Favorite Cover Song
 
To expand upon the "All Along the Watchtower" thread....What's your favorite cover in general?

bullgoose 04-25-2003 03:51 PM

Statesboro Blues- Cover :Allman Brothers Band; Original: Blind Willie McTell

tinger 04-25-2003 04:13 PM

Rage Against the Machine's version of Cypress Hill's 'How I Could Just Kill a Man' is tops for me at the moment.

forseti-6 04-25-2003 04:19 PM

Stevie Ray Vaughan version of "Little Wing"

jmf1234 04-25-2003 04:27 PM

Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal. It turned such a crappy song in to a pretty good one

vermin 04-25-2003 04:30 PM

Foo Fighter's Baker Street

mercury-hg 04-25-2003 04:33 PM

blues standards aside (there's just too many to consider each performance a cover), i'll second SRV's "Little Wing" and add his "Voodoo Chile."

i'm also quite partial to Gn'R's "Live and Let Die" (Wing's original)

hiredgun 04-25-2003 04:33 PM

I don't know if i can pick just one. So I'll pick three.


Tool cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter"... turned a good song into an amazing song.

Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page"... so very good.

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

pr0ky 04-25-2003 06:27 PM

The Finnish band HIM does alot of great covers.

My fav is their cover of "The Reaper" by the BLue Oyster Cult

MahlerIsGod 04-25-2003 11:35 PM

Here are some of my fav's:
1)Dave Grohl's Tiny Dancer
2)Johnny Cash's I See A Darkness
3)Radiohead's Rhinestone Cowboy
4)White Stripes Jolene
5)RATM"s The Ghost of Tom Joad
6)REM's Superman
7)Smashing Pumpkin's Landslide
8)The Sunday's Wild Horses
9)Tori Amos's Smells Like Teen Spirit
10)U2 Helter Skelter


With a very, very, very very special honorable mention to William Shatner's Rocket Man

P.S. If you haven't heard I See A Darkness by Johnny Cash stop what you are doing even if you are giving birth or performing open-heart surgery and listen to that song.

OMC 04-26-2003 12:32 AM

Luciferion's cover of "Fight Fire with Fire"

Atomic Pinkie 04-26-2003 02:44 AM

I'd have to say a few things...one

1) No band could ever cover Metallica properly
2) Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar
3) Metallica - Turn the Page
4) Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Billy's voice makes it SO MUCH BETTER)
5) Metallica - Am I Evil
6) Metallica - The Small Hours

apetaster 04-26-2003 04:53 AM

Hot Water Music doing "Radio" by Alkaline Trio.

Fun b/c the first line of the song is:
'Shaking like a dog shitting razorblades...'

Metallica's cover of Thin Lizzie's Whiskey in the Jar ( I think it's better than the original) Not to fond of their Turn the Page though, I think Bob Seger probably puked when he heard it.

Definately Stevie Ray Vaughns cover of Voodoo Child

Gortexfogg 04-26-2003 12:08 PM

Bob Dylan's cover of "Baby, let me follow you down"

Hal Incandenza 04-26-2003 03:34 PM

Metallica--"Last Caress" (orig. Misfits)
Nirvana--"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (trad., usually credited to Leadbelly) and all of their Vaselines covers
Naked Raygun--"Suspect Device" (Stiff Little Fingers)
Faith No More--"War Pigs" (Black Sabbath)
Sonic Youth--"Touch Me I'm Sick" (Mudhoney)
Tons of others...

vermin 04-26-2003 06:51 PM

I used to run the sound board for a local band who did a really great cover of Misty Mountain Hop - turned it into a VERY heavy song.

MSD 04-26-2003 09:08 PM

I wouldn't say these are the best, or my favorites, but just to throw out some that aren't up here that I listen to (I like most of what was already said)

KMFDM "Material Girl"
Rammstein "Barbie Girl"
Frail "Space Oddity"
Manson "Tainted Love"
In Flames "Murders in the Rue Morgue"
Johnny Cash "Hurt"
Rammstein "Stripped"

KillerYoda 04-27-2003 02:32 AM

Although it's shitty quality, I always liked Goat Punishment's (ie: Weezer) live covers of Nirvana songs. There's five of them, if I remember correctly.

methodtim 04-27-2003 03:33 AM

Ensemble cast of There's Something About Mary singing Buttercup.

gibber71 04-27-2003 03:08 PM

  • Megadeth - Paranoid
  • Megadeth - No More Mr. Nice Guy
  • Megadeth - Never Say Die
  • Metallica - Blitzkrieg
  • White Zombie - I'm your Boogieman

I just read this thread, I must say, I agree very strongly with all of these choices :)

snowy 04-27-2003 11:10 PM

Travis's version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time". At first, it's great simply for the laugh factor, but as you listen to it more and more, you realize what a wonderful song it actually is...especially when not recorded by Britney Spears!

Soda_BoB 04-28-2003 02:20 AM

Melvins-Smells like teen spirit

World's King 04-29-2003 01:29 AM

theres lots if covers i like, cant think of much any atm..

all that comes to mind is Ministry's cover of 'Lay Lady Lay'.

and Codeseven's "Boys of Summer"

god i kno there's more i like no one's mentioned tho..

WhoaitsZ 05-19-2003 07:40 PM

my favorite cover ever is "Dancing in the Moonlight", a Thin Lizzy song covered by the Smashing Pumpkins. it's soooooooo mellow and easy going. it'll bring tears to your eyes if you were ever in love at age 15 or so :(

also thoroughly love "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen covered by Heather Nova

"Whiskey in a Jar" an old irish song and Thin Lizzy cover by Metallica

hmm.... Johnny Cash did a killer Danzig cover of "13"

just a few faves up there.:)

Thraeryn 05-20-2003 03:33 AM

Carp. When I started reading this thread, I had a GREAT song in mind, but it has left me by now.

Oh, wait.

The covers of "Cinnamon Girl" (Neil Young) and "Summer Breeze" (don't remember who originally) that Type O Negative produced brought those songs to an entirely new level. One they sincerely needed to be brought to.

mr.neat 05-20-2003 10:57 PM

Anything by Me First and the Gimme gimmies.

Atomic Pinkie 05-21-2003 04:50 AM

Whiskey in the Jar (covered by Metallica)
