The Replacements did a bad-assed cover of "Cruela DeVille" from 101 Dalmations. Also in the quirky category, Bob Mould did a very nice cover of the theme from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. And while we're in the classic alternative bands, REM's version of "King of the Road" cannot be forgotten.

Dead Kennedys did a bang up job of "Viva Las Vegas" which was revived for the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas soundtrack.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones do mean covers. They do "Detroit Rock City" particularly well. "Enter Sandman" is another good one.

The best cover of all time is the Rolling Stones version of "Satisfaction." It's so signature that most people don't even know it is an Otis Redding song. However, Jimi Hendrix (already noted for great Dylan covers) kicking out "Like a Rolling Stone" live at the Monterey Pop Festival is unbelievable.

1. System of a Down - Metro (Berlin)
2. System of a Down - Snowblind (Black Sabbath)
3. The Gypsie Kings - Hotel California (The Eagles)
4. Nirvana - Lake of Fire (Meat Puppets)
5. Nirvana - Plateau (Meat Puppets)
6. Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
7. Gob - Paint it Black (Rolling Stones)
8. Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide. (Fleetwood Mac)
9. Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics)
10. MXPX - Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams) i think MXPX did this cover.


And even though i really hate Metallica I am ashamed to say that i really like their cover of Whiskey in the Jar. Its just damn good.

OK Go - Oliver's Army (Elvis Costello)

I love cover songs...always looking for more. Let's add Warren Zevon's Knockin' On Heaven's Door to the list.

Let's see here...

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie cover), Where Did You Sleep Last Night (?) ...both from Unplugged

RATM - Maggie's Farm (Bob Dylan cover)

Audioslave - Seven Nation Army (White Stripes cover)

Staind - Black (Pearl Jam cover)

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover)

Dave Matthews Band - All Along the Watchtower (^)

Fiona Apple - Across the Universe

Radiohead - Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 cover)

Tool - Terrible Lie (NIN cover)

Tea Party - Paint it Black (Rolling Stones cover) ... a really dark version of the song... it suits it perfectly

No Doubt - Oi to the World

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar

Avril Lavigne - Knockin' on Heaven's Door :o

A Perfect Circle - Ashes to Ashes (David Bowie cover)


Most of these haven't been mentioned, I think

I didnt know Bob Dylan was the original singer for maggies farm, i have been trying to find out who sang it originally. thanks

you know who sings Beautiful World that RATM covered?

No problem
RATM's version and Bob Dylan's seriously couldn't be more different

I didn't know who originally did Beautiful World, a but quick google search tells me it's by some 80's band called Devo.

link where i got it: http://www.music-critic.com/rock/ratm_renegades.htm

Mustang Sally

everyone is saying metallica...
i think whiskey in the jar is really good, i think turn the page is amazing....

but you are all forgetting about Astronomy... that song fuckin kicks ass

The Cheers theme song

heather nova - we can work it out

originally from the beatles, found on i am sam soundtrack

Johnny Cash - Hurt (NiN Cover)
Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana Cover)

i've got a punk cover of 'somewhere over the rainbow', not sure who it's by though :( and 'i believe i can fly' by me first and the gimme gimmes is pretty damn good.

"Flowers on the Wall" covered by Eric Heatherly.

Ive always liked "Last Caress" covered by Metallica

Reel Big Fish's cover of Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wold always make me smile. The introduction is hilarious, too.

Oh, and, agreed, Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar is badass.

the vines - sorry miss jackson

"i fought the law" -the clash

metallica - turn the page

Neil Young's Cover of *Imagine* by John Lennon.
I can now, after 20 years of not being able to listen to it w/out crying, do so.

*Across The Universe* cover of Lennon's by Rufus Wainwright, Sean Lennon & Moby.

*Stop Your Sobbing* Pretenders (Chrissie Hynde) cover of Kinks.

Many of the other covers I like have already been named, like Pettys' Rock & Roll Star...

No flaming please, but what exactly is the almost uniform facination with Metallica about--Kirk Hammett, maybe?

i dont like Metallica, just that one cover they did, i also really like the original version of Whiskey in a Jar too.

