Great Covers!

[Christo]

Travis - Hit me baby one more time (Britney cover)
Sex Pistols - My way (amusing!)
Muse - Please Please Please Let Me Get what I want (Smiths cover)


Also Nouvelle Vague do some good covers

 

[Meridian]

Alanis Morrisette's version of "My Humps" - the video is great as well.

FOR THE WIN







no?

 

[funkeh]

 

[GeForce]

Goldfinger - 99 red balloons

FOR THE WIN

Agreed on both.

Umbrella (Rihannah Cover) - Biffy Clyro. Made me realise how good the lyrics are.
Don't Get Me Wrong - Lily Allen. Just seems to work.
Father & Son - The Enemy. Made me love this song.
Don't Look Back Into The Sun (Libertines Cover) - The View. Prefer the original though.
On The Street Where You Live - Mr. Hudson & The Library
Kiss Me (Sixpence None The Richer) - New Found Glory. I like the original and the cover.

[molinari]

I thought that Keane's version of With Or Without You (U2) was done very well

 

[MikeTimbers]

Sex Pistols - No Fun (originally by the Stooges)
Banshees - Helter Skelter (originally by the Beatles)
Splodgenessabounds - Two Little Boys

and of course another vote for Jimi's All Along the Watchtower - supposedly so good that the first time Bob Dylan heard it on his car radio he stopped the car to listen to it properly.

 

[JRS]

Being sensible for a second, I'll agree with those who posted the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along The Watchtower".

Being slightly less sensible - Hayseed Dixie's cover of Ace Of Spades

 

[Kevin Clark]

Barefoot - Born Slippy
One of those covers where you don't really realise what it is until you get a little way in to it.

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar

 

[Putty]

Me first and the gimme gimmes - all their songs (since they're a cover band)

Also Supersuckers - Cowboy Song

[stude1983]

A Perfect Circle - Passive

 

[JoDaMa]

(Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding) - Dream Theater
(The Rover/Achilles Last Stand/The Song Remains the Same) - Dream Theater

 

[melchy]

The Sisters of Mercy cover of a Hot Chocolate song "Emma"

(Sounds like an early demo)

Quite like The Sisters cover of "Gimme Shelter" as well.

 

[melchy]

The Sisters cover of "Gimme Shelter" live.

 

[khimbar]

Sisters doing Jolene is pretty good too.

 

[melchy]

Keeping the Sisters theme going, LOL

Comfortably Numb which then leads into Some Kind of Stranger

Although Von's singing does let him down in a few places, LOL

 

[Hxc]

A Perfect Circle~Diary of a Madman

What album/cd was that on? I've got their 3 main albums but that's obviously not on there. Is it on aMOTION or a single B-side?

 

[Chris19]

Is it only me that likes NIN's version of Hurt over Cash's? Have to agree with what was said about Fear Factory they don't really cover a song they just mimic it.

Passive isnt really a cover is it? It was ment to be Tapeworms song but APC preformed it live without the other band members or so i read.

Best cover though... Tool - You Lied

 

[Hxc]

Passive was a tapeworm song yeah... Maynard was involved in the writing of it so I wouldn't say it's a "cover" exactly.
