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 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.

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.

Spinach_Indeed

Classic Favorite: "Johnny Cash - Hurt" from NIN
All Time Favorite: "Goldfinger - 99 luft balloons" orginally by Nena