Lenny Kravitz - American Woman
Tool - No Quarter (my favorite led zepplin song done by one of my favorite bands)
The Gourds - Gin and Juice
Audioslave - Seven Nation Army
Jonny Cash - Personal Jesus (originally by Depeche Mode)

whiskey in the jar - metallica

Metallica - Tuesdays Gone

Ataris - Boys of Summer
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Higher Ground

ooohhh - love that atari's song

Tangled Up in Blue (originally a Bob Dylan tune) performed by the Indigo Girls.

-bear

Pearl Jam-Last Kiss
Johnny Cash- Hurt

Yellowcard - Everywhere (Michelle Branch Cover)

I love this song, i think Johnny Cash does a way better job with this song than NIN. But i am biased against NIN cuz i hate them.

There are so many here that I'm trying to limit myself to covers I don't already see. As a Deadhead, I've got about a thousand, so I'll leave anything by the Dead or any of the band members off the list.

U2 - Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith)
Patti Smith - Gloria (Them)
Jeff Beck Group - Morning Dew (Bonnie Dobson)
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World (Harold Arlen / Louis Armstrong)

If you haven't heard these, I swear they are absolutely amazing.

Good thread.
I am usually always disappointed when I hear covers. Especially when country music stars take songs like Joplin's "Piece of my Heart" (Faith Hill) or when Dolly Parton does "Stairway To Heaven" (Did anyone hear that??? Absolute shite!!!) Rock stars do it too, and they call it paying homage to great acts, but I think it's often an insult to them.

And I think the thing about doing a cover is the respect thing. I think that Faith Hill has her head shoved too far up her ass if she can't see that she of all people should not be covering that song. I think it's an injustice to Janis, and to the song.

But there are a few examples of bands taking songs and adding their own flavour to them, in the process reinventing them in a good way. And they are in my list below...

1. Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles)
2. Peter, Paul and Mary - Don't Think Twice It's Alright (Dylan)
3. Cake - I Will Survive (Franklin?)
4. Ben Harper - The Drugs Don't Work, (Verve) or to a lesser extent, Sexual Healing (Mistah Mahhvin Gaye)

Didn't read the entire 133 post thread, but have these atrocities been mentioned yet?

Puff Daddy covering Kashmir
Snoop Dogg covering Riders on the Storm

As far as good covers go, I think there are just too many to name - but I'll put my money on Hendrix' rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

don't knock me for this but i like:

smashmouth's cover of "why can't we be friends" off of the baseketball soundtrack. on a side note, that movie was great!

For me, it's Tool's cover of No Quarter, hands down. Not only is it one of Zeppelin's best, but I think the Tool version is even better than Zep's, which is very fucking impressive.

hard to say, maybe Gary Jules "Mad World"

The Flaming Lips -- What a Wonderful World by ~Louis Armstrong~

Dinosaur Jr. -- Quicksand by ~David Bowie~
~Also by J. Mascis:
Anticipation by ~Carly Simon~
Boy With The thorn In His Side by ~The Smiths~
Every Mother's Son by ~Lynyrd Skynyrd~
What We Do Is Secret by ~The Germs~

Bongwater -- Everybody's Talkin by ~Harry Nisson~

Nirvana -- Oh Me by The ~Meat Puppets~

Sonic Youth -- Superstar by ~The Carpenters~

There's more........

Gloria Gaynor.

OK, gonna have to find a copy of this song, because I can't imagine a non-female doing this song... It was always such a girl anthem... :D

Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Lightis better than Springsteen's original, and Springsteen's version of Tom Wait's Jersey Girl is so much better than the original.

Bon Jovi has a CD, This Left Feels Right (or something like that) where they cover their own songs, and put a different sound to them, that's really cool, I like some of the newer versions

Aretha Franklin - RESPECT (Originally written by Otis Redding, I believe.)
Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends (Best ... Cover ... Ever)
Peter Frampton - Jumpin Jack Flash (Originally by da Stones)
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing (Originally by Jimi Hendrix)
Allman Brothers Band - Stormy Monday (Originally by T-Bone Walker)
Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light (Originally by Da Boss)

Johnny Cash- Hurt
Ben Harper - Sexual Healing, Drugs Don't Work
The Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
This Mortal Coil - Song to the siren
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah
Real Big Fish - Take On Me

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

I love This Mortal Coil...

Black Sabbath - cover of Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water.. amazing stuff

Indeed! I only have a few of their songs, I can't seem to find any of their albums where I live :(.

