Partly because they made it acoustic. Here are some Shinedown videos (http://shinedown.com/_media.html) (including SimpleMan).

Young Man Blues, Covered by the Who.

Ah that is a good cover.

I also enjoyed Phishs cover of good times bad times by led zeppelin.

I also very much like many songs Johnny Cash has covered.

Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" is particularly cool.

Disturbed's cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis.

this is the newest best cover song ever....

Disturbed's cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis.
I heard that recently, I think. It's quite good.

Leadbelly's version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" as covered by Nirvana, or another one originally by Leadbelly, "Black Betty" as covered by Ram Jam (and the Spiderbait version is okay, too.)

Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" is also pretty awesome. And Kyuss' cover of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void"...RATM's cover of NWA's "Fuck the Police"...

Eh, I could go on. :p

I dig that Ledbelly tune by Nirvana, too.

Also like:

"Evil Woman" covered by Black Sabbath.

"Symptom of the Universe" by Black Sabbath, covered by Sepultura.

The Beatles' "Help" covered by Deep Purple. (betcha not many of you have heard this one".

Blue Cheer's cover of "Summetime Blues".

Etc....

Killswitch Engage recently released a good cover of "HOly Diver" by Dio.

'Walk on by' by The Stranglers...pure class

I really like NOFX's cover of 'Crazy Train' and how they've added a great ska sound to it. I also like 'Brown Eyed Girl' by the Sex Pistols.

Basically, any song that has been covered to make it different from the original. I hate it when a band covers a song but performs it exactly the same as the first band did.

Audioslave did an excellent cover of seven nation army at a show i was at. Better than the original.

I have to say that Metro by Alkaline Trio is quite a good little ditty (originally by Berlin)....Dillinger Escape plans recent cover of Jesus Christ pose is also quite good. Oh and Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.

I also like 'Brown Eyed Girl' by the Sex Pistols.


Hmm, Iggy's "No Fun" covered by the Sex Pistols is cool, too.

Paint It Black as covered by The Agony Scene.
Baby Got Back as covered by Throwdown.
Oops, I Did It Again as covered by Children Of Bodom.

Personally I love that one song that every single blues band covers, Nobody's Fault But Mine. I quite like the Ben Harper version.

RATMs cover of "If I could just kill a man" was great too.

That it was.



"Symptom of the Universe" by Black Sabbath, covered by Sepultura.

Blue Cheer's cover of "Summetime Blues".

These two especially are awesome.

Wait! My absolute favourite cover song has to be 'Police and Thieves' by The Clash. That's got such a great laid-back ska rhythm to it.

I like Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.

The oringinal sucked, but they made it sound quite good.

You should check him out - all sorts of covers done in a lounge singer style. Enter Sandman is a laugh. :p

A perfect circle did a great cover of John Lennons Imagine.

I enjoyed it, what can I say?

Eh, no accounting for taste, I suppose.

Tell me..what did you think of Limp Biskit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes"?

"I started a Joke" by the Beegees, covered by Faith No More, is better.

So is "Easy like Sunday Morning" (Ritchie), by them, too.

'Hit Me Baby One More Time' by Type O Negative. It takes a lot for me to appreciate a Britney song, but these guys did an amazing job. They've also done 'Summer Breeze'.

Ozzy's cover of 'Stayin' Alive' was pretty cool

:eek:
I totally agree.
Faith No More sort of released 2 Greatest hits, they have mostly the same songs but a few variations.
Cunning.

Whats funny, is that technically, FNM, is a "One hit wonder", with Epic.

Despite selling millions of albums worldwide..

HLAH covering 'summer loving'..

I believe, any single, that hits in the top 40, of such lists as "Billboard".

No other song of thiers did chart so.

Yah, Im really, really, not sure why so many places only include the American charts and not the UK as well.

I've watched Dick Trickle race.

I even heard him in an interview-
"My name is Dick Trickle. You think I was a tough kid?"

He HAD to be, Im assuming.

Ben Harper goes a great cover of "Whole lotta love" by zeppelin as well.

That he does. Does a lot of good covers, and he's a terrific songwriter as well.

I don't know about best, but the worst I ever heard was Karma Police, covered by Panic at the Disco. Absolute Rubbish.

Hard to say which is the best, because usually a cover sounds something like the original. The most improved cover song would be Motörhead and Wendy O. Williams' cover of "Stand By Your Man".

Meh, Mr. Bungle are better anyway. :p

Ive heard it said by a friend of mine "Half of what Mike Patton does is brilliant. The other half is crap".

Im still undecided wich category to put Bungle in.

I can't speak for all of it, as I only have their first album, but I reckon it's pretty cool. I like Delerium Cordia by Fantomas, as well, but again, that's the only one I have.

Meh.

What album is the Tool cover of No Quarter on? I really like Tool.

Salival.

I should add to that; It's out of print, so you might as well download it, unless you want to pay through your nose and perhaps every other one of your orifices for a second hand copy of it.

I disagree with that and point to what Monkeypimp said.

I'm On Fire. Springlestien
The video was pure class.

Land of Confussion; Disturbed, Genesis

I kinda get pissed when bands cover songs, which is funny because I have spent quite a bit of time being in a cover band. I could go into the songs that got screwed up.......but I won't


anyway, I liked Smashmouth's cover of "I'm a believer" it was nice. ;)

I don't really have a whole lot of others that I thought were done properly, but Johnny Cash was pretty cool, he covered songs I loved, and I still loved them after he was done.

I should add to that; It's out of print, so you might as well download it, unless you want to pay through your nose and perhaps every other one of your orifices for a second hand copy of it.

Yeah, I had a quick look on Amazon & it was $99 (didn't notice if it was AUD or USD) and out of print. Definitely have to download it.

I haven't seen the DVD that it comes with, but the CD isn't that great. Still worth downloading though.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's cover of "Minnie the Moocher" and Alien Ant Farm's cover of "Smooth Criminal"

Oddly, I have every album Tool has released, sans the newest one, including Salivial., and Im not even really a Tool fan.

second second SECOND on any song The Who has ever covered. I've always liked Yes' cover of "Every Little Thing" by the Beatles" at well. They're one of the best bands ever; give them a chance etc.

Audioslave did an excellent cover of seven nation army at a show i was at. Better than the original.

Yes! That was an awesome cover

I also liked Disturbed's Shout 2000 on The Sickness album.
