KoRn - Another Brick In The Wall (part 1, 2, 3). By far the best cover I have heard in a long time, besides Jonny Cash doing NIN's Hurt

I like Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" better than Dylan's version (shhh...don't let my dad hear that!!).

I also like "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam better than the original, but I don't know who did the first one.

There is a cover of Build me up Buttercup on the mallrats soundtrack that is great and a cover of go your own way on the clerks soundtrack that is good as well. I am too lazy to look up who did the covers...

A little British goth band called Inkubus Sukkubus does a kickin version of Paint It, Black. PM me if you'd like a copy, it's pretty hard to find.

I've always loved the 7 Seconds version of 99 Red Balloons.
Also love Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Little Wing.
And finally, I have to throw in Tori Amos version of '97 Bonnie and Clyde. It's creepy as hell.

I am a big U2 fan, and i really like their cover of Paint it Black, as well as their cover of Dancin' Barefoot ( Patti Smith ), and their take on the Beatles happiness is a warm gun.

Oh yeah also thier Pop Muzik (M)

And I am kinda surprised that no one mentioned of of the highest rated covers of all-time. Sinead O'coonor's Nothing Compares 2 U is a Prince song.

I've never heard that one (he's country, right?) ...

but I've always liked the Fine Young Cannibals version.


... speaking of covers, on the new Fear Factory album, they cover
Killing Joke's Millenium and U2's I Will Follow.

I like the originals, and FF covers them well enough (still deciding how well, needs more listens).

I think I have a new favorite--Children of Bodom covering "Oops!...I Did It Again"--you haven't heard a Britney song until you've heard one with a double kick and Alexi Laiho taking over on lead vocals.

Honorable mention goes to Dream Theater for Best Cover Usage in Medleys and Bridges ("In the Flesh", "Starship Trooper", "The Rover", "Love Lies Bleeding", "Have a Cigar", etc.) and Metallica for Most Improved Covers ("Breadfan" and "Turn the Page").

Lately I've been listening to Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter".

Hoooooooly hell it is damn good. I'd have to say this now takes top place over any and all covers I've ever heard.

You're right. My son has been playing this. It is quite good.
