Johhny Cash - "Hurt" (originally by Nine Inch Nails)

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World - originally by David Bowie

NIN - Hurt by Johnny Cash & David Bowie

Me as well.

Tangled up in Blue, The Indigo Girls remake of the Dylan Classic.

Spectacular.

-bear

and to add to that,

System of a Down - Metro (originally done by Berlin)
System of a Down - Snowblind (originally done by Black Sabbath)

Agreed.

A.F.I.-Halloween (misfits)
NoFX-Last caress (misfits, again)
NoFX-Olympia Wa.

Yeah, can't go wrong there.

I love Fenix*tx's version of Feliz Navidad right now, but it's Christmas time, so it's bound to change.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower
Save Ferris - Come On Eileen
Red Hot Chili Peppers - If You Want Me to Stay

Can't decide on just one. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Metallica - Die, Die, Die My Darling
Metallica - Am I Evil
Rage Against the Machine - Renegades Of Funk
Rage Against The Machine - Ghost Of Tom Joad
Me First & The Gimme Gimmes - The Rainbow Connection
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
The Gourds - Gin N Juice

Jimmi Hendrix's cover of the Byrds "Hey Joe"
The Cure's cover of Jimmi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady"
Dinosaur Jr's cover of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven"

or maybe not.

I also will put a vote in for "the man who sold the world" - Nirvana... but i wish there were others knew about.. this could be a good thread to find some nice cover songs

keep it going!

'Hurt' song by NiN covered by Johnny Cash
'Rebel Yell' song by Billy Idol covered by HIM
'Wicked Game' song by Chris Isaak covered by HIM
'Thirteen' song by Danzig covered by Johnny Cash
'Smells Like Teen Spirit' song by Nirvana covered by Tori Amos
'Number of the Beast' song by Iron Maiden covered by Zwan

...just to name a few :)

I was looking around on some fan websites for Finch the other day and came across two great acoustic covers. Dumb by Nirvana and Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Both great songs and pretty aweseome covers if I say so.

i always like it when Les Claypool covers Pink Floyd. here's Claypool's Frog Brigade performing PF's Animals live > http://claypoolfan:animals@www.fogducker.com/c

please do not repost this.

Flowers on the Wall - Eric Heatherly version

Concrete Blonde doing 'Misty Mountain Hop'

'fly me to the moon'-eva cassidy (org by frank sinarta)

Primus -- Snoop Dog Cover. Gin N Juice

Goldfinger- 99 Red Balloons

louis armstrong - moon river

Micheal Buble- Fever

I like every cover I've ever heard of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper", as well as Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You".

Also, I've been looking for a good cover of "Paint It Black". I know there's a good one out there somewhere...

Soul Kitchen (the Doors song) as covered by X. Its an odd choice of a cover, an infamous punk band covering a doors song (and having a record produced by a member of the doors), but its a great cover.

A few...

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (Leadbelly)
Audioslave - Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes)
Rancid - Vanilla Sex (NoFX)
Cake - I Will Survive (Dunno)
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss (Dunno)

The Gourds - Gin & Juice
Michael Hedges - All Along the Watchtower
No Use For a Name - Turning Japanese

Really diggin' No Doubt's version of 'It's My Life'...it was one of my favorite songs of the 80's and they do a great version of it.

One cover I can't stand is Metallica's version of Nick Cave's "Loverman." Garage Inc. was, for the most part, a pretty solid slew of covers, but "Loverman" really pisses me off.

Another cover that's pretty horrible is off the Good Will Hunting soundtrack. Some talentless f--k named Andru Donalds covered Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby." Just the thought of this Blues Travellerish cover coupled with Minnie Driver's acting makes me want to cut someone.

Anyhow, there are some really good covers out there, too. I really dig Cash's version of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" and Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." Oh, and we can't forget Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower."

Covers are always a touchy subject, and usually mirror how talented the band performing them is. William Shatner and Andru
Donalds are examples of how pitiful covers can be from the talentless.

The band throwdown does a cover on the song baby got back and i enjoy that.

Current Favorite: "Blood Brothers - It's a Shpadoinkle Day" orginally from Cannibal the Musical
Classic Favorite: "Johnny Cash - Hurt" from NIN
All Time Favorite: "Goldfinger - 99 luft balloons" orginally by Nena

"Across the Universe" cover by Fiona Apple

As we all know, the original is by the Beatles.

:thumbsup:

i love punk covers, but mainly nofx

nofx - over the rainbow
nofx - lean on me
nofx - hotel california
pennywise - land down under (was men at work)
Rage against the machine - renegades of funk

and many more i cant think of atm :<

Definately.
Also Wicked Game-HIM
Dont Fear the Reaper-HIM
and Six Feet Under's cover of TNT is pretty sick.

i just heard the worst cover - Nirvana trying to do The End by the Doors it really sucked

i'd have to say smashing pumpkins - landslide

Heres another vote for Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They're an awesome cover band.

Anything covered by Eva Cassidy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Hendrix's Little Wing.

Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower - Dylan
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss - ?
Johnny Cash - Hurt - NIN
