Best Cover Songs You've Heard

[Day]

YouTube - CAKE - I Will Survive (Live)

[Stiker]

And the one I mentioned, Seether covering wham/George Michael's "Careless Whisper"
(A+++++++++++++)
YouTube - Careless Whisper (Wham!/George Michael Cover) - Seether

This also reminds me of Seether covering Nirvana's "You Know You're Right". Heard them doing that a couple times live and it kicked ass.

Framing Hanley - Lollipop
Breaking Benjamin - Enjoy the Silence

Breaking Benjamin did Enjoy the Silence?!? Where the fuck was I? I know Lacuna Coil did, but I f.u.c.k.i.n.g. love B.Ben. Can't believe I missed this, but fuck it, the thread was worth it just to find that out!

[Venga]

Placebo - Running Up That Hill was pretty impressive.

And yh also didn't know Propane Nightmares was a cover, any idea who did the original?

Grizzly Bear - He Hit Me (Crystals 1962 cover)

[Stiker]

Breaking Benjamin did Enjoy the Silence?!? Where the fuck was I? I know Lacuna Coil did, but I f.u.c.k.i.n.g. love B.Ben. Can't believe I missed this, but fuck it, the thread was worth it just to find that out!

Yeah I have a friend that is OBSESSED with Ben. She found a recording from some live show they did and they played it. I have no idea at all where she got it from. At the end of the track though he says "how 'bout some fuckin' Tool", but sadly she didn't have whatever that cover was. I'm sure it was awesome though. Their take on Enjoy the Silence was amazing.

[Brill Weave]

I liked Giant Drag's cover of Wicked Game. HIM's was pretty good as well. I've always been partial to Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies cover of Wild World.

Staind's Aaron Lewis does "Black" by pearl jam extremely well. His voice does it justice.

[tyven]

ataris - boys of summer DUH

[Brill Weave]

Agreed on Black. Lewis easily has the vocal range to pull it off well and not fuck it up.

[Kurt Cobain]

YouTube - Hot For Teacher - Van Halen (Intro & Guitar Solo)

guitar cover but still damn

[Acturus]

Oh oh oh!

Better than the original version (by the Pixies):

YouTube - Nada Surf - Where Is My Mind

[Acturus]

"come on eileen" - Reel Big Fish

I liked Save Ferris' version better.

YouTube - save ferris come on eileen

(what is it with ska bands and Come On Eileen?)

Also, Reel Big Fish does a great version of Take On Me:

Trivium's Master of Puppets cover is amazing, and I'm also a huge fan of Disturbed's Land of Confusion cover.

Also, The Deftones cover of "No Ordinary Love" (Original by Sade)

[Penthesilea]

I like most of the covers off of that deftones B-sides and rarities.

The Chauffeur is decent as well as If Only Tonight We Could Sleep.

RatM's cover of Microphone Fiend is good