I like the wacky covers, so of course all the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes stuff, like many have already said, and anything by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, or Hayseed Dixie.

I'm also fond of:
Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven (the "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" guy, from an album of nothing but Stairway covers)
Will Young - Hey Ya
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Rock and Roll All Night (from an album of Kiss covers)

Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" album is cute, too.

I picked up a few... odd... covers lately
You Really Got Me - Robots in Disguise (originally by the kinks)
Sister Christian - Coheed and Cambria (originally by night ranger)
Come On Eileen - Save Ferris (originally by Dexy's Midnight Runner, the odd thing about this one is that somebody actually covered it... I love the original!)

I also remember hearing a Powerman 5000 (Rob Zombie's brother's band) doing a cover of You Spin Me Right Round a few years ago.

:D I have, "It'll all End in Tears" which is all covers. It's brilliant.

"Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies (original Velvet Underground)

"The way you do the things you do" - J. Garcia Band (original The Temptations)

"Ellenor Rigby" - Ray Charles (original The Beatles)

"Dead Flowers" Townes Van Zant (original the Rolling Stones)

i like ben folds cover of get your hands off my woman, originally by the darkness. scissor sisters - take me out, originally by franz ferdinand. goldfinger - 99 red baloons, and postal service - against the odds.

They'd asked Frank Sinatra once what was his opinion of Sid Vicious' cover of My Way. Frank said something in the line of, "yeah it's fine but if I met him on the street he wouldn't exactly have a good time".

I generally like covers, even when they're awful, which most of them usually are. They are an awkward sort of tribute after all.

My favorite (at the moment) is Calexico's version of Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, one of the two most beautiful love songs ever. (The second one being There is a Light that Never Goes Out by The Smiths - it even has its own brave and unconventional electro cover by the wonderful Erlend Oye).

Anyway, back to Calexico and Love Will Tear Us Apart - it's the only cover of this song I've ever heard (and believe me, there are MANY) that does it justice. They play it on a much happier and somewhat faster note than the original, but it sounds really good.

While we're there, 16 Horsepower did a kick ass cover of Heart and Soul (Joy Division again). All Joy Division cover attempts usually turn to disaster, but 16 HP are just weird and brilliant enough to pull it off.

Jose Gonzalez does good covers too.

Some personal favorites:

Dave Matthews Band -- The Maker
Goldfinger -- 99 Red Balloons
Oasis -- All You Need Is Love
Jimmy Buffett -- Southern Cross
DJ Sammy -- Heaven


And just for fun...

Ben Folds covering Bitches Ain't Shit (Dr. Dre)

Alanis Morissette covering My Humps (Black Eyed Peas)

Shinedown - Simple Man
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Jimmy Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower

Maybe it's because I love Weird Al, but I got a kick out of
THIS

some good ones in my opinion

in my eyes / rage against the machine (minor threat)
land down under / pennywise (men at work)
little bitch / big d and the kids table
hey ska / streetlight manifesto (the suicide machines)
is she really going out with him / goldfinger (joe jackson)

but yeah. mostly ska stuff haha

One could even argue it's a cover of Misirlou. Sort of. Remix. Whatever.

I've really been digging Stone Sour's cover of Wicked Game lately. Isaak's version of the song always struck me as good, but over-produced. The Stone Sour version clearly doesn't have that issue.

Also good:

Barenaked Ladies - Lovers in a Dangerous Time (originally by Bruce Cockburn) has a similar charm to the Stone Sour cover mentioned above. Bruce Cockburn did it all synth-y and didn't quite catch the melancholy of the song the way the Ladies do.

The Black Crowes - Hard To Handle (originally by Otis Redding) is a case where the cover band does the song exactly the same as the original, only better.

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias (originally by the Grateful Dead); Sublime adds a nice dub/hip hop twist to the song that works very well.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Hey Joe (originally by Jimi); Nick does it almost as a funeral march. It's very slow and somber, which is an interesting new twist on a classic.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Fire (also originally by Jimi); typical RHCP funk rock. Like Jimi, only faster and.. well, funkier.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Minnie the Moocher; I might get burned by aberkok for this one, but what the hell. Sure, BBVD is almost solely responsible for that odd little swing craze in the 90's, but they still did a good job with this one. Was it Cab good? Well, no. But still good.

Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns; bonus points to anyone who knows who did it first.

You know, I don't think I've heard a cover in my life... :expressionless:


I'll be sure to check out these covers alongside the originals... but yeah... I have nothing to contribute... :oogle:

That seems nearly impossible. I'm sure you have but just didn't realize it... mainly because sometimes the covers become more popular than the original. "All Along the Watchtower" is probably the best example of that.

never heard of it...

I'd have to say mine is Tool's cover of No Quarter, by Led Zeppelin. I think they actually managed to do a better cover than the original, and that's really saying something.

I've also gotta echo White Zombie's cover of Children of the Grave. They managed to enhance an already fantastic song.

Children of Bodom - Oops I Did It Again!

Completely different genre of music (death metal as opposed to pop) and fun to listen to as well.

Right now it's "Black Star" covered by Gillian Welch

Craziness. :)

Big Sugar's cover of BTO's "Let It Ride."

The solo is absolutely brilliant.

I like...

Tom Waits' cover of Somewhere (from the film West Side Story)
and
Tom Waits' cover of Sea of Love (Phil Phillips)

kd lang's cover of The Joker (Steve Miller)

Aimee Mann's cover of One (Three Dog Night)

Norah Jones' cover of Cold, Cold Heart (Hank Williams)

Cowboy Junkies' cover of Sweet Jane (Velvet Underground)

Talking Heads' cover of Take Me To the River (not sure who did this one first, but I know Al Green did it)

Lyle Lovett's cover of Stand By Your Man (Tammy Wynette)

...that's all I can think of right now.

Is that the Radiohead Black Star?? I'd love to hear that.

Later...

Oh!
Dolly Parton's cover of Shine (Collective Soul) - I liked her version much better than the original, but then I just like everything she does.

It is that very same song. I don't know if you're on myspace, but if you are you can listen to it on her myspace page.

Awesome! I'll go check it out. Thanks. :)

...about 15 minutes later...I just went and listened to it. It is a great cover. Thanks for turning me onto it! :)

I like the Ozzy and Primus version of Black Sabbath's "Nativity In Black".

You're welcome. I'm glad someone else on here appreciates the gillian welch.
I saw them play it live, and, despite me being incredibly hot and completely exhausted it was amazing.

yes, and speaking of Gillian Welch, I love her cover of Long Black Veil :)

I still have heard of no other cover than Cash's rendition of 'Hurt'...

does a cover have to be an exact(variable only slightly in terms of lyrics) imitation of the song in question? [I think I answered my own question...:paranoid:]

If you've listened to Rock, Pop or Country radio in the last 30 years, then you've heard a cover song. There's almost always a cover of some sort in rotation.

Also if you've ever seen any of the following movies (as well as a host of other movies and tv shows) then you've heard a cover:

Less Than Zero
I am Sam
Shrek 1 & 2
Zoolander
Lost Boys
The Faculty
Sky High
Doinnie Darko
Cursed
Frighteners
50 first dates
Not Another Teen Movie
Clueless
Threesome
The Punisher
Interview with a Vampire
200 cigarettes
Jawbreaker
Stir of Echoes
Gothika
Runaway Bride
Bride of Chucky


In response to the OP, one of my favorites is Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish, originally by Andrew Lloyd Weber.

I love a good cover song, as long as it is different from the original in that the covering artist adss their own spin, otherwise there is no point in re-doing a song.

Yeah I am ashamed to say that I have not heard modern radio in the last 30 years, nor have I seen any of the afore-mentioned movies. :|


But I am still digesting it all... I have enjoyed most of the songs that pinkie and pig have listed, though, but still have trouble finding the original version :D

No, that is usually what makes covers so interesting... the different interpretations of the same piece of music.

For example, going back to "All Along the Watchtower"... it was written and recorded in 1967 by Bob Dylan. However, I bet if you ask 10 people who wrote it, at least 5 of them will answer with Jimi Hendrix. The reason for this is that his version was much more popular, breaking into the Top 40 and is known as one of the top rock songs of all time.

If I were you, I'd get ahold of versions by both Hendrix and Dylan... as well as Dave Matthews Band. They are all three vastly different takes on the same piece of music... it's pretty damn cool if you ask me.

