Best Cover Songs You've Heard

[Day]

RatM's cover of Microphone Fiend is good

Ghost of Tom Joad is pretty sex too

[Penthesilea]

Well when the original is shit, it's not unusual for a cover to make it better

[Lavik]

Bruce Springsteen will kick your fucking ass for saying something like that.

[Jerseyprophet]

Oh oh oh!

Better than the original version (by the Pixies):

YouTube - Nada Surf - Where Is My Mind

Raged, then heard it, touche. Good cover. Great band, great song - two thumbs up all around.

[Qalbert]

YouTube - Johnny Cash Hurt

Easy one. Cash covering Nine Inch Nails should not work so amazingly well.

Quoted for motherfucking win.

[Dimmauk]

YouTube - Rammstein - Stripped

YouTube - Johnny cash - Personal jesus

The Cure - World In My Eyes

YouTube - Johnny Cash- Rusty Cage

YouTube - Smashing Pumpkins - Never Let Me Down Again

Weird that most are Depeche Mode songs.

[Poooter]

Trivium - Master of Puppets

I like Metallica's cover of Whiskey In The Jar.

DJ Sammy/Loona's covers of Boys of Summer(Don Henley) and California Dreamin'(The Mamas and The Papas) are also nicely done, if you are in to dance music.

[Mythe_Seraph]

The Number 12 Looks Like You - "My Sharona" (The Knack Cover)

The Devil Wears Prada - "Still Fly" (Big Tymes Cover)

I like Metallica's cover of Whiskey In The Jar.

I will never forgive them for Tuesday's Gone though =(

[Soa]

Richard Cheese doing "Me So Horny" is the greatest thing I have ever heard.

More seriously Johhny Cash doing Hurt is easily one of my favorite covers, as is Atari's Boys of Summer.

[Dimmauk]

YouTube - Type O Negative - Summer breeze

[Ensam]

Ghost of Tom Joad is pretty sex too

word love that one

a couple:

Anathema covering Bad Religion's "Better Off Dead" (Turning a punk song into that is pretty damn impressive)

Nirvana covering Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (Aswell as every other cover during their unplugged set)

Mr. Rosso Covers Alice Cooper (I love Jason Segel)

[Omnipotent]

YouTube - One Man AC/DC Cover Band

One man cover of AC/DC. Back in black

YouTube - Hey Ya Cover

Mattle Weddle revamping Hey yea by outkast, this song is fucking the best.

YouTube - Umbrella-Scott Simon

Same concept as the Mattle weddle only for Umbrella.

[Neuro]

Most of the stuff I would post has been already, so:

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Foo Fighters - Baker Street
YouTube - Foo Fighters Baker Street

And as much as I like ATD-I, I didn't really like their cover of Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk. Didn't care much for the original either though.

[Kirin]

Johnny Cash doing Hurt is right up there.

Bush covering Wild Horses is one of my favorites, and Apocalyptica covering Nothing Else Matters is good too for some softer covers.

And for my favorite band ever, Garbage covered The Jam's "Butterfly Collector", which was released as a B-side I think during the Version 2.0 days. Such a creepy song and noone can do it better than Shirley.
