Just a few off the top of my head:
Built to Spill covering Velvet Underground's "What goes on"
Bjork and PJ Harvey doing the Stones' "Satisfaction"
Pixies covering JaMC's "Head On"
Ben Kweller - "Ice Ice Baby"
Grr, suddenly I can't think of the ones I had in mind when I started reading this thread...

Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" is a classic, obviously.

I think most Leonard Cohen covers are leaps and bounds better than the original Cohen recordings, particularly because he is such an amazing poet with such a godawful voice. Jeff Buckley does "Hallelujah" with the best of them... I also heard a recording of Buckley doing Dylan's "Mama You've Been on My Mind," which was gold.

Haha, I always found Matchbox 20's version of "Time After Time" (Lauper) to be at least mildly entertaining as well.

I Love cohen's voice! It's what makes the tune. But then I like neil young's voice too, so I guess I'm no judge of voice character!


My fav cover has been Let's Spend the Night Together by David Bowie (Aladdin Sane).

Almost every cover ever done by the Pixies... My current favourite of theirs is Neil Young's Winterlong.

I have several favorites, but since it's fresh in my mind (due to listening to it currently), I'd have to say the Minibosses "Castlevania 3", "Ninja Gaiden", "Punch-Out!" and "Mega Man 2" medleys.


Dorky? Yes. But it rocks so hard that you can't deny it, even if you never played the video games as a kid.

Eric Clapton covering "I Shot the Sheriff" introduced me to reggae.

The Allman Brothers Band covering "Stormy Monday" & "Statesburo Blues" introduced me to the blues.

Stevie Ray Vaughan covering "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" showed me that it was possible to improve on a Hendrix tune.

Three of my favorites...

Yet another vote for Me First and the Gimme Gimmes..."Nobody Does It Better" than they do

"All Along The Watchtower" by Kelly Richey (actually improvising on Hendrix's adaptation)

And Dwight Yoakam did a helluva job with "Suspicious Minds"

I think I heard it said once that Yesterday is the most covered song ever. I must admit the Boys II Men a cappella version is one of my guilty pleasures.

I like a bunch of cover songs.. here's 2 that I think are well done:

Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
The Atari's - Boys of Summer

I also like Marilyn Manson's covers, either of Sweet Dreams, Personal Jesus or Tainted Love. I dont know why, they're just fun to listen to.

Hey - I gotta second this, even if it's adding little to the discussion.

Man. I first heard that song in a mixed goth/punk/industrial type nightclub. It'll never enjoy it quite as much as that first time (dancing, slightly drunk etc) - but it's still a classic. I'm glad somebody else enjoys the song too.

I had to list three.

"Here comes the sun" - sung in a very slow melancholy way. Almost sarcastic but without the whine. Some british artist. Wish somebody could find that one for me.

"Hey Joe" - done by Body Count (Jimi Hendrix tribute) is interesting. It comes out wonderful with a slightly harder interpretation.

"Rocket Man" - Kate Bush

I think mine is No Quarter, originally done by Led Zeppelin, covered by Tool. I think Tool took it and made it even better than the original, which is an amazing feat.

I hear Sarah McLachlan sing The Beatles' "Blackbird" and Peter Gabriel's "Salisbury Hill" live on Thursday night, and both rocked my socks.

The Postal Service's version of "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins and All Saints' version of "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers are also up there.

An MP3 of an alt-country band called The Gourds from Austin, Texas doing a countrified/bluegrassy version of Gin and Juice circulated a bunch on Napster and other peer-to-peer programs a while back. It was incorrectly labeled as Phish.

Best cover that I have heard in long time. revitalized the song, and it's actually listenable now.

How about Will Ferril and the Newsanchors covering Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight"?

I just saw it on Much Music, and it is a bonus video at the end of the movie "anchorman".

Agreed... that was cool.

In all honesty, I didn't think that was them that really sang it, I thought they were just lip synching. :P