Oh, by the way... did you watch the Super Bowl this year? Prince did a cover of it during the halftime show.

To answer your answer question: No, I did not watch the Super Bowl this year.

To substitute my own: Is the song "Stuck in the Middle with You" a cover as well? I recently watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time(don't ask why it took me so long) and obviously that scene with Madsen stuck. When I looked it up, it had credits going to both Bob Dylan and Stealin' Wheels.

So is that right?

I hadn't heard it before you mentioned, despite the fact that it's on my computer. I listened, it's not bad.

Haven't seen this one mentioned, Disturbed doing Land of Confusion! What a great rendition.

Children of Bodom's cover or Ramones' Somebody Put Something In My Drink.

The Tea Party's cover of Paint it Black
FNM's cover of War Pigs

Oh, I finally got one!


Fugees - Killing Me Softly cover (predominantly Lauryn Hill's vocal singing throughout the song)

a beautiful rendition of whoever they were paying homage to... :D

jane's addiction's cover of "ripple"
metallica's cover of "whiskey in the jar-o"

They were already mentioned, but it's very true: the Foo Fighters' "Baker Street" and Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World" are both amazing.

One I haven't seen:

10,000 Maniacs - Because the Night

Originally recorded by Patti Smith, written by Bruce Springsteen
(but the Boss's live renditions of the song trump all)

Volbeat - I Only Want to be With You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts19Nn-xyGs

And one more cover that I have come across that is exceptional: Santana - Black Magic Woman

This song I reckon is more easily recognized and associated to Santana, although it was orginally composed by Fleetwood Mac.

i turned the radio off around the year 2000 and haven't really turned it back on. corporate music sickens me. However, the odd time that I catch MuchMusic or MuchMoreMusic on TV, i usually pick up on a track or two that turns my head.

Back on topic...

Since I'm a huge fan of R.E.M., I love their covers as well...

r.e.m. - lucky (radiohead)
r.e.m. - one (u2)
(i know there are more...)

reel big fish - take on me (a-ha) <-- I second this one!
lemonheads - mrs.robinson (simon & garfunkle)

erasure - lay all your love on me (abba)
(the entire 'abba-esque' album was pretty fun)

linkin park - enjoy the silence (depeche mode)
(this is the only track by this band that i like...don't get me started on their other music :P)

Anything and everything by Wierd Al. I grew up on this man and will always love his spin on pop music.

bnl - lovers in a dangerous time (bruce cockburn) <-- I second this one as well :)

There's a TOTALLY rockin' version of Boys Of Summer by a group called The Ataris.

This is one of the most 'covered' songs ever -- it's a standard, I'd say -- but there's a cool version of Route 66 by Depeche Mode that was on the soundtrack for Earth Girls Are Easy -- fun movie.

The Pointer Sisters' version of Fire by Bruce Springsteen certainly redefined that song.

Devo's version of Satisfaction is a riot.

Killing Me Softly by the Fugees

Cocaine and After Midnight by Eric Clapton (covers of JJ Cale). Cale also wrote Call Me The Breeze.

Joss Stone has a very cool version of Some Kind Of Wonderful (Grand Funk Railroad).

Which reminds me, she did an ok Janis tribute at the Grammys a few years ago ... but Melissa Etheridge TOTALLY tore up Piece Of My Heart!!! and she was bald cause of her chemo... somehow the impact of that just added something.

The whole soundtrack CD of Me, Myself and Irene is comprised of Steely Dan covers, if you like them. :P I like several of those.

Last but not least, the cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World" that was done for Donnie Darko.[/QUOTE]

I've been a huge T4Fs Fan for a real long time, and the Mad World from Donnie Darko is so much deeper. Couldn't agree more!

Yeah and Cowboy Junkies version of "Sweet Jane"...so great.

Fozzy - Genie In A Bottle

Metallica - Last Caress

Billy Idol - L.A. Woman

Lita Ford - Only Women Bleed

Megadeth - No More Mr Nice Guy

Mark Ronson is someone to watch. he's been producing for some of girls on the pop chart lately

anyway, check out his cover of Radiohead's "Just" if you've not heard it ... great stuff i'd say. low quality video that omits the intro --

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYngU49mBQ8

or higher quality Essential Mix that includes the track --

http://www.pearsontowers.com/mixlink.../essential_mix

Johnny Cash - Hurt (NIN)
Bill Shatner - Common People (Pulp)
Great Big Sea - End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) (REM)

It may have been mentioned before, but I love Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
Rush did great covers of Crossroads and The Seeker on an EP a few years back.
For anyone into Canadian rock, listen to The Weakerthans covering The Rheostatics 'Bad Time to be Poor'.

