Cover songs

[reyrey619]

Britney Spears comes up alot. Satisfaction, My Perogative, I Love Rock and Roll...they all sucked.

But the worst is Chop Suey by Avril Lavigne.

[Skummy]

1. What was the best 1-2 punch of original and remake you've heard?

I quite like Sikth's cover of Feel So Bad's Tupelo.

←

Nick Cave's Tupelo, I think you'll find. It's pretty darn good, though.

[Liam]

Best Cover: Limpbizkit - Take Me Home/Sanitarium.

Fuck off, it was way better than the original.

Worst Cover: Bryan Adams - Wonderwall

How dare anybody try to cover one of the great Oasis' songs of the 90's? It just disgusts me, and the fact Jo Whiley and all her faggot fans were phoning in to talk about how great it was makes me hate him even more.

a) No

and b) Ryan Adams did that cover....I like Ryan Adams, but the cover wasn't very good. There are worse covers, but it was just pointless doing it.

[Steeb]

I'm currently loving 'Such Great Heights' by Iron and Wine, and the cover version by The Postal Service. They do it justice, and change the style of the song at the same time. Awesome.

[Enter Blue Guy]

My two favorites are Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's Man Who Sold The World and Pantera's cover of Sabbath's Planet Caravan.

[Fitzy]

Metallica covering Bob Seger's "Turn the Page"

Strangers With Candy covering A-Ha's "Take One Me"

Marilyn Manson covering Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus"

Marilyn Manson covering Soft Cell's "Tainted Love"

Marilyn Manson covering Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)"

Orgy covering New Order's "Blue Monday"

Adema covering Alice In Chain's "Nutshell"

Uncle Kracker covering Doby Gray's "Drift Away"

Korn covering Metallica's "One"

I can't think of anymore right now but I am sure I am leaving out stuff.

Am I the only one who hates Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt?" I think it is not that good at all. Nine Inch Nail's version is perfect. Cash's isn't. I just don't like his voice at all.

IIRC, its the other way around....Such Great Heights is a Postal Service song, covered by Iron And Wine, unless I've just been wrong all along.

And the Adema and Orgy cover you mention, Fitzy, just seem poor IMO in comparison to the originals. Not bad songs by themselves, but held back that the originals are really good.

[MalaCloudy Black]

the orgy cover rocks, i love it.

[Guest fultie]

Green Day's got a cool version of My Generation

[Liam]

the orgy cover rocks, i love it.

←

Yeah, I think it's good, don't get me wrong, but I just think that New Order "Blue Monday" is a seminal classic of the 80's, and thus is going to be a hard one to actually better.

Well, unlees you prefer alt music to dodgy 80's stuff, in which case

true enough, i guess.

[apsham]

Midtown "Your Love"

Amber Pacific "Video Killed The Radio Star"

Are two good covers in my mind.

[Cactus Drags]

Best Cover: Limpbizkit - Take Me Home/Sanitarium.

Fuck off, it was way better than the original.

[Liam]

I was honestly surprised by how much I liked Fall Out Boy's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Joy Division's version is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I was pleasantly surprised how well FOB did, considering I expected it to be pants.

[Clawson]

Limp Bizkit's best song is probably their cover of Behind Blue Eyes so ya that has to be a shameful number 1.

As for worst Ryan Adams should be hung, drawn and quartered for that Wonderwall cover. It makes me sick to my stomach at how bad it is.

[Liam]

I can't believe I forgot this all along....but the best cover ever has to be....

Faith No More "Easy Like A Sunday Morning"

Pure class, in a glass.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Avril Lavigne - Kiss Me

Britney Spears - I Love Rock and Roll

They're my two favourites. There's probably more that I don't even know about. I'd agree with people that Avril's Chop Suey was bad, but then again it's a shit song all together and done no better by SOAD in my mind, so I wont list that here
