Humm didn't know they did that....I heard on the radio Sevendust covered NIN's Hurt, but can't find that either!

Skifter2

Eva Cassidy made some very good covers..

Fields of Gold, Over the Rainbow, Time after Time, What a Wonderful World....actually she made a lot of good covers...

Jeff Buckleys version of Halleluja is one damn good cover..

veritas

Tori Amos' version of Zep's Thank You blows my mind.

Allgrave

I'll second (or third or fourth) Primus's cover of N.I.B.

My favorite is Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Little Wing.

They're local I got to see them play about a month ago. I'd have to say my fav cover song is Deftones cover of To have and to hold by Depeche Mode.

Scheme

most ska covers like Reel Big Fish - Brown eyed girl, Less Than Jake - I would walk 500 miles and others like Pennywise - Land Down Under

Not the best ever, but I've taken a shine to Vanilla Fudge's cover of "Keep me Hanging On"

john mclaughlin's solo cover of "good bye pork pie hat"---done before he joined up with miles davis.

in general, i dont like covers unless the new version shreds the original. coltrane's "my favorite things" is something of an exception, for sentimental reason mostly.

as for mashup things, i really like dj/rupture's reframing of nina simone's "plain gold ring" from minesweeper suite.....

dirtyrascal7

i completely agree... that song gives me chills every time i listen to it. i love how they go back and forth singing the lyrics... their voices compliment each other so well.

Just heard The Agony Scene - Paint It Black. Bad ass.

maleficent

Pantera's cover is Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever would be on my top five list, along with Mettalica's Turn the Page.

Anything on Aerosmith's Never Loved a Girl, is a fabulous cover of Aretha's Never Loved a Man. In fact the whole Honkin' on Bobo cd is fabulous.

I've always loved Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Billie Holliday's "Strange Fruit". The original is incredible as well, but the cover brings across the creepy feeling I imagine the lyrics originally brought across when she sang it in the 30's.

Jimi Hendrix's cover of Hey Joe originally by the Byrds.

Reel Big Fish's New York New York (originally by Frank Sinatra).

It's AMAZINGLY better than the original.

cheeterbo

before i heard dave matthews do watchtower 6 times live, i would have said hendrix hands down, now, it is a tie between them

bltzkriegmcanon

Agreed. The point has been run into the ground, but I tremendously like this song as well.

Probably "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC, but that's too obvious. I'm gonna go with "Dangerous Type" by Letters To Cleo.
