Favorite Cover Song
 
I've been listening to the Foo Fighter's cover of Prince's "Darling Nikki" a lot lately. That song rocks in so many ways.

What is your favorite cover?

Cake's version of Gloria Gaynor's I will Survive. I love that quirky timing and hip delivery.:thumbsup Very Bay Area, very cool.

Jimi playing "All Along the Watchtower" is pretty nice.

I also dig Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt." It's one of those things that really brings two opposites together. Good stuff.

Failure's Cover of the Depeche Mode song 'Enjoy the Silence'
Or The Deftone's cover of 'To have and to hold' (another depeche mode song)

Gob - Paint It Black

I guess you'd have to be from Vancouver (and especially from Langley) to appreciate it ;)

Was driving around Phoenix the other night in a big ass SUV with JMan, Tanker, and Cameron blasting Bloodhound Gang's It's Tricky. Good song to drive around listening to :thumbsup

I usually hate covers as these days they are pretty much the domain of boy and girl b(l)ands .

That said, Placebo have just done a terrific cover of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill'. One of the best covers I have heard.

KobyBoy 11-14-2003 06:40 AM

Marilyn Manson's cover of Soft Cell's Tainted Love and Orgy's cover of New Order's Blue Monday. Both song I can rock out to no matter what.

yeah, I think his version of Tainted Love is better than Soft Cell's but did you know that soft cell's version is a cover song too?

PSGuru 11-14-2003 06:45 AM

Jane's Addiction - Sympathy for the devil :)

gothweb 11-14-2003 06:46 AM

KMFDM did a great cover of U2's "Mysterious Ways"

basschick 11-14-2003 07:30 AM

both SOD and anthrax did "milk(ode to billy joe)" and i love 'em both :)

haven't heard Cake's version of Gloria Gaynor's I will Survive - gotta check that out. and i always loved fine young cannibals doing suspicious minds.

we went to play with an old friend of mine who took up drums a little over a year ago and he wanted to play covers. we did wild thing but more metal-ly and we were screaming sex lyrics - it was fun :-) also did wipe out with pieces of the old batman theme mixed in.

who 11-14-2003 07:32 AM

Avril Lavigne doing metallica :1orglaugh

dennisthemenace 11-14-2003 07:40 AM

That's a good song to cover. Dwight Yoakum did one as well. You're right though...nothing beats the Original by THE KING.

The Foo Fighters cover of "Have a Cigar" is pretty damn good.

They also did a cover of the Ace Frehley song, "Ozone" way back in 1995.
(yes, the Foos have been around that long already)

dennisthemenace 11-14-2003 07:49 AM

oops.. also love what Disturbed did with Shout

Living For Today 11-14-2003 08:00 AM

the best version of tainted love is by the livind end ;)

my favourite covers would have to be:

pennywise - land down under
lagwagon - brown eyed girl
nofx - olympia wa

and of course me first and the gimme gimmes have a tonne and snuff also has lots of good covers!

Gspothottie 11-14-2003 08:11 AM

Johnny Cash's cover of the NIN song

sherie 11-14-2003 08:11 AM

Orgy doing Blue Monday by New Order

Cake - I Will Survive

:Graucho

dennisthemenace 11-14-2003 08:20 AM

Damn.. also forgot Faith No More who also did great covers.

Both Easy and War pigs were very well done by them.

True that no one can beat the king on this song, but Yoakum makes it sound damn good too!

Something about his twangy voice that fits that song well.:thumbsup

I like Stainds cover of Sober by Tool, I think Aaron Lewis actually sings it better IMO.

nofx 11-14-2003 08:48 AM

bowling for soup - hit my baby one more time
me first and the gimme gimmes - phantom of the opera
me first and the gimme gimmes - rocket man
me first and the gimme gimmes - I believe I can fly
goldfinger - 99 red balloons

that rancid/nofx split was pretty horrid I think, shows that nofx and rancid are really only good playing their own songs lol

the anti-flag/bouncing souls split was fucking awesome!

Butrflied 11-14-2003 08:59 AM

Do trance mixes count as covers? .. I really like Sash's version of Enjoy the Silence ..

I also really like Pearl Jam's cover of the Who's Baba O'Riley and New Found Glory's cover of That Thing You Do.