Since it doesn't look like anyone is going to claim my bonus points, I'll chime in. It was actually a trick question, sort of. Rodeo Clowns is Jack's song, but was featured on G. Love and Special Sauce's 1999 album Philadelphonic (with Jack as a guest) two years before Jack Johnson put out an album of his own and a full four before he had his own recording of the song on an album.

More covers...

U2's version of Helter Skelter (originally the Beatles) off Rattle and Hum is much more how the song should be played. The Beatles never seemed able to get the mood quite right. But then, that's just my opinion.

Tool's No Quarter (originally Led Zeppelin) is quite fun. It's what Zep would sound like if they were more metal.

The Offspring covering Feelings (originally by Morris Albert) is so punk it hurts.

Reel Big Fish doing Take On Me (originally by A-Ha). Take On Me is already a song that should've been ska. And yeah, I know, RBF is third wave (I know there's at least one hardcore ska fan here, so he'll know what I mean) but I honestly never got this idea that third wave was somehow inferior.

In the category of songs that a lot of people don't realize are covers, Rage Against the Machine's Renegades of Funk (originally by Afrika Bambaataa) just rocks my world. De la Roche may be a gigantic douche, but at least he's a talented douche.

Nirvana's Unplugged album has good covers. Man Who Sold the World (originally by David Bowie) and Lake of Fire (originally by the Meat Puppets) are my two favourites.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Janis Joplin doing Me and Bobby McGee (originally by Roger Miller) at some point.

Honourable mention also goes to Jack Johnson for covering We're Going to Be Friends (originally by the White Stripes) and managing to avoid having it sound creepy. Jack White is incapable of doing this.

And that's all that occurs to me for now.

EDIT - Because I apparently don't know my album titles.

Because I prefer them to the original versions

Mexican Radio - Celtic Frost
Am I Evil - Metallica
Baby Please Don't Go - AC/DC
Frankenstein - Overkill
Diamonds and Rust - Judas Priest

This song is great by a lot of people, but this is my fav: Van Morrison - Baby Please Don't Go (By Big Joe Williams)

Mike Patton can make anything weird: Fantomas - Chariot Choogle (By T-Rex)

I like very few female singers, but she's one of them: Annie Lennox - Train In Vain (By The Clash)

I haven't actually heard the original... I should do that.: Solomon Burke - None Of Us Are Free (By Barry Mann)

My favourite band... they really turned this song up: Our Lady Peace - Needle and the Damage Done (By Neil Young)

Shatner is just plain fun: William Shatner - Common People (By The Pulp)

AFI's cover of "Don't Change" by INXS
Nine Inch Nails cover of "Dead Souls" by Joy Division
Apoptygma Berzerk's cover of "Fade to Black" by Metallica
Nofx's cover of "Radio" by Rancid
Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix's cover of "All Along The Watch Tower" by Bob Dylan
The Echoing Green's cover of "Ceremony" by New Order/ Joy Division

At a concert earlier this year i saw Breaking Benjamin, mostly Ben, cover NIN's Hurt, it was a really good cover.

Pearl Jams Cover of Crazy Mary

Whiskey in the Jar- Metallica
Land of Confusion- Disturbed
Davidian- Lostprophets (dont knock it 'til youve heard it !! seriously)
Eyeless- Bring Me The Horizon

Deadsy's version of Tom Sawyer originally done by Rush is off the chains.

Many good covers in here. I will have to download a few...

My Personal Favorite: Tool's cover of "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin

I've been a huge T4Fs Fan for a real long time, and the Mad World from Donnie Darko is so much deeper. Couldn't agree more![/QUOTE]

Gary Jules is The Man.

I'd also have to agree with Disturbed's Land of Confusion.
Johnny Cash's Redemption Song, Heart of Gold and Personal Jesus.

and Alanis Morrisette's <I>Crazy</I> originally done by Seal.
